My '06 Camry is getting a little rough around the edges these days...
Looking for something new to me, likely used with lower miles.
I think I'd like a crossover, definitely not a big SUV. Maybe even something sporty. Not a truck.
What do y'all drive and love??

Escape. It's small enough to be nimble, but large enough to pack people, saddles, feed, etc. Good MPG. We have one with almost 400k miles on it. They are beasts in the snow too.

I hve a 2015 Ford Mustang. I LOVE it! BUT, it doesn't go in the winter because it is rear wheel drive...that would be the only complaint. But since you live down south, that shouldn't be an issue since it doesn't snow so much down there.

I really like the Ford Edge and the Chev Equinox. My sister drives a Chrystler Aspen that she loves.

I currently drive a dodge dart. It is a cute car and gets great mpg but its not very spacious.

 I just bought a 2013 Volkswagen CC Sport Plus. If I could figure out how to post pictures on here I would post lots. I've never had a car before and I'm absolutely in love with this car! The interior is two-tone beige and black, it's cute, super sporty, and looks very classy. I'm so impressed with it.

I think if we had to buy a newer car tomorrow it would be the Buick Verano or Regal. We usually rent these when we travel and really enjoy them. Or a Kia Soul. We had one and it got totaled and I'd still buy another.

As far as small SUVs, multiple people I know LOVE their RAV4s. I'm just not a Toyota person. I'm really picky about buttons on the entertainment console and for that reason I wouldn't buy a Ford. I do like the Jeep Cherokee but wouldn't buy any Jeep below that price point due to quality issues.

I'd steer clear of Chrysler products, they're all crap. VW handle so heavy on the front end; not a fan. They also don't seem to come as "loaded" as they used to.

I work for a car rental company and have some strong initial opinions of the makes/models we carry. I guess if I had to choose an economy sedan Od go with the Kia Optima but I've heard of engine issues. I currently drive an 09 Elantra and I love it. The newer Elantra have poor visibility when looking over the shoulder and aren't as comfortable.

 I was planning on buying a 2013 Kia Optima SX, but once it arrived we noticed a lot of interior damage. But it was fun to drive and sporty. I've never seen interior like this VW before. Love it. Keep us posted on what you decide!

I have a Ford Fusion. Great gas mileage, roomy back seat. I've thrown a couple hay bales in the back, several bags of shavings.

I've been itching for something different, and looking at an Explorer. I've always loved the Escape's, just think I want a 3rd row seat.

VW fan here too! I've just bought a 2017 Passat with the black and beige interior. It's pretty. Except the blue jean stain on my seat :/

I had a 2013 Passat tdi with all black interior before. Woulda drove it into the ground if vw hadn't of made an offer I couldn't refuse. The 42 mpg was hard to let go but my new one gets about 31 mpg. The Passats have tons of room. I can fit like 4 bags of shavings in the trunk lol

I disagree my new vw practically drives its self. I'd rather drive it over the Mercedes GLK my mom has. I looked at several cars up to $40k and vw had just as much or more techy stuff and a better lay out for way less money.

I will say Nissan had the most comfortable seats...omg they were dreamy!

Until last June, I had driven a truck, all BIG trucks, for 21 years. My Mom and I haul together and there are two big trucks available, so I downsized. I bought a 2016 Mustang GT California Special. .. I LOVE it, as I have never had a hotrod!

2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. 10 year 100k mile warranty. Gets 24-26MPG in town and 30-32 on the highway depending on how I drive. Costs about $30 to fill up. Brand New off the lot I got mine for 22k. Wait for a good sale and it's worth it. Great car with room for feed if I need to pick anything up. Hauls the kids, hauls the dogs, it's great. Plus I'm covered for 10 years or 100k miles. And if you knew my luck with cars you would be super excited for me LOL. It's larger inside and out than the escape but still considered a compact SUV. My SO is well over 6 foot and fits easily inside. He loves to drive it.

 VW fan here too.  I drive a mid 2000s VW and I'll drive it until the wheels fall off. It gets phenomonal gas mileage, is sporty, safe and has held up great!  I am someone who places zero priority on vehicles as long as it's safe/not a total beater. I see people practically going hungry trying to make huge car payments trying to keep up with the jones's and I am just not wired that way.

Someone mentioned RAV4s. I sincerely feel like those things are tippy, chincy built, death traps. LOL.  I say VW all the way!

Have fun shopping!!

We enjoy the Kia vehicles. My DH has driven a Sorento for the past 4 vehicles. Good mileage, comfortable seats. I have a Lexus RX400h and the seats are not as comfortable as his Sorento. He usually gets about 28 MPG or so. We recently found out that Kia came out with a new model, a Kia Niro. Small SUV. We looked, drove and even took over nite. WE were well pleased...53 MPG!! We will be ordering one I think.

I have been shopping a little and haven't found anything I love yet, but I am leaning towards the new Kia Niro hybrid. They don't have any on the lots around us yet but I defiinitely want to check them out. I can't buy for a few months anyway, so I don't mind waiting.

Didn't know these existed until I saw them the other day. Pretty cheap compared to the hybrid SUVs in its class.  
I almost bought the Sportage until I drove my Santa Fe Sport. Much nicer inside and had more bells and whistles for the same price. 
I looked into the Hyundai Ioniq hybrid hatchback a little too and liked it. It's a car but has the same room as most small SUVs

Maybe a little too big for what you're wanting, but I LOVE my Ford Explorer. It has a fold down seat in the back so I can fill it with lots of saddles, feed bags, etc when I need to.

Otherwise two of my sister's have Chevy Equinox's and they really like them.

I recently bought a Nissan Altima. Nothing fancy (by today's standards) but perfect for me. Perfect size, perfect modest look, comfy seats, and great gas milage. I guess the continously variable transmission got a bad rap when it first came out, but they must have refined it big time. I really love it.

 I had a GMC Terrain loaner a couple of years ago--it was fun, and very nice inside. Had quite a bit of room for being little, but not something I'd want to deal with all the time. I can haul a half ton of feed in the back of my Tahoe...and still have room for a couple of kids and a trip to Sam's. Haha

I'm coming up on my second year with my Ford Edge and gosh I love it so much still. It doesn't get the greatest gas mileage (I used to have a Nissan Altima) but my commute to work is only 15 miles so I don't worry about it. I love the huge sun roof and the heated seats as well as how easy it is to fold the back down and fill it with shavings or grain. Once you fidure out what size vehicle you want I suggest driving all the different ones in that size. It's amazing how different they all are.

Have an '07 Jeep Patriot. LOVE it. SUV without SUV size. Our is the strip down, 2 wheel drive, nothing is electric, manual transmission. Been a great car, only maintenance has been the normal wear and tear. I get close to 30 MPG.
I loved the back with the kids, great diaper changing station, place to change muddy clothes AND most importantly is can hold six compressed bales of hay! The bottom of the back has a removable plastic liner for easy cleaning!

I drove a new Honda CR-V the other day..I kind of fell in love.

I struggle to get comfortable in a car and this thing felt waaaay closer to our big trucks than a car, but still gets 33mpg highway.

I want to try some of the other smaller SUV's but we have always been pretty partial to Honda's as a family, and a lot of my older family members have worked in various aspects of the auto industry.

 My daily driver is a 2009 Chevy HHR. 

It has room for all my crap, is really peppy for a 4 cylinder and good gas mileage. It has almost 160k on it and still runs good.  I am not looking forward to when I have to get a new car. I really like the HHR's.

I drive a 2013 Camry. My last car was a 98 Camry that I took to 240k miles before selling it (still ran great!). They are great, reliable vehicles, and for a sedan, they really have a good amount of room (I can fit a lot of pellets/shavings in my trunk! ;) ) I think the newer models are nice-looking.

My mom has a Toyota Rav4 which is the Crossover. They have a lot of room! The Chevy Equinox seems nice too.

 my daily driver is a 2010 dodge challenger. love the gas mileage. 

The only CAR in the Dodge family that I would buy. I love how spacious this thing is and the gas mileage isn't horrible considering it's a sports car. Huge trunk and backseat for passengers. And rides so smooth.

I really really want a Buick Enclave.  

We were just in San Diego over Spring Break and felt like I spent a lifetime up and down the I-5 that week.  I was paying attention to the makes people were driving and I swear most of the cars on the road were Kia's.

I only have a 4 mile commute to work, and I don't want to drive my dually for that business so I bought a BRAND NEW, Nissan Versa. 5 speed, cloth seats, no cruise control. It has AC and blue tooth. Thats about it. But it gets 45 MPG.... and the best part, I paid 9,000 CASH OUT THE DOOR for a brand new car!!!!! Its perfect... I think I could get a couple bags of feed in there if I wanted to... I only get gas once a month, sometimes 6 weeks and it takes 15.00 to fill it.

I just sold my 2010 Corolla that I purchased new. That was seriously the best car. I had no issues whatsoever with it. It had 76,000 miles on it. I have a friend who has a corolla also and he is pushing 300k with his. They are awesome cars! It was hard for me to sell it but I was approached with a deal (within the family) that I couldnt pass up. I know Toyota's are foreign but they make a good vehicle. My dad has driven nothing but their trucks for the past 15 years. He had 2 Tacoma's and 3 Tundras. They have been great trucks also.

My first car was an older Ford Focus. It was great, never had any problems. Then I got a 2010 Mazda3, it was 3 years old when I bought it. Also great, never had problems, but I totaled it. It surprisingly protected me really well. I flipped over a guard rail, rolled three times down a steep hill and hit a tree. The driver side was what hit the tree. My car was absolutely smushed. I didn't have a single scratch and wasn't even sore the next day.

So I used what I got from the insurance company to get a brand new (at the time) Mazda3, so it's a 2015. So far so good, although my bad luck follows me like the plague and I've cosmetically screwed it up 3 times now (backed into something, took the passenger mirror off, then got hit in a parking lot - which was truly not my fault, I was stopped behind another car with no where to go a truck backed out of a parking spot right into me). My friends say I either need a tank, or a chauffeur. I spun out and went in the ditch two weeks ago when it snowed, but thankfully it didn't damage anything haha.

The only thing about a sedan is if you have kids or are in and out of your backseat a lot it would be a pain. They also don't handle snow well, but I don't get a lot of snow where I live. It gets really good gas mileage, I commute 30 miles to work, then 30 miles back, then an extra 7 miles to my parents to take care of my horses. So my car goes about 75 miles everyday. I typically gas up twice a week.

My mom has a chevy equinox and its a great car too, but I'm not sure about gas mileage.

My boyfriend drives a Mazda3 back and forth to college. Its a "touring" so it has leather seats and all the other goodies. I've drove it a few times and it drives really nice. Not much road noise which I like. I'm getting a 2016 Mazda CX5 in a few days and I'm pretty excited about it. It'll be my first SUV and I cant wait lol.

My '06 Camry is getting a little rough around the edges these days...
Looking for something new to me, likely used with lower miles.
I think I'd like a crossover, definitely not a big SUV. Maybe even something sporty. Not a truck.
What do y'all drive and love??

I have an 07 camry SS and I LOOOOOOOVVVVEEE it. It has 248XXX miles on it and it is so so reliable. I want to buy another one but I'm going to wait till this one quits driving... 300,000 miles maybe? I bought it just to drive to college and have a run around car that isnt too nice (Don't get me wrong, its nice. Leather, heated seats, AUX , blue tooth, calling etc). I want another one, similar year and just a little less miles.

 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee (diesel) I absolutely love it and can't imagine going back to a truck! Easy to drive in town, good on our terrible Alberta winter roads, lots of room for groceries. I can't say enough good things about it :
