A 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 I think.Someone needs to find Infinite Furry and his Carolina Blue Porsche for this thread.
This is correct. You get a fully loaded vehicle with ALL the bells and whistles for $25,000 less than a lexus, bmw, etc. Plus the warranty and regular fuel. I don't think I have ever ridden in a car that had more features.
I bought a Corolla cross hybrid a year ago and have been happy with it. It sounds like the Mazda cx-50 hybrid is built on the same hybrid platform by the same factory, but with a nicer interior.The girlfriend is looking for a new vehicle (crossover) and I couldn't believe how nice the Mazda line of SUVs are now and they are very well priced. Unfortunately she's not a fan of the longer front end of the CX-30, so it's been moved down her list. Her favorite is the Subaru Crosstrek but the closest Subaru dealership is about 50 miles away and that is a big concern.
We both liked the Toyota Corolla Cross but bang for your buck versus the CX-30 and the Crosstrek just isn't quite there. It's still a serious contender and if the right deal comes along, it could very well be the choice.
There's only one way to go after beating an Accord into the ground.Think I'm about ready to retire my 2005 Accord after 10 years of ownership and probably 100K miles (200K on it total). At the point where it needs a few thousand $ in wear & maintenance items (timing belt, shocks, certain suspension components)
Don't see myself replacing it with anything much newer. A lot of cars from that era or a little later still pique my interest. Whatever it is, it will need suited for winter driving which rules a lot

Cybertruck.
I should check that out.im about to pull the trigger on a new mustang mach-e lease. They are basically paying people to lease certain ev's now
I said I need something suited for winter
What an eloquent way to say it's a piece of shit.You said you needed something suited for winter driving. As the Cybertruck isn't suited for any kind of driving, you can't really say it underperforms in the snow.
Yeah, I leased a 2022 Pilot for the same payment as my 2019. It was cheaper then to lease a new car than to buy a used one. Went to turn back in the 2022 last month and was shocked at how much the 2025 Pilot cost. It's about $10K more than the 2022 with the same options. I ended up buying out the 2022 one. But now I am thinking of getting rid of it and getting a Palisade. The 2025 is the same cost as the 2022 Pilot.Still regret not buying something in 2019-2020, right before car prices & inflation really started to jump
I actually sold a car in that timeframe, which makes it worse
The midsize suv market is nuts. I’m a “never buy new” type, but I’m also looking at 2023 crv hybrids with 20k miles going for $2k less than 2025s, and 2022 rav4s going for $35-37k. If it wasn’t for my other half’s firm desire for cargo space, I think I’d just get a bulletproof, loaded 2020 fusion hybrid, save $15-20k, and call it good for 8-10 years.Sister has been shopping a while. Decided on a RAV4. Problem is it's 8 to 10 months wait on a new one with the package she wanted. Got a calll 3 weeks ago that the dealer was able to get one from a NOLA dealer but it would be 2K higher. She jumped on it. Dealer already saying it woukd cost even more today.
I bought a new 2025 CR-V Hybrid for $32.5K. But I worked dealers for 6 months before making the move. 3.9% interest. 40 mpg. A versatile city and road car. CR-Vs upsized a few years ago and it is surprisingly spacious with more cargo room than the small SUV competition. The dealer was going to give us only $500 trade-in for our 2009 Odyssey - so we kept it for big landscaping hauls at Lowes. The CR-V Hybrid is not an off road king like the Outlander (which has a hybrid for 2026). But it has significant oomph and short acceleration in moving traffic. Agreed - the used cars are overpriced vs. depreciation.The midsize suv market is nuts.
