Acura RDX vs. Infiniti EX35 vs. Jeep Grand Cherokee

2012 Acura 2012
vs.
2012 Infiniti EX35
vs.
2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
I've been trying to decide what new car I should get. All these cars are in the ~30k range. I'd like to get an opinion from the money board on which yall think is the best value.
Also, it doesn't have to be a 2012 model.
I have $10,000 that I can put towards a down payment, hopefully looking to get under 4% interest rate. I can put around $450 towards monthly payments as well.
Thoughts?

The wife has a 2010 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4wd and she loves that truck. It is very well built and has been 100% reliable with no problems in two years. The new models are a lot more refined than ours.
I don't know much about the other two.
Good luck.

Cherokee is clearly the best looking of the three. I am guessing the others have been features.

You actually would compare a Jeep( which is really a dodge) to Acura and Infiniti?
A dodge compared to two luxury cars that have the highest ratings
I would favor the Infiniti slightly over Acura but both are excellent vehicles
Jeeps are no longer jeeps they are dodges with a jeep emblem

Acura is getting uglier every year

I wouldn't touch the Jeep. They are not very reliable after a few yrs. as for the Acura or Infinity. Basically comes down to do u you like Ho da or Nissan better? Personally, I like the exterior of the Infinity, but its hard to beat an Acura's interior.

You should check out a Honda Crosstour, wife just got one, loves it. Under 23k on an 2012 EX, 0.9% for 60 mo. financing. Keep your 10k.

The correct answer is to get a well cared-for 2007-ish model. Costs tons less.

If you look used, don't even consider the Jeep.

Thanks for the input everyone. If I do get a 2007ish model, then I won't get a Jeep.

Have the new jeep.bought it over lux ,odels like the Audi JD Infiniti. Great decision and we love having the extra $$ in the bank too.

JGC. Looks great, great interior, great options. I wish my wife would have liked the JGC else it'd be sitting my driveway. Went with an MDX instead.
I have an Acura and an Infiniti, and would consider the Jeep over the other two. Of the two jap models, I prefer my Infiniti.
This assumes you're looking at new, or near new.

Yeah, near new. I just stayed working, young, single, and no dependents so I can throw some cash at this. Obviously, I know cars aren't good investments, so I want to be wise with my money. And we are settling the estate so I'm due for $10,000.

Get the overland Jeep and you won't miss anything that the others have. Or get the Laredo with Leather/Backup cam and save $$

Jeeps are garbage. I speak from experience
Posted on 12/1/12 at 6:09 pm to guttata
Jeeps are note Jeeps they are dodges

I have an 05 JGC Limited and it has been a fantastic car. Most people that ride in it are impressed by the condition and the feel.
What are these comments about jeep being a Dodge?
I like the Acura ZDX the most....gorgeous design.

I have an 03 Infiniti FX35. I love that thing! I like it even more than my 09 BMW 328i convertible! I didn't expect that to happen.
We are getting rid of the convertible soon and I want something new and am considering another Infiniti for sure!

The Acura gives you all the luxurious features of a midsized sports utility vehicle and handles like a Indy car.

Buy an AZN car and you'll never be disappointed by engine trouble....buy American and get to know your mechanic.
