We had a Hyundai Palisade for years and absolutely loved everything about it! We never had any issues with it and it was the perfect family vehicle that gives you a little more room.
I bought a new Santa Fe in 2003, still driving...never had any issues. Only replaced brakes, wipers, tires, and oil changes over the years. Absolutely love it. What sold me at the time was their 10 yr or 100,000 mile warranty. I figured if they are willing to have a warranty that good it must be well made. Lived in Alaska so it saw lots of snow and ice, now in Idaho and we drove it down the Al-Can highway. Love it!
We have the Santa Fe Calligraphy, we have owned it for 2 months and have no complaints. It is so comfy, has under knee rests on driver side, driver side has resting seat, you can pull over and push a button and it lays flat. Wireless charging is the best we have had.
My son and daughter-in-law have a Hyundai palisade and love it. I have a Honda pilot, my second one. I love my pilot, never have problems with it. Run away from VW they have lots of issues. Stay safe with the hurricane this weekend.
I know you love your tech options. But are you looking at engines, possible repair costs, safety concerns, etc? You can't make every decision on appearance and coolness of the technology. Ask your mechanic what one they recommend.
We’ve had a Honda Pilot, Subaru Ascent and Toyota Highlander. I LOVE my Highlander. The Ascent was wonderful, but the transmission went out (under full warranty) at 15K miles. They may have fixed that issue in newer models, but something to be aware of. The Pilot was good, but I really like how the Highlander handles and rides better. Have fun shopping! You’ll love whatever you get!
Look at the hyundai santa fe and the hyundai Palisade... I have owned both love the santa fe just smaller suv now I have the palisade and LOVE LOVE LOVE it.. has 3 row still gets good as mileage. Hyundai warranty you can't beat it... i dont dialike anythjng about my palisade and i loved the santa fe juat wanted more room.
Invest in consumer reports at least for one month. They buy all of the cars they review and give an honest review. They rate most vehicles. I never buy a car with out checking there first.
I will say I’ve bought two of the same cars, one that was FWD and AWD makes such a difference, so much smoother and I honestly get less carsick in awd cars.
I wanted a Telluride. Loved it, but just like you guys, it's a $ price tag! I settled for a Sorento third row with captain seats and have never looked back! We have a we 2023! Lease, if you go that route, remember you can only drive so many miles! & yall love adventure!
I love my VW Tiguan! I have had no issues with it. My mom has the VW atlas and she loves it. Before my Tiguan I had a VW beetle and loved it too. VW have been in my family for a long time.
I just leased a 2025 Kia Telluride and I loveeeeee it! Super impressed by all the features and safety ratings. My telluride has the ambient lighting too!
Also my son has a Tesla Y and he loves it! I’m very impressed too! The technology of his car is simply amazing! ❤ Best of luck with you car journey! I know you’ll fine the perfect one for you both!
We just bought a brand new VW Atlas R line about a month ago and it has been the best car I've ever had. Its loaded with all the features I wanted and the most comfortable car ever with a new baby and toddler! I would definitely consider this car you will love it!❤ love yall btw!
I love to lease. I always have a new car and I don’t drive far to work so I don’t have to worry about milage, but you will always have a car payment. I have a Chevy equinox I will be on my third one. I absolutely love it. Good luck.
We never ever bought new vehicles in my family but good used. The moment you drive off the lot the value goes down. You save so much money & get really good vehicles with used. Especially if you know the prior owner or contact them before purchasing which we ALWAYS have done also.
We have a Hyundai Tuscon and love it! I want a new Santa Fe, but we don't need something that big. I love Hyundais! We haven't had any issues with them.
I like the Santa Fe a lot better than the other ones. I wish you guys the best on the car shopping. Praying for you guys to choose the right one for you and your family. I think mana Jo and your mom would love the Santa Fe better! Britt your dad would love a short style car and Jared your dad would like anything with speed.
Addition information regarding the Santa Fe Calligraphy.. the infrared sensor will not allow the cruise to function if you wear reflective sunglasses.. We found this out after my husband and the sales rep could turn on the cruise no problem. I was wearing sunglasses that have reflective coating like a mirror type you see on skiers. So, the infrared couldn't pick up my eyes 😊. It's a wonderful safety feature. The handsfree functions are really great too. The dashboard on the Santa Fe Calligraphy is very well designed for the driver and passenger. The color changing ambient lighting inside the vehicle is great to allow visual comfort.
Same thing happened to me i went to get a palsada and saw the santa fe was shocked, test drove telluride my wife didn't like peanut butter look I brought the santa fe the interior is amazing i brought all black caligraphy it is amazing!
We have the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy and absolutely love it!!! It's comfortable, great driving experience. Lots of amazing safety features. Amazing cruise control system. Excellent gas mileage for the size. The handling of this size vehicle is easy. The wonderful surprise was the turn signal with CAMERAS!! To watch the traffic on your blind side and the road/curb. A definite bonus!!! These features have prevented many close calls from vehicles coming in from nowhere. 360 cameras, sensors, etc. The steering wheel has infrared for cruise control to alarm the driver to keep your eyes on the road. This vehicle has a "alert" recommendations for ☕break that appears on your dash 😊. It's a wonderful vehicle compared to the Range Rovers but, a more reasonable price. *Promise, you will love it!!!
I’ve owned 2 Santa Fe. Make sure you get it in the AWD option for Utah winters. It’s an awesome car in the snow and with Hyundai, you get a lot for your money!
My brother has had 2 Tiguans from VW They’re surprisingly big for their footprint. Powerful and enough space for visitors and your Florida family! My brother sister in law has 2 large dogs, they fit in the trunk with their harnesses. So enough room Britt for luggage and Trader Joe’s bags galore!
I am team Santa Fe so far … that is a pretty car. What I noticed was the more square design of my RAV4 does allow me to fit more suitcases than my brother’s model Y. The more square the back hatch and wheel well placement matters if it “narrows” in the back of the vehicle. Not sure if you know the answer but with Hurricane weather etc. like Florida is having now would you have access to charging or will you apartment complex let you install a charger so you always have a full charge. Happy car shopping … this has been fun to follow along. Thanks for sharing.
I have a Kia Sorento, and I absolutely LOVE it! I also would not buy a vehicle with a 3rd row without middle row captain seats! They are life changing! If you have a middle row bench seat, then the 3rd row is so annoying to access, especially if you have car seats in your middle row!
Team Telluride here! I have had two deer hit my vehicle. I never felt the first one hit me. It did a ton of damage but I didn’t even feel a bump. It’s very safe!!
Have you thought about looking at the Chevy Traverse? We have a 2021 and love it. Has 3 rows like most of the other cars you’re looking at and is pretty spacious. Also the new 2024 is supposed to be amazing. Good luck car shopping!
We have a 2009 VW Tourag. We have had no issues with it at all. If you are going to lease let Jared have the Tesla. Then after the lease Britt can pick the next car. We have a Tesla model S and love it. I would love to get the model X. My husband is a tech guy and I am old school. 80 years old. Britt you will be surprised at how fast you will adapt.
Please test drive palisade. I have the calligraphy night edition and always in awe when I drive it daily. The lane assist features are so smooth and it shifts lanes for you!!!! You just click which side you’d like to go to and it does it when space is available. And the 3D camera views are spectacular. Also noticed you have children to include in car and the child safety features are amazing. Auto locks doors if a car comes beside so your kids won’t be able to open door at all until clear. And has hazard warning of door collisions. Also has fancy colored led lighting inside.
Also the massaging features vary. From pelvic, lumbar or whole body. So no aches after long drives 😊 go for the drive with details on features from an employee. You won’t regret it!!
⚠️⚠️I was between the Telluride & Palisade but extremely happy I went with the Palisade I tell people it rides and feels like a Cadillac without the outrages price and way more jam packed with technology than the Telluride 100% I’ve convinced 3 family members to buy one and they couldn’t be happier it would be the perfect combo for you two⚠️⚠️
Omg! I love that last one. Give up the peanut butter seats. It has everything you want and the tech Jared likes. And it matches Jared white Miami outfit 😂. Hope you are staying safe during the hurricane 🙏
You really should check out the 2023 models on both the Palisade and the Santa Fe. I will tell you the grill on the front of both is absolutely beautiful and the (Calligraphy package) is s clean and nice the detailing is very nice. I would be looking at the Limited addition and the Calligraphy addition.
I loved my Sante Fe... but decided I needed a smaller car to save gas. I did have the bench seat in the middle to put my Yorkers bed. Go for the Santa Fe.
Toyota all the way. I think you would love the Rav4 or Highlander. The full panoramic sunroof is a game changer (especially in Florida). They also have hybrid versions. I hope you love them as much as we do!
Happy Thursday Jared, Britt & Finley. 🐕🐕 Oh the joys of buying a car hey? 😉😅 On the Tesla. It's great that thinkers came up with the electric capability. 👍 But, where I live. The infastructure is no where near ready for good usage IMO. So it would be a HUGE nope for myself and the hubby. And I don't have a place to plug it in to charge. Do you guys have a charger system in the building? 🤔 I think the first question you have to answer is lease or own. And then make the decision on which vehicle. You two will make the right decision. Of that I'm sure. 😃 I hope you're not getting too bad of weather there today in Ft. Lauderdale. 🤞🤞
We have the VW tiguan and love it. It drives nice, kids love the sun roof since it's full front and back. Gas milage is not terrible le and they have been amazing to work with.The are more expensive to fix an oil change in MN at the dealership is $100.
I had a hyundai salafey years ago and to let you know, but it costs more to fix, but you don't have to fix them that often i really love my Hyundai Santa Fe. I have now a nissan rogue sport
I LOVE the look of that Santa Fe the white one but….. my Mom had 2 Santa Fe and both of them broke down CONSTANTLY……. Constantly. I would take that into consideration even though it’s beautiful.
I’ve been shopping for SUV’s for months. I have a Toyota Highlander and have had it for years. Love it but I want. Smaller one now. But I’ve found Toyota’s don’t have all the tech that Kia’s and Hyundai’s do. I’m probably going to buy the Hyundai Tucson hybrid 2025 model when it gets to the dealers. My daughter bought a Santa Fe when she went to college when they first came out. She loved it.
European cars have really high maintenance in comparison. If you are planning to get one, I would go with either the Volvo or Volkswagen. Of the ones I've seen you test drive, I would go with the Telluride. The interior of the Santa Fe was nicer looking.
Make sure that they have a place that can fix it. We ran into that problem in Oregon and my niece that has a Volkswagen have to go to Spokane for Montana to get her fixed.
I just realize that I'm more and more like Jared. Yes, Santa Fe all the way. The Telluride was too old. Yes, it does look somewhat tougher but the looks giving me an old vibe. Jared, if you get Santa Fe, make sure to get the HEV or PHEV engine. Even if you don't care about the environment, the boost of the electric motor and ICE engine will feel like you have bigger engine. The slow speed drive will also feel more relaxing because it's on electric. The best of all, no matter how bad you want to drive it. It will always give you a high gas mileage, even the city drive will give you better mileage than highway drive.
I LOVED my Volkswagens!! I had a Jetta and a Tiguan, both were the best cars I’ve ever drove in terms of acceleration, smooth ride, comfort, and practicality. If you take car of the car and get regular oil changes and maintenance, they are great, reliable, safe cars and so fun to drive. I was also in a bad car accident in my Jetta and I walked away without any injuries. If you don’t care about the driving experience or comfort, Toyota is always in the highest for safety ratings. I had a Corolla and my bf has a Tacoma and both are the most uncomfortable, crammed vehicles I’ve sat in and the pickup is terrible.
We had a Hyundai Palisade for years and absolutely loved everything about it! We never had any issues with it and it was the perfect family vehicle that gives you a little more room.
had? what car do you guys have now? what made you get a new one?
I bought a new Santa Fe in 2003, still driving...never had any issues. Only replaced brakes, wipers, tires, and oil changes over the years. Absolutely love it. What sold me at the time was their 10 yr or 100,000 mile warranty. I figured if they are willing to have a warranty that good it must be well made.

Think safety. Research safety ratings! That’s what’s important.
My son and daughter-in-law have a Hyundai palisade and love it. I have a Honda pilot, my second one. I love my pilot, never have problems with it. Run away from VW they have lots of issues. Stay safe with the hurricane this weekend.
I know you love your tech options. But are you looking at engines, possible repair costs, safety concerns, etc? You can't make every decision on appearance and coolness of the technology.
Ask your mechanic what one they recommend.
I LOVE my Nissan Rogue. My hubby and I rented one for a multi-state road trip and decided it would be our next car.
We’ve had a Honda Pilot, Subaru Ascent and Toyota Highlander. I LOVE my Highlander. The Ascent was wonderful, but the transmission went out (under full warranty) at 15K miles. They may have fixed that issue in newer models, but something to be aware of. The Pilot was good, but I really like how the Highlander handles and rides better. Have fun shopping! You’ll love whatever you get!
The new car smell I just love. ❤️❤️❤️ Oh to have a new car. 😊 And the light-color seats are better for Florida weather. ☀️☀️🌞
I Love my VW Atlas Cross Sport!..I love the heavy secure feeling I have driving it!!
Look at the hyundai santa fe and the hyundai Palisade... I have owned both love the santa fe just smaller suv now I have the palisade and LOVE LOVE LOVE it.. has 3 row still gets good as mileage. Hyundai warranty you can't beat it... i dont dialike anythjng about my palisade and i loved the santa fe juat wanted more room.
Just bought a 2024 Tiguan. Absolutely love it! Good luck car shopping! Love you guys!
I LOVE my palisade. I have had amazing experiences with Hyundai. Great customer service and warranty.
Invest in consumer reports at least for one month. They buy all of the cars they review and give an honest review. They rate most vehicles. I never buy a car with out checking there first.
I've watched your car shopping, I still like the Telluride. I hope you get your decision soon. Stressful!
I will say I’ve bought two of the same cars, one that was FWD and AWD makes such a difference, so much smoother and I honestly get less carsick in awd cars.
I’ve had a Palisade since November and it’s my favorite vehicle ever!
I wanted a Telluride. Loved it, but just like you guys, it's a $ price tag! I settled for a Sorento third row with captain seats and have never looked back! We have a we 2023!
Lease, if you go that route, remember you can only drive so many miles! & yall love adventure!
I love my VW Tiguan! I have had no issues with it. My mom has the VW atlas and she loves it. Before my Tiguan I had a VW beetle and loved it too. VW have been in my family for a long time.
If you don’t need a third row look at the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid just got one and loving it.
I just leased a 2025 Kia Telluride and I loveeeeee it! Super impressed by all the features and safety ratings. My telluride has the ambient lighting too!
I like when Britt says : it feels heavy 😂 ALL vehicles are heavy. 🤭
But i understand what she means: it feels solid and safe! 👍🏼🎉
No EV....can you imagine trying to evacuate out of Florida with no ability to charge? No white interiors with kids.
Also my son has a Tesla Y and he loves it! I’m very impressed too! The technology of his car is simply amazing! ❤ Best of luck with you car journey! I know you’ll fine the perfect one for you both!
I just got a Palisade and LOVE it!! I’ve only had Hondas and Toyotas previously, but I absolutely love my Palisade!!
I absolutely LOVE my Palisade calligraphy. Definitely test drive it. We love all the space and tech.
We just bought a brand new VW Atlas R line about a month ago and it has been the best car I've ever had. Its loaded with all the features I wanted and the most comfortable car ever with a new baby and toddler! I would definitely consider this car you will love it!❤ love yall btw!
I wanted a Santa Fe. Even went to the dealership to buy one but came home with Palisade. I just loved the room in it.
I have a Santa Fe and I LOVE it!!
I love to lease. I always have a new car and I don’t drive far to work so I don’t have to worry about milage, but you will always have a car payment. I have a Chevy equinox I will be on my third one. I absolutely love it. Good luck.
So many choices! Not easy to decide. Good luck!
We never ever bought new vehicles in my family but good used. The moment you drive off the lot the value goes down. You save so much money & get really good vehicles with used. Especially if you know the prior owner or contact them before purchasing which we ALWAYS have done also.
My son has had an VW Atlas with no issues. They love it
You should totally get a Toyota Highlander. They are awesome. My mom had one and it is the greatest SUV. I love the RAV4 as well as I own the RAV4.
I drive a 2022 VW Tiguan and I absolutely love it! It has plenty of space for 5 adults and a nice big trunk. It is so comfortable to drive and ride.
Please be safe down there! I’m keeping you both and your sisters family in my prayers! ♥️🙏🏻
We have a Hyundai Tuscon and love it! I want a new Santa Fe, but we don't need something that big. I love Hyundais! We haven't had any issues with them.
Our friends and some of our family have a Toyota Highlander and love them. I like a full size suv. I’m on my second Tahoe right now.
I like the Santa Fe a lot better than the other ones. I wish you guys the best on the car shopping. Praying for you guys to choose the right one for you and your family. I think mana Jo and your mom would love the Santa Fe better! Britt your dad would love a short style car and Jared your dad would like anything with speed.
We have had 2 Santa Fe’s and have loved them!
Telluride looked so rich❤❤️, if you could get the Santa Fe with the Carmel interior that would be a game changer
Addition information regarding the Santa Fe Calligraphy.. the infrared sensor will not allow the cruise to function if you wear reflective sunglasses..

I have never had any problems with either of my Sante Fe’s. I absolutely love mine. Now I want a 2024! 😎🤩
I have a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fa turbo and I love it
Same thing happened to me i went to get a palsada and saw the santa fe was shocked, test drove telluride my wife didn't like peanut butter look I brought the santa fe the interior is amazing i brought all black caligraphy it is amazing!
I did all the same car searching you did and I settled on the Mitsubishi Outlander and I love it. You may want to look at that also

They just changed the look of the Santa Fe' for 2024. The older ones are better looking! I have a 2022 and I love it!
I have a Santa Fe and i love it. I love the warranty hyundai has.
I’ve had a 2003 Santa Fe and love it
Your blue jeans will rub off on white seats
This is true! I had a Taurus that had off white interior and my seats needed cleaning a lot!
YES!
When you have kids you will be soooo sorry you have white interior!
I own the telluride and I love love it. It’s great for when the grandchildren come as they say it’s so fancy lol
Great video. I prefer the look of the Santa Fe so far.
I’ve owned 2 Santa Fe. Make sure you get it in the AWD option for Utah winters. It’s an awesome car in the snow and with Hyundai, you get a lot for your money!
My brother has had 2 Tiguans from VW
They’re surprisingly big for their footprint. Powerful and enough space for visitors and your Florida family! My brother sister in law has 2 large dogs, they fit in the trunk with their harnesses. So enough room Britt for luggage and Trader Joe’s bags galore!
I am team Santa Fe so far … that is a pretty car. What I noticed was the more square design of my RAV4 does allow me to fit more suitcases than my brother’s model Y.

I like the Santa Fe, the seats just look like they hug you❤
i still say stick with the one you love and get the kia one that brit fell in love w
I have a Kia Sorento, and I absolutely LOVE it! I also would not buy a vehicle with a 3rd row without middle row captain seats! They are life changing! If you have a middle row bench seat, then the 3rd row is so annoying to access, especially if you have car seats in your middle row!

I love Hyundai. Definitely go all wheel drive. I'm on my third Hyundai (Tucson) the warranties are great! Great company
Santa Fe. Love the white interior
Good luck hope u guys get your dream car
I have the Hyundai Palasede and I love it!!!
We have a 2009 VW Tourag. We have had no issues with it at all. If you are going to lease let Jared have the Tesla. Then after the lease Britt can pick the next car. We have a Tesla model S and love it. I would love to get the model X. My husband is a tech guy and I am old school. 80 years old. Britt you will be surprised at how fast you will adapt.
We have a 2020 telluride with the peanut butter seats and the wood finishes and we absolutely love are car
And the cool seats in the summer have been a life saver specially here in Arkansas
Please test drive palisade. I have the calligraphy night edition and always in awe when I drive it daily. The lane assist features are so smooth and it shifts lanes for you!!!! You just click which side you’d like to go to and it does it when space is available. And the 3D camera views are spectacular. Also noticed you have children to include in car and the child safety features are amazing. Auto locks doors if a car comes beside so your kids won’t be able to open door at all until clear. And has hazard warning of door collisions. Also has fancy colored led lighting inside.
Also the massaging features vary. From pelvic, lumbar or whole body. So no aches after long drives 😊 go for the drive with details on features from an employee. You won’t regret it!!
Please check Consumer Reports recommendations and their used cars to avoid list.
We have a Hyundai Tucson and a Hyundai Kona and we love them.
⚠️⚠️I was between the Telluride & Palisade but extremely happy I went with the Palisade I tell people it rides and feels like a Cadillac without the outrages price and way more jam packed with technology than the Telluride 100% I’ve convinced 3 family members to buy one and they couldn’t be happier it would be the perfect combo for you two⚠️⚠️
But the Palisade - you won’t be disappointed!!!
That bronze color looked nice with black details
Omg! I love that last one. Give up the peanut butter seats. It has everything you want and the tech Jared likes. And it matches Jared white Miami outfit 😂. Hope you are staying safe during the hurricane 🙏
I LOVE my Santa Fe!!
You really should check out the 2023 models on both the Palisade and the Santa Fe. I will tell you the grill on the front of both is absolutely beautiful and the (Calligraphy package) is s clean and nice the detailing is very nice. I would be looking at the Limited addition and the Calligraphy addition.
I loved my Sante Fe... but decided I needed a smaller car to save gas. I did have the bench seat in the middle to put my Yorkers bed. Go for the Santa Fe.
Yorkie's now drive a Kua Soul and love it
that Telluride with the Peanut-butter interior is my dream SUV choice car
Toyota all the way. I think you would love the Rav4 or Highlander. The full panoramic sunroof is a game changer (especially in Florida). They also have hybrid versions. I hope you love them as much as we do!
Love the Honda pilots, had a 2013 for 6 years and now just got a 2020
Love Hondas, Friend loves Subaru. We have both had good experiences.
I'm thank you guys are going to pick just the one for you.😊❤
Happy Thursday Jared, Britt & Finley. 🐕🐕
Oh the joys of buying a car hey? 😉😅
On the Tesla. It's great that thinkers came up with the electric capability. 👍 But, where I live. The infastructure is no where near ready for good usage IMO. So it would be a HUGE nope for myself and the hubby. And I don't have a place to plug it in to charge. Do you guys have a charger system in the building? 🤔
I think the first question you have to answer is lease or own. And then make the decision on which vehicle. You two will make the right decision. Of that I'm sure. 😃
I hope you're not getting too bad of weather there today in Ft. Lauderdale. 🤞🤞
I just bought a Volkswagen Tao. I love it.
We have the VW tiguan and love it. It drives nice, kids love the sun roof since it's full front and back. Gas milage is not terrible le and they have been amazing to work with.The are more expensive to fix an oil change in MN at the dealership is $100.
I had a hyundai salafey years ago and to let you know, but it costs more to fix, but you don't have to fix them that often i really love my Hyundai Santa Fe. I have now a nissan rogue sport
I LOVE the look of that Santa Fe the white one but….. my Mom had 2 Santa Fe and both of them broke down CONSTANTLY……. Constantly. I would take that into consideration even though it’s beautiful.
Love my Toyota Rav4!!! So reliable!! I have a bright blue one and I absolutely love it! Toyota all the way!
between Britts style and Jared's tech knowledge I'm sure they'll pick the perfect vehicle. Fun to watch 🙂
Santa Fe love it and comfortable I’m with Jared
We love our Toyota Sequoia. It has 280,000 miles and still going strong. We bought it at 213,000 2006.
It took me long time find perfect car just for me found one I do payments its worth at the end u have something nice to drive
I’ve been shopping for SUV’s for months. I have a Toyota Highlander and have had it for years. Love it but I want. Smaller one now. But I’ve found Toyota’s don’t have all the tech that Kia’s and Hyundai’s do. I’m probably going to buy the Hyundai Tucson hybrid 2025 model when it gets to the dealers. My daughter bought a Santa Fe when she went to college when they first came out. She loved it.
European cars have really high maintenance in comparison. If you are planning to get one, I would go with either the Volvo or Volkswagen. Of the ones I've seen you test drive, I would go with the Telluride. The interior of the Santa Fe was nicer looking.
I personally would get the Telluride since the Santa Fe has an unreliable transmission (unless they get the hybrid).
Make sure that they have a place that can fix it. We ran into that problem in Oregon and my niece that has a Volkswagen have to go to Spokane for Montana to get her fixed.
Santa Fe is beautiful!
I just realize that I'm more and more like Jared. Yes, Santa Fe all the way. The Telluride was too old. Yes, it does look somewhat tougher but the looks giving me an old vibe. Jared, if you get Santa Fe, make sure to get the HEV or PHEV engine. Even if you don't care about the environment, the boost of the electric motor and ICE engine will feel like you have bigger engine. The slow speed drive will also feel more relaxing because it's on electric. The best of all, no matter how bad you want to drive it. It will always give you a high gas mileage, even the city drive will give you better mileage than highway drive.
I don't envy your deciding between all those options! I know you will make the financially responsible choice.
I LOVED my Volkswagens!! I had a Jetta and a Tiguan, both were the best cars I’ve ever drove in terms of acceleration, smooth ride, comfort, and practicality. If you take car of the car and get regular oil changes and maintenance, they are great, reliable, safe cars and so fun to drive. I was also in a bad car accident in my Jetta and I walked away without any injuries.
If you don’t care about the driving experience or comfort, Toyota is always in the highest for safety ratings. I had a Corolla and my bf has a Tacoma and both are the most uncomfortable, crammed vehicles I’ve sat in and the pickup is terrible.
I leased mine at first, then when the lease was up, I bought it! 🥰
