oh, this seems an issue. ee problem gurinchi vinaledu, is it with all Honda cars or only CRV/odyssey?

Odyssey ki vinna .. my friends complained

mileage is ur concern ante go for hybrid then .. 30+ istundi for That price 

Highlander hybrid not worth.. pickup ledu .. my friend has it

seinna hybrid is super.. go for it.. 

crv and other cars you mentioned will be cramped going forward.. not enough room.. buy seinna hybrid and call it a day

paatha honda sedan nundi suv ki move adamani shop chestunna. famiy of 4 with 2 pilla bachas. Narrowed down on crv hybrid, sportage hybrid, and also optionally Lexus RX350h. Crv ki 1-2 month wait period, sportage ki about 3 months undi, Lexus ki 1-2 months wait period. Need your inputs to help taking a decision. Pros and cons for these are here.

Honda (sport touring: seller okay for MSRP rate of $40K)

+ reliability, efficiency, high resale value, roomy, heated/ventilated seats, pretty silent cabin

- boring design for 2023, infotainment small screen, no panoromic moonroof, lacks few tech features that are standard in other cars

 

Kia ( EX trim, seller quoting 20% above MSRP of $32K, so total about $40K, sx-presitge trim is MSRP about $38K)

+ liked the trendy design and interiors, way ahead in infotainment, panaromic moonroof, fun to ride, 10 year warranty

- high price, extended wait period, lower resale value than Honda.

 

Ivi kakunda, also test drove and liked Lexus RX350 hybrid, emanna unda aa car seller is asking for MSRP rate of $55K.

+ luxury segment, high reliability and high resale value, sporty design, powerful engine

- expensive than the other two, very fast selling inventory

 

Discussing with a local credit union for auto loan that is quoting 3.99% APR, dealer vallu quoting above 7% which is average in the market.

Wife prefers CRV, I like either Kia or Lexus (can look for leasing option given financing is expensive than other two). 

 

Any feedback from who got these cars recently or any inputs would be of help.

 

Try Subaru Ascent 7/8-seater or Mazda CX90. Both are good.

sure, mazda is coming with hybrid variant of CX50, I think early next year.

[imhott]

so went and checked mazda cx-50 today. its good one with nice interiors and features. but not as roomy as crv. ento lots of vehicles, evadu konatam ledemo.

 

if its of use of anyone looking for 3-row suv, cx-90 is awesome and dealer said there is hybrid version coming in next 2-3 months.

Don't know why tellollu Subaru cars oka range lo kontaru...Forester, Outback. I felt like getting one but Engine dull antunnaru

If you are interested in some trendy outdoors, Ford Bronco chudu

For kids, Honda Pilot, Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palaside are good. Toyota is generally reliable too

[anna_gari_maata]

I liked these cars the most

Generic - RAV4, Mazda CX-50

Outdoors - Subaru Outback, Honda Passport, Bronco (not sport)

Luxury - Genesis GV80, Acura MDX A-Spec

7 seater - Pilot, Kia Telluride, Ford Explorer

Sport - BMW X5, Porsche Macan

EV - Volkswagon ID.4, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Rivian R1S, Mustang Mach E

Subaru has a loyal customer base

I have Outback and you're right. Turbo engine is good but the transmission doesn't match it(all cvt are like that). Other than that it's an amazing wagon in every other way for the money.

Ideal 4 wheel drive for harsh weather conditions and off-road compatible.. their 4 wheel drive  is very superior 

And lot of add onns for bike racks and luggage space ..ideal for north east states ..where families go for a hike twice a month

not sure but definitely cheaper than Outback. I paid 38k OTD for outback limited XT. I don't think Forester has a turbo, check out the wilderness edition too
