I have an X5 and do like the way a BMW drives, but if I had to do it again I would look at a Honda, Lexus or Acura. Just way more reliable in my opinion.

I try not to stereotype, but honestly, any time I see someone in a Rover, I know they aren't smart.

Thats over 100k. Acura makes good vehicles all under 50k except rlx sedan. If your interested in crossovers I like the Honda Pilot.

Why do you hate Range Rovers. Reliability has drastically improved and I love the grill on that bad boy.

Chevy cruze is my suggestion. reliable, nice, and cheap


thats the rental I am driving right now.

its ok I guess but I'm not too sure I'd care for it long term.

The turning radius isn't all that great and it feels a bit cramped on the inside for me.

Right now I'd put that behind a Focus and a Jetta based on the ones I've rented in the last couple of years on various trips.

no fricking way I get a pickup

not interested in becoming everyone's best friend when they need to move and since I work at a video production company I'd end up having to take shite to shoots all the time.

From $78,100
2016 Porsche Panamera, MSRP

And that's a 2016 brand new...depending on configuration.

Can you get the 3.5 in the MKX?


The problem I have with Lincolns is they all seem to be too similar to the Fords they tend to be based off of.

Like why would I get an MKX when I could just max out a Ford Edge? Same thing with an MKZ basically being a Fusion.

Have they changed much on the newer ones?

Can you demonstrate that?

I haven't seen any data that shows this.

Anecdotally, the last track day I was at, a Rover's brakes overheated within two mild laps.

A crossover might be the best option for me b/c I do kind of want something bigger but I also want something that will handle well w/some pickup due to Dallas drivers being crazy mofos.
Had my car in for service and got a small lexus cross over as a loaner.
Fun car to drive. Had a little pick up and pretty good handling.

Lexus NX200t
