Which Suv with 3rd road you will recommend from 2019 to 2022. Thank you

I was looking at Hylander or Pilot but ia too pricey. What about the Outlander?

[vincentsantoiemma]

Recommending the GLK is absolutely crazy. These vehicles along with the whole Mercedes, Audi & BMW lineups have proven to be insane money pits. How can you possibly recommend these vehicles??

My 2008 Subaru Forester that I bought in 2016 with salvage title and 60k miles is extremely reliable and loved. 🕺

THE 2000 Navigator was a rental SUV at the time I purchased it. I saved 22, 000.00 and it had only 18000kg on it at the time of purchase. I drove it for 14 years. It was easy on fuel and had excellent navigation.

When purchased, Gr8 Paint, interior, Ran VERY Smooth - Transmission, Everything worked Very Well, Including snow hill settings, without putting to the specialty mide right away!
LOVING it...

2010 Infiniti EX 35 . Best vehicle I've ever owned, 209k miles and still going...

[derricklofton]

My 1997 & 2002 Mitsubishi Montero 3.5 L V6 was by far the most reliable and capable SUV’s ever, never got stuck in snow, it was A fearless Full sized SUV, traded one for the other, the only reason I got rid of it was the Lack of parts availability, the older it got it just got to expensive to find available parts.

As a Mazda CX-5 owner i say its realiable and fun and luxury suv at the same time for a low price ❤❤

This video has been very helpful and useful for my next car purchase.

My 225, 000-mile '03 Lexus GX470 is still going strong, V8 is smooth, quiet and powerful, the air suspensions works perfectly, it's got all-day driving comfort and with full-time 4WD and a locking differential, it will off-road quite well.

2:33 my BMW X2 was also made in Germany and I already spent $11, 000 on it in 3 years. They are build with cheap plastics

We had good luck with our 2008 Ford Escape with V-6 engine. At 200, 000 miles only had to replace the struts and water pump. Changed the oil with synthetic oil every 4, 000 miles and Transmission, Differential, PTO gear oil synthetic every 30, 000 miles. I wish the newer SUVs like the newer Escape did not evolve to look more like station wagons than boxy SUVs as I need an SUV that will fit 2 dog boxes side by side (47 inches of width between the wheel wells).

My wife drives a Honda Fit Shuttle and after watching this documentary I am now going to upgrade her car to either a Honda CRV or the Rav 4. Thanks.

I own a 2016 Honda CRV which we purchased used with low mileage in 2017 and it now has >66, 000 miles with no problems. But we do all the recommended maintenance. We have been happy with it and on long highway driving can get 30+ mpg!

I had a 2015 Nx 200t F Sport AWD and it was a great buy. Never had any issues in the short time i had it. Had it 6 months and put 17k miles on it. Only issue was it was a lil hard on gas, but id still buy another.

[jeffreyberry]

The best SUV I’ve ever owned is actually my current and first SUV 2016 Suzuki S Cross Gl Navigator

[ProffesorBlue]

I own a 2018 Outlander GT V6, good to see it made number 4 on the list, no issues at all, so I agree. No CVT either on this one.
There has to be a good reason this made in Japan SUV has a 10 year warranty, flies under the radar of most buyers. I took the zero percent interest deal in 2018 and now it's 100% paid off.
Just had a full detail done on it, with ceramic coating, and it looks brand new like it just came off the show room floor. This thing got me out a scary watery ditch one time, very safe AWD system.

[karenriegler]

I had a 2004 BMW X5. It was great for 200, 000 miles, THEN, it got electrical gremlins due to the panoramic moon roof. They are known for trouble. It still had a great engine and no issues, but when you get gremlins, it has to go. Made me sad. Now I have a DIESEL X5 with 125, 000 miles so far. Have not had any issues. Love an X5!

What about mileage for 10 used SUVs?
Is there any advice for mileage of used suvs?

My wife and I are still enjoying our 2012 Cadillac SRX. Purchased at auction, it was a lease car. We purchased it in 2015 and it had less than 25, 000 miles on it. only problem was it needed brake pads all around, 4 new tires and a new battery, oh the rear camera was fuzzy so I installed a new one in it. Great running car millage now at 110, 000.
