Being of Chinese manufacture origin, I'd be concerned.
Enclaves are nice but now they have undefeatable audio engine start/stop. That "feature" is irritating as hell.
I had a 2014 enclave back then and it was great.
The encore (which is Korean) is a great car but they're small.

I got a new crosstrek a couple months ago. It was 25k plus tax without leather. It’s a prettt sweet ride and it’s great for driving in the mountains and snow. In Louisiana I don’t think you would need AWD really

My wide’s Buick Enclave is the biggest piece of shite ever. Thousands of dollars in repairs. AC twice, the fricking wiper linkage broke and you have to take the entire dashboard out to get to it. So that was like a $600 repair. The battery cables got corroded and the stupid battery is in the floorboard by the second row of seats. So to replace the cables was a huge repair. Tons of random crap like that.

She really liked the crosstrek, the only issue for her is that she's short, and for some reason the lift back is too tall for her to reach after it opens, she has to jump a bit to grab it to close it. She always use the storage space in her audi, so it's a concern.

It is honestly high, and the salesman didn't know if it can be adjusted.

My mom's had two, and the AC went out a ton and back windows stopped working. All mainly electrical issues, which makes me not trust buick, but the ride was actually nice.

have her look at the 4runner LINK

they have leather and fit your price range, its very roomy inside and has extra cargo room in the back

if not then go with the rav4 and it will last you 30 years and 600k miles trouble free if you change oil regularly

We had a pathfinder platinum.

Wasn’t large enough for car seats and all the shite required for 2 kids on a road trip.

Great car though. Rouge is a mini version of it.

Why is she trying to buy new for >28k? That’s not going to get you very far even in the crossover market.

A 4Runner for less than 28k? Roomy compared to what? A clown car? As an adult it’s cramped in the back seat and I’m only 5’11.

We paid $28k for a 2016 CX5 grand touring in December 2015. It has been free of any issues in the 3.5 years since. 38k miles on it and no issues. We had a son in November though and wish we had more storage. If we were in the market to upgrade, a cx9 would be high on the list. My wife drove an '04 Mazda6 for 11 years before we got the CX5 and we have always been very happy with our Mazdas. Great vehicles and a better driving experience over the hondas and toyotas.

She's worried about issues with used cars. For her it's like wearing things from goodwill.

Buy an off lease Q3, no idea where you could find one of these.

Much better bang for your buck than the others on your list.

Might as well break up with her now because she is obviously retarded.

But she’s willing to buy a new Buick or a fricking Hyundai ? She sounds petty you should move on.

Check out Off lease only
