Would you buy your current car again?

Would you buy your current car again, knowing what you know about your car? Get different features, less features, different color, etc., or never get that car again.

I just got a Ram truck, and I love this thing! I would absolutely buy another one. I've had it for about 2 months or so, and I don't think I would change much about it.

It's a dark maroon color, which looks really nice, especially in the sunlight.

Re: Would you buy your current car again?

Well it's hard to say because my current car is a 2006 Pontiac so 1- they don't make Pontiacs anymore and 2- the features (which were very top of the line at the time and I got it fully loaded) are woefully outdated.

So it's hard to really answer that!

But I wills say this- I have had that car for just over 12 years now (got it in Dec of 05), I only have about 90K miles on it (I don't drive much) and I have never had one problem with it.
It's old now and it is still running like the day I got it. Tons of power, starts right up, the only work we ever had to do was routine maintenance and things that go naturally from wear and tear.

So I can say I was very very happy with the reliability of Pontiac as a car. Shame they are gone now.

Yes- we have a 2003 Honda Accord with over 230K on it- it's my DH car now it goes to brooklyn every day- no major issues

I have a 2018 Pilot and I really do love it- I went nuts and got the leather which was a big splurge for me and I do really like it

I love my car - 2016 Subaru Outback. I love the size or the car. It has lots of room, but doesn't feel like a big car. It's higher off the ground than a sedan, but it's not tall like an SUV. No problems after two years, and I cannot wait until its paid off. I hope it lasts me at least 10 years.

2006 honda accord.

leather, heated seats... YES, MA'AM!! i will never go back to not having heated seats. and i live in southern california lol. these would be amazing if i had to deal with a real winter.

honestly, i will not buy another honda accord. i do really like this car, but i miss having my small suv. i preferred the space and being able to chuck everything in the back.

Re: Would you buy your current car again?

I have an ‘06 Jeep Grand Cherokee v8 limited. I bought it used in ‘09 and it had every option.

I LOVE my Jeep. When this one finally goes, I’d love to get the same exact thing but I’ll be taking over DHs Durango when it’s paid off (we like to keep it at one car payment) but if I had a choice - I’d get my Jeep again. I really love it

DH leases and is now on his 3rd Cadillac crossover.
Started out as the SRX and is now called the XT5.
We love it, fits the two of us perfectly and is comfortable to drive.

Absolutely!! In fact, my lease is up in March and I REALLLLLLLLY don't want to give my SUV back!!! I have the Toyota Highlander Limited AWD. It's an AMAZING SUV, I love everything about it! I might actually lease another one!

Would you buy your current car again?

I lease a Mercedes CLA250. Mercedes had to replace the whole car after a few months because the sunroof wouldn’t close. Picked up new car and it does the same thing. Prior to this car I owned 5 different BMW products, this was my first Mercedes. I wouldn’t buy a Cla250 again but am considering another Mercedes (in addition to a BMW and some
Other models) when my lease is up purely based on the way Mercedes handled the whole situation (ie they were very accommodating).

Re: Would you buy your current car again?

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 always heard about how safe Subarus are in crashes. I guess they weren't kidding!

2012 Dodge Durango that I bought used. I love it. It's a little quirky but I am used to it and the only thing I would change is color. I have black only because I could not find a white one with everything I wanted. So if I could find the perfect white one, I would buy it in a minute.

Our Honda pilot, yes, we are very happy with it.
Our Mazda 6, nope, it developed an expensive wiring issue that causes the alarm to go off at all hours, among other annoying problems.

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 drive a 2014 BMW X3. I am considering getting a new one. No complaints other than repairs are pretty expensive.

I have a 2016 Ram 1500 that I leased, unsure of whether it would really work as a family car. I am so in love with this truck and so are my girls! When my lease is up, I will buy a 2019 outright. Love love love it!

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.

I have a value package dodge caravan and as basic and nerdy as it is, I would totally get another. You can't beat the space and the price. We've had it for 4 years now and knock on wood but we've had zero issues aside from needing new tires this winter.
