I have been lucky for the most part. bought a vehicle when i turned 16 and drove it for 10 years; took a hand-me-done for a couple years; and have been mooching off my wife for the last 6-7 years.

We both used to walk to work, so one car was typically fine. But now, i have to drive to work (only about 10 minutes) and about 1-2 days a week she does too. So it has become a pain. Plus, i am truly sick of the excuse of it being her car when she back-seat drives it.

I truly don't want to spend a ton of money. Im going to test drive a subaru crosstrek this weekend then run over to Lexus to test an UX and NX for the likely top end of my arbitrary budget.

any other suggestions or tips would be appreciated.

Im looking at a small SUV/Crossover. We currently have a hatchback and i love driving it in the city, but my wife wants something a bit bigger.

I don't want a RAV4

The new VW Tiguan look nice, the top trim comes with 268hp. I think around $53k

Realized 4x4 modeblows through gas like a mofo. Can i go somewhere and get a ten minute tutorial from someone?

It seems to have lane assist mode all the time but the old one only had that when cruise control was on. Its felt like im sliding so a slow down but i think its adjusting my placement. Its unsettling.

What model is it?
