The wife and I are investigating 3 cars:
1) 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited (~38k)
2) 2015 Volvo XC60 (~40k)
3) 2015 Infiniti v70 (~40k)

Throwing the question out here for people with more experience. Any pros/cons to either of these 3 brands given the price? I have the assumption that Volvo is most reliable among those 3 but maybe that's just my perception. I believe all 3 will easily be able to hold our crap plus our 2 kids and their crap.

Any other thoughts given those price points? Positive or negative experience with those brands or cars?

Jeep gets a bunch of hate- they used to be unreliable and were in the shop all of the time, but I have a 2006 with 160,000 trouble free miles on it- my MIL is driving it now. I would have gotten another one if the back seat wasn't so small- I got tired of the kids kicking my seat.

I have had Jeeps with work. I would never personally own one.

I would go Volvo or Jeep. The Volvo may not be as reliable as you think and the repairs are not cheap.

I have a 2014 Grand Cherokee that I got new in Jan. of 2014 that has almost 60k miles on it.

Zero defects and 24 mpg.

I drive (mostly) like someone who plays by the rules.
