Another Ram 1500 owner Chat Icon Love my truck and just traded in for another. This time opted for the crew cab which offered more room.



I have the Quad Cab. I didn't want to give up the bed space for cab space, since I do use the full 6.5' bed often.

This is my DH's dream. He does a ton of home improvements and projects and is always hauling stuff home. And it's not easy his Infiniti QX50, I can tell you that!
If he really needs a lot of stuff he'll rent the HD truck, but he always fantasizes about having a nice big pick up truck!

We have a 2013 RAV4 and a 2017 Sienna... I'd buy both again. We like them a lot.

Re: Would you buy your current car again?

I have a 2011 Honda minivan. I wouldn’t buy a Honda again, going to try something else in a couple years, Honda service center by me is awful, I have had to replace the key sensors and door sensors 4 times in 2 years. I also had a random light come on and it took 5 tries for those idiots to get it done. Unfortunately, I only have 78k miles on it, so I’ll have it for awhile longer.

My DH has the 2016 Dodge Durango and absolutely loves it. He wishes he got the captain seats instead of the bench, but otherwise he loves it and would buy it again.

I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and love it, but it’s an older model. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the newer ones.

Well we just got a 2019 Cherokee and I want to live in it, so yes.

We had a 2006 Subaru Impreza but it was totaled a couple months ago. Bad accident, DH was very lucky to walk away from it. Would have gotten a Subaru again in a heartbeat, but ended up falling for the Jeep. It’s a lease so we could always go back to Subaru in a couple years. I truly love both of those cars.



I have had my Cherokee for 2 years. Still love it as much as the day I leased it.

I never have leased the same car 2x and I’m seriously thinking about it.

We just got a 2018 Kia Sorento. So far, I love it. It’s perfect for our growing family and the upgraded features are a big bonus. Prior to this, we had a 2014 Kia Soul, and had we not have 2 kids, we still would have it. Never had any issues with that car- we just outgrew it

Re: Would you buy your current car again?

I have a 2004 Peugeot convertible. They don’t make that version, I believe, anymore. It has about 70,000 miles and I haven’t had that many problems with it (screws needed to be changed on the wheels, and I can sense an electical problem).

That being said, I would get another Peugeot. They are affordable and I like them. My last car was a BMW, and I’d maybe like to go back to that someday. Those things last forever. Oh and don’t be fooled— it seems everyone has a BMW, Mercedes, VW here. They are really into their cars here.

If they still made it, definitely! I have a 2012 Acura TL and love it, but they "replaced" it with the TLX which I have had as a loaner car and do not like nearly as much



I had this car at one point and I loved it so much!

Now I have an Infiniti QX60 and yes I would definitely get it again. I'm hoping when my lease is up that the newer models have better technology then this one. It seems a little antiquated with their technology.

SO had one of these until january. i loved driving it and i loved being a passenger. it hauled EVERYTHING... boat, full trailer, etc. and it was easy to haul all those things. i would have never thought i would be driving down the freeway in a huge truck hauling a MF boat! but there i was!

SO wanted to try a diesel, so his new truck is a gmc, i don't recall the model. it's bigger and beefier. i haven't needed to drive it yet, so i don't have reviews about driving it... but as a passenger; it's NICE.

Do you find the navigation system in the Infiniti sucks?? Like sucks ass?

DH spent more money to upgrade for nav in his QX50 and we end up using his phone navigation or mine all the time because the nav it came with is so bad. Hard to put an address in , not user friendly and always always gets us lost or takes us wayyyy out of the way.
Nothing beats google maps.
If I end up getting an Infiniti for myself I am not even going to bother with the nav.
It's useless.

Would you buy your current car again?

We just leased a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Sterling Edition a few weeks ago. This will be our 3rd Jeep in 6 years. We love it. We were going to look at the New VW Atlas because of the 3rd row, but in the end we just love the way the Jeep drives and the features we can get. Very happy.

All the in car navigation's suck...its the nature of the beast. Unless you are having them updated every month, which most place don't offer anyway, they are never going to accurate. Waze and other maps update every second. When I got my new car last year I was dead set on navigation, until the dealer explained how it would never compare with Waze and was a total waste of money.

I hear Audi uses google maps though for their in car navigation system.
For that alone I'd buy an Audi. Chat Icon

It’s likely you are talking about using nav through CarPlay. I have it in my mercedes and prefer that Nav over the built in Nav (I can use either). I can search a location in Apple maps on my phone, plug the phone in the car and the navigation starts. Right now Car play won’t work with google maps (the android version does) but Apple just announced it soon will (car play is an Apple product).

We have a 2005 VW Jetta. She’s our commuter car. Once she dies I would never by VW again as the parts are expensive. Our Dodge Journey I love and we are on our 2nd.

I have a 2011 pilot and i really do like the car. Not sure if I am going to buy another one because I know they have changed it and I am not sure I like it.

My dream car is a surburban but that will not be my next car because they are way to $$$$

The parts are expensive, especially for the early 2000s. I had 2 VWs (The new bug and a GTI) and the electrical problems were massive. Luckily I leased and most things were covered. I think they have gotten better, though. VW and Audi are basically the same thing. VW was just involved in a diesel scandal, so prices may drop.
