I'll sell you my wife's kia.. Is that what this threads about?

Yah I'm pretty sure that's on topic.

lol wtf. I bought a Santa Fe Sport this afternoon. I had been bouncing around between the Santa Fe, Tucson, Toyota Rav4, Highlander and Audi Q5.

Well shit, I thought we might be able to influence your decision

Please reference https://twitter.com/kenwarner/status/972204003907031040That said, feel free to criticize my decision. I do love buyer's remorse.To clarify, I got a 2018 Santa Fe Sport with the 2.0L Turbo. I think I got a good deal on a year end model but hey I only buy new cars every 5 years so I could have missed something. MSRP is 33k I got it for 26.5. I would have gone for the Ultimate edition with the panoramic sunroof, premium speakers and all the extra safety whatnots, but the only one I could find in the colors I liked was in Spartanburg SC and didn't want to make that drive.[Edited on September 7, 2018 at 10:59 PM.

get out.

Highlander wasn't worth the extra $?[Edited on September 9, 2018 at 12:23 PM. Reason : and Q5 more so? If you are planning on keeping this for a long time, good job avoiding the Audi]

eh, it wasn't about the money. honestly I just didn't like the styling of the highlander or the rav4 as much. and Toyota doesn't do Android Auto. plus all 4 cars I've ever bought have been Toyotas and figured it was time to try something else. I've been admiring the improved Hyundai designs for a few years now.

My dad bought one of the 1.6 turbo kia's after trading in his v6 mustang.I can kinda understand why he did it, as the mustang isn't really practical.I'll say this, I don't think any of the cars in the segment are inspiring. They are great at being cars, but nothing more, they are the vanilla milkshake of vehicles. I own a CRV, it's an amazing car, but I don't feel anything for it, and I don't have any compulsion for something newer.

Congrats on new vehicle purchase. Big decision like that is always somewhat exciting...even if the vehicle in question isn't.

the other thing about this is I just moved from NJ/NYC so I was using public transportation or Lyft most of the time. in the last 6 years I drive maybe twice a week. I live in Cary now but I WFH so I'm still not gonna be driving much at all. Didn't make sense to spend more on a car I'm barely gonna have a chance to enjoy anyways.the Q5 would have been "nicer" for similar money, but I've always been a "get a nice sensible car, who you trying to impress anyways" kinda guy. hard to break out of that mindset.[Edited on September 10, 2018 at 10:02 AM.

He did say 2006 and newer, so I'm figuring he meant $2500...

JT3bucky how many miles does your car have now? you're probably looking at 150k mile cars in that price range, is that less miles?[Edited on September 13, 2018 at 9:16 AM. Reason : .]

9/15/2018 8:00:18 PM
Did you at least get adaptive cruise with traffic jam assist + active lane keep assist features?

How do you like your Sante Fe Sport. We are in the market for something in that size. Looking at those and CX-5's but are just getting started. Anyone else have suggestions?
9/24/2018 1:44:48 PM
Forester XT (you might have to go one or two years older model)
9/24/2018 2:46:32 PM
^^ no complaints so far
9/24/2018 6:33:51 PM
We ended up test driving most of the cars in that segment and ended up with a 2018 Tiguan.They had all of the features that we were looking for and the 6yr/72k bumper to bumper was a pretty sweet deal.
