Buying a Used car, Options

[slots881]

Hey,
I'm about to sell my vehicle and will be in the market for a new used vehicle.
Currently looking at the following 2008-2010 models:
Bmw X3
Infiniti EX or FX
Acura RDX
Acura ZDX
Mecedes GLK
Audi A3

If there any other Vehicles in this range that I should consider? Any recommendations?
I know I have a couple smaller SUV's and a couple Wagons in there. Wife likes the higher ride of the SUV, but I like the look of the wagons more.

Will be a commuting vehicle. 2 people, no kids at the moment.
Thanks for any input

Argh, too many car/SUV threads.

Not enough van threads.

I would like a minivan for their practicality, but the wife says we are never getting a van... can't win that argument.

Why would you even have that discussion....wife says no minivan, you should just smile and say yes, dear your are correct

Buy a Sienna, replace Sienna badge with Venza. See if wife notices it's not a crossover?

Thumbs up on Q5 as it was a solid vehicle the 4 years we owned ours. Build quality for price was fantastic. Plenty of power, and stylish. My wife loved driving it.

Only draw back is trunk room, it is good for 1 kid, 2 is pushing it quite a bit. Also, you will find the seats folded down a lot if you are moving anything largish, so invest in a roof rack.

We recently got the Q7 and although bigger and a few more features there is a ton I love/miss about the Q5. Just a solid vehicle and a reasonable price for a luxury line.

thanks guys, I'll take a look at the Q5's.

I'm actually doing the exact same search and looking at the same vehicles. While the q5 is near the top of my list. It's also along the most expensive. I used to drive and rdx and loved it. Comes pretty loaded even in the standard model and runs great

Loved my A3 but it became too costly due to repairs so I had to get rid of it. It was an 06' though, so if you find a newer one you might not have the same issues I did.
