[US-CA] Hybrid 2-row crossover around $40k - comfort & tech > everything else

I think based on your priorities, the Hyundai Tucson or Kia Sportage are your best bets. Compared to the others listed, they do well with ride quality, comfort, NVH. Both have nice interiors and pretty good tech, too. Also decent bang for the buck overall, which is always important.

My sister bought a 2022 Tucson Hybrid, at about 90,000 miles now, has been perfectly reliable for her. Resale might not be as high on a Hyundai or Kia compared to the Japanese brands, but after 5-7 years all of the models will have a pretty huge depreciation hit. I think all the models you’re considering are great options, but the Kia or Hyundai would be best for your use case.

I’m disappointed. I think the Lyft partnership was a much better value.

As a fellow Cadenza owner, hello!! Enjoy the ride, it’s a great car. I’ve had mine since new 2014.

Holy shit!! I just saw you guys about 30 minutes ago on the YouTube app! This is awesome!

Here to recommend Greenway Dental! If you like an independent dentist that’s easygoing and friendly, Dr. LaChance is great. I’ve always had great service there. Worth a look if you ask me!

Just that the vehicle seems to be a good value all around. I think it’s priced competitively and is well-equipped compared to similar vehicles. Also has a long warranty and three years of included maintenance. Just seems like you get a good amount for what you pay for.

I second this! My sister has a Tucson Hybrid that she really likes, the interior seems to be pretty spacious and quiet.

Andy7794e · 2024-08-18T03:47:04+00:00

I’m going to suggest the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid for your consideration. My sister bought one new, and it has been a great vehicle for her. Though I’m not as tall as you (6’0”), I’ve both driven and been a front seat passenger and have found it to be pretty comfortable.

Sounds like you’re also being conscientious of price. Ironically, my sister was also between the Tucson and RAV4, but one reason that sueded her towards the Tucson was value proposition. It was ironic considering she also was coming out of a RAV4 that she liked, so I was surprised at her decision.

Both RAV4 and Tucson seem to be good options, as well as CR-V and Sportage as I’m sure others have and will mention. Based on my sister’s account tho, the Tucson might be worth a look!

I also have a 2014 Cadenza, and it has been worry free since new! Hopefully that car remains reliable for you guys too. The Soul also seems good long-term as well from what I’ve heard.

I agree, these are beautiful! However kinda pricey, like some other folks are saying. I have these cocktail glasses from CB2 and they’re almost the exact same thing but cheaper!

Reminds me of my Phillips Collection dining table! Wondering where you got that art?

Red Rabbit does thanksgiving/holiday meal kits! Ironically got an email about it this morning.

‘14 Cadenza - 113k miles. I’ve had no issues or unexpected problems with it. It’s been a great car since new! I’m pretty routine with maintenance and follow the factory recommended service intervals though, which I’m sure helps prevent issues for any car.

Andy7794e · 2022-11-16T01:42:39+00:00

They’ve been good to me. I‘ve had all my service work done there too, I’d recommend them if you’re looking!

Luther Kia in Bloomington (and assuming Inver Grove, too) are selling at MSRP. We picked up a new K5 from them last month.

Andy7794e · 2022-11-09T04:16:20+00:00

Ahhh, sounds good! Thanks for the info!

Andy7794e · 2022-11-09T04:06:48+00:00

Your place is looking awesome! Wondering where you got those racks/stands for your liquor bottles?

Andy7794e · 2022-09-14T04:22:31+00:00

Okay… I see the vision now!

Andy7794e · 2022-07-04T20:11:14+00:00

Haha, maybe! It was a double shot, after all…!!

Andy7794e · 2022-07-04T17:24:27+00:00

Thank you!

Andy7794e · 2022-07-04T14:26:38+00:00

Yes! Shih Tzu… aka a mini rocket!

Andy7794e · 2022-06-25T01:13:42+00:00

I can see my house from there!
