My wife's lease is up in about 10 months .... but we're starting to look for a replacement. I'm okay with buying anytime between now and then and just eating the lease payments since its so stupid cheap ($80/mo for 15k miles a year).
The next car for her will most likely be a crossover / mid-sized SUV .... odds are there is a kid in our future in 2-3 years, so trying to prep for a car-seat. If we go with a sedan, it'll be the Tesla model 3.
Her wish list is:
Pretty - hard for me to quantify this
Quick - to me thats 5.5 sec 0-60 give or take
Heater leather - she hates cloth
Navigation
Backup camera
I'm expecting to spend like $45-50k, I don't want to, but figure thats what it will take to get what she wants. We're okay with used if its really lightly used w/ CPO warranty. (2-3 years old 36k or less miles)
The short list we've got so far -
Jaguar F-pace - current front runner
Audi Q5 or SQ5
Ford Explorer Sport w/ 3.5 Ecoboost
Likes the look but slower than she would like:
RR Evoque
Acura MDX
Lexus RX and NX (NX is kinda small though)
Anyone have personal experience with these, or input on anything else I may have missed?
Thanks!
