Location: Where you need a paddle... Oregon! | I'm looking for a smaller crossover/SUV as a get around vehicle so I can leave my pickup hooked to the trailer. I work from home and do very little driving, but want something that I like. My budget is $6000 or less I drove an Acura MDX that I liked a lot! Anyone had experience with the older models that would be in my price range? About a 2004 to 2006, depending on the mileage they have. Or other suggestions for the money? Really wanting heated seats, power, etc. |

Location: LuluLand~along I64 Indiana | I have a 2012 boxy type ford escape for the same reason. It has been a real workhorse! I haul feed in the back. Grocerys! put the seats down and move furniture, kids to and from college and the list goes on. Should be in your price range and have many reports of 250K+ mileage on them. |

Location: Displaced Iowegian | I just bought a 2021 Kia Soul yesterday ...... so far, I REALLY like it. It rides nice and is easy to get the ol' man in and out of it. I just checked the mileage (drove 50 miles) and got 32.6 MPG ...... I just need someone to send me their 8 year old child to educate me on the computer "stuff" ..... LOL

It is not. I have a flex fuel. They did the hybrids in the new sleek style i believe. 2012 was the last of the boxy types. I hope mine last another 10 years. |
