THoughts on new Kia SUVs?

I have a Mazda 3, and I rented a CX-5 for a long road trip. I loved them both.
I think the Mazda 3 might just be a little too small for our family of 4 so I'm leaning towards the cx3. Thanks for responding.

I like the way the Tellurides look, kinda like a cross between a Cherokee and a Range Rover, if you squint

Recently bought one of these for my son and his wife and my two grandchildren. My kid drives a Dodge Ram but mom was tooling around in
a little Honda CRV, not safe enough IMO.
She loves it so far, price was pretty good and I feel better about them coming home from TJ's in it.
 
This is it right here. Lol at buying a Kia.

From the small SUVs, Rav4 is probably the best but not very sexy at all. The new CRVs are nice.

Geez that ain't droppin drawers unless it's from food poisoning.
 
I like vehicles with resale value that don’t have a recent history of massive reliability issues and theft personally.

Buy a Honda, Toyota or even a Mazda and be done with it.

TS specifically said she's not interested in something really sexy.

Having said that, no SUV drops drawers, imo. Not even a BMW, Land Rover, Porsche
 
Mazda all the way IF you'll be carrying extra weight for work purposes and are looking at midsize suvs. They do NOT use a CVT but rather a a six speed transmission. Way more reliable. Mazda gets slept on harcore but for performance, interior quality, reliability - they are by far and away best in class. The one trade off that may be a hindrance for you is that they dont utilize cargo space as well as ford / Toyota or Honda.


Heavily recommend the Mazda Cx 50 or 90 over the Honda Crv (and I'm a massive Honda mark) or the Toyota Rav 4 - and absolutely over anything with a time bomb tranny (kia, Hyundai or god forbid, Nissan)
 
the black Matte Santa fe looks good, but I wouldn't trust it
