OMG.. Yes. You guys are reminding me of my list because I forgot I saw an HRV in my neighborhood recently and added it to my list after looking it up. There just don't seem to be as many available in my area (used anyway) so I kinda forget about it. I don't mean to turn this into a car thread, but why nix the rav4? I've only heard good things. Oh yeah, I think they’ve only been out for 2 years, so probably not many second hand yet. Us honda people keep our cars for decades. I’m probably being unfair to the Rav 4, but I’ve just never enjoyed any I’ve driven. It’s been a few years but I used to get them as rental cars and always felt they were sluggish. I just think there is better in the class. I was just coming here to say how much I love RAV4 then read this and was like.....ya, it is kinda sluggish! I guess maybe a V6 model might be better but that kind of defeats the gas mileage goals.

What’s up with the VW hate? I have my eyes on a Touareg. Not sure if you're looking new or used but I don't think they're making the Touareg anymore. Either Tiguan or the new Atlas. Wow. So I do all of my searching on Car Gurus or something similar and it never even occurred to me that there was no 2018’s. I wouldn’t buy new but I also wouldn’t buy a discontinued car. Damn...

I love our VW Atlas so much.
It’s H’s car but I drove it a good amount due to all the snow this weekend and I’m sad to give it back to him.

Hello! We had the best day. I’m pretty sure I’m getting the house I looked at today. It’s so perfect.
We spent the afternoon at the park with friends.
I just opened a bottle of rosé and DS is watching a movie. 🥂

My aunt came over and saved the day! MH has been out of commission this weekend due to an injury and my kids were/are wearing me thin 😅 I’m so thankful my aunt loves my kids and she ordered pizza so I didn’t have to cook 🙌🏻

I laid DS down this afternoon with just a sippy cup, and he did ok. I’m going to attempt it for bed time. Think good thoughts.

I am so sick and so is SO. Dd was diagnosed with croup yesterday but she is feeling better today. Never have I’ve been more thankful for MIL to be here Than now. Kid is out of control with the steroid they prescribed her. I just woke up from a 5 hour nap. Feel slightly better but I’m heading to the doctor tomorrow.

I bought a new duvet cover and a new shelf that MH put up in my bathroom. I needed the shelf to accommodate my Sephora problem.

I hope you get it! It’s so perfect. It’s an adorable ranch with a 60s vibe and a huge yard. Completely updated, wired for surround sound, gas stove, covered patio, and floor to ceiling windows in the back. I’m in love. Also I’ll have a guest room again. Hint. 😉

This is ridiculous. It’s 48F and we’re suntanning and sweating outside. [img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180415/df6a0b45f937f9476bd2ff506c8fd558. ETA quote fail. Sorrey. I have been known to do this. I know that our altitude just makes it feel like you’re closer to the sun! I also sweat at anything over 65...at 80, I’m naked or in the lake.

My list other wise is Toyota Rav4, Nissan Rogue, Honda CRV, Toyota Prius (I don't really want this one but I feel like it would be a good choice for gas mileage), VW Golf, or VW Jetta When we car shopped between S1 and S2 we test drove ALL THE CARS and I can tell you the Rogue is lovely but the CR-V is just as lovely AND has way more space in the back seat

I am boring with cars, and also drive them into the ground (patting my nice little Saturn which is still going strong). First I call my mechanic on which cars are relatively economical to maintain and repair, and then check insurance rates. Then I go get my heart set on something within the parameters above.

I also had a bad VW experience but it was over a decade ago so a lot could have changed H isn't a fan because they are difficult to work on How often was he fixing stuff? My Chrysler LHS is firm with its hold as the biggest POS and PITA to work on that I have owned. He's a mechanic by trade so ease of home fixing informs our car buying decisions, since he does all the maintenance and repairs on our vehicles. Apparently everything in the engine of a VW is difficult to access without taking half the car apart.

You have to take the wheel and everything off.

@wasabi, I have a Jetta sportwagen and I LOVE it. I get excellent mileage, and it hauls a lot. And I haven’t found maintenance to be much more because it doesn’t require maintenance often. Thank you for saying something nice about VWs, lol. I was just about to nix them because for some reason this place always has negative reviews. But irl I don't hear much bad at all. I had 2 extremely unreliable VWs in my life, but if people love them, I love them for them.
