Just bought a 2017 GMC Acadia Denali for my wife to drive. 35,000 miles. Super clean. Feels like you are floating on the road compared to her Jeep. It has all the bells and whistles.
The ride is freaking amazing. Close your eyes and you'd think you were in a large sedan.

comfortable ride and jeep have never really ever been used in the same sentence except to say if you want a comfortable ride dont buy a jeep.

i have a customer that has raced stock cars for over 30 years, he knows power, he also is a manager for a company with about 30 trucks in their fleet and has historically been a Chevy/GM guy, his fleet switched to the turbod Fords and he swears up and down his 3.8 has way more torque and power than his 6.2 Chevy, and gets as good or better mileage without a trailer behind it. He did say that if he was always pulling that he would stay with the 6.2 chevy since it get better mileage when towing, but for the once in a while guy that Ford is 100% the way to go.
Took the scenic route to my girlfriend's place last week. Got on a two lane road behind a guy in a Lexus who was too slow. After about 1500 twists and turns, got to a small straight away were I thought I could pass.
Stomped on it and long story short, I needed to change my drawers. Literally said " oh shit" when the twin turbo kicked in.
My Honda is approaching 200K miles so I'm starting to look around at options for upgrading from my car to an SUV. Been looking off and on for a few months now, but I don't have much experience or knowledge when it comes to a lot of stuff, but especially car buying.
Any tips that any of you can share? Is there a better or worse time of year to buy? Or should I just keep waiting to find that unicorn vehicle priced way below market value?
Should add, I'll definitely be buying used. Thanks in advance for any help!

Time of year won't matter with a used car. I'd hit up my local Honda Dealer for the Pilot. Had one about eight years ago and loved it.

I'm waiting for the Ford Ranger Raptor. Only available in other countries now. Just want a smaller truck than the F150, but with the tough Raptor look.
What about a Bronco?
Love 'em. But I need a pickup.

I spent years driving VWs and Audis until they finally nickeled, dimed and dollared me to death. Love how they look, but seemed I was spending $1K every couple months or so. Decided to buy a used Acura SUV about 2.5 years ago and I've decided I'll never buy another brand. This thing has 130K on it and all I do is change the oil. I'm sold on the Honda/Acura brand in terms of reliability.

ive been looking to upgrade both my wifes and my rides and right now the market is ridiculous, most dealerships around here have almost no inventory and the prices reflect that. She wants to get back to mid sized SUV like a tahoe, shes had a crossover for the last 7 years or so and I really dont like it, or any of them that style, shes had 4 tahoes in the last nearly 30 years and always like those, but they are damn near a unicorn these days. same with low mileage pickups ( I drive about 40K a year so it makes more sense for me to just buy used coming off warranty instead of taking that big asskicking in less than a year )
long story short, you might be better off waiting a little while for the inventory levels to go up and the prices to come down again.

I have a Honda Accord V6, which offers plenty of power. To your point the idea of a German car is fun until you see the bills rolling in outside of the first 2-3 years of ownership. Not that I am a proponent of leasing, but it makes sense on those cars. Being able to change the tires and oil without much else makes my bank acct more excited.

I've been driving VW's for years now (presently a GTI), and lease all of them (for the very reason of minimizing bills after 3 years, but also cuz I get bored and want a new car). I took my girlfriend to get her BMW back from the shop yesterday, and I was driving the loaner car they gave her and the thing was a beast (M340). Suffice to say...... I spoke with a customer rep from her dealer inquiring about purchasing a new car.
