New Vehicle

[Runwildboys]

As an iPhone user I like the thought of using Apple CarPlay and I believe 2018 is the first year it’s offered on a Rogue.

Couldn't say, but I do have Sirius XM built in, plus Bluetooth Audio which I assume is similar?

You can get a great deal on a Subaru Forester XT 2.0 Turbo right now + 0% financing for 63 months.

I bought one about two months ago $26,800 (before tax and license).

You will love the Subaru. Everyone I know who has had them has loved them. Just keep an eye on the oil level.

My niece loves her Outback, but apparently they're very popular with her kind. (Wish there was a shoulder shrug emoji.)

Yeah, I went on a deep dive researching them before I bought. Apparently, the burning oil issue was a major issue especially with the 2.5 L 4-cylinder engine. That said, they supposedly resolved the issue back in 2015...so far so good with mine.

My wife loves her Rogue. We bought it new in 2015. No complaints here. Good gas mileage. Plenty of space. Looks nice too.

I have the small size SUV - Currently Ford Escape. About 27.5 MPG.
I had a Toyota RAV4. That was getting about 24 MPG.

Both good cars. Toyota seems a bit lighter than the Ford.
But that is the difference between a mode 10 years apart.

If you're still stuck.
Get the Consumers Reports buying guide book.

If reliability matters, Toyota Highlander or Honda Pilot.

my sister will never buy another honda again. her CR-V has been horrible with AC issues leading the way. no fun in florida.

midsize is dodge durango, ford explorer and grand cherokee stuff.

Just curious what kind of weather everyone is driving in. Here in Indiana we get all kinds of weather, so want something that’s good in snow.

AWD with my Rogue, and so far it's been great. Not quite as good as my 4WD Dakota, but I'm not used to driving it in the snow yet.

I have a 2007 Jeep Patriot 4 x 4 ... and I really like ... I’ve owned it 8 years and have had very little problems. Of course living in Canada, the 4x4 comes in real handy. Will likely replace my current patriot with another gently used patriot someday...

I had a 2004 Rav 4 4 cylinder that I got 285000 miles on it before it died in a rain storm. (daughter forgot (she says) to put oil in it.Great car
I have a 2007 rav 4 six cyliner that I love with 250,000 miles on it and still going strong. Going to deed that over to the grandson in hte next couple of months and then I am looking for a new one. May get the Toyota 4Runner. Love the car but know it is a gas guzzler. If not, we will go with the Highlander. I had one before and loved it. We are Toyota people. The only luck I had with an american car was a 1989 Ford Probe but it had a mitsubishi engine in it. Teh rest have fallen apart or just had major issues with it.

I'm a Toyota advocate too.

We just sold our 2004 Corolla (after buying the aforementioned Subaru Forester), but there was nothing wrong with it at all; it was a super commuter with 256,000 miles on it and still plenty to go.

While my wife now drives the Subaru, I still drive my 2004 4Runner which has 209,000 miles on it. No major issues ever with it.

Consider a Pinto Wagon I bought a 1973 pinto wagon in 1982 with 150,000 miles on it for 100 $ drove it until 1998 it died with 650,212 miles on it best 100 dollars I ever spent plus buying a wagon gives ya about the same space as a SUV. This is a true story I aint hoo hawing it is waiting to be revived

I have a dodge power wagon unstoppable in snow with factory lockers and winch but the worst gas mileage of any vehicle I have ever owned LOL. A couple of my friends have Honda CRVs and are very happy with them . Also seems like anything Toyota lasts a long time and is very reliable .

My daughter has 2004 Rav 4. 115K miles. Getting ready to take it to college, so it will be around for another 4 years at least. Great car. She loves it.

I thought about looking into Toyota,but doesn't look like they offer Apple Carplay which I want to try.

Why not keep what you have? Did you buy or lease?

I bought and is paid off,but it sucks in the winter and needing new tires and a battery before long and approaching 100,000,so figure trading before that magical mark would be the best thing to do.
