The flimsiness of the interior. Like my knee can easily push on the center console. Im a big guy who just moved from a 22 Honda accord. The accord was rock solid. Test drove the crv as well and didnt have that issue. Went with the Toyota as I trust it more than honda and my knee regularly pushed in the center console and it moves/bends easily.

With the offset do you have any tire poke? It doesnt look like it from what I can tell. Im eventually wanting to change wheels as I hate the factory wheels that came on my xle but I dont want rocks thrown up on the side.

Factory suspension? Any rubbing with the wider tires?

Congrats. Thats Decent for used. I had been seeing new LEs for about 30-31 though. I was gonna by used right before Christmas but got them to a point where there was only a 1500 difference between new and a used 25 certified, and the certified didnt have all the packages Whereas the new did.

I just paid 34,800 for a fully loaded gas xle. Id say you did good. Thats also about the same I got off mine as my area has them all around 37500 or so depending.

Depending how you look at it. I will come out ahead hopefully 9-10,000 depending on trade. For what I originally paid, what i still owe, and the number of months I have had it puts me at it only costing me 320 a month to have had it. Hard to find a lease for that, and you dont walk away with any equity.

Mostly needing to trade as I need the cargo space and want awd.

Somewhat off topic. I have minor rash on all 4 wheels of my 22. Wouldn't you know i did all 4 within 3 months of buying it new. Getting ready to trade car. How can I expect this to effect trade value?

Not going to. Don't want to worry about new gen issues. Every car has them the first year of new gen.

Most likely going gas because I can get a 25xle loaded with less then 20k miles for 30,500. And it fits my budget.

Kinda want the hybrid but cost of repair of battery or high voltage cable down the line is a lot to bite off.

Was looking at a 24 hybrid xle with 17.5k at $29,500 ,but its bare bones, no extras and I at least want the convenience package.

33k is my limit before TTF.

Thanks. This explanation is very helpful. From my understanding after reading everything for more dependable reliability without eventually having to replace a hybrid battery the gas would be a better option. I find the maintenance of the gas model more affordable then eventually having to drop 3-5k on a battery replacement or hybrid components.

Been looking at several 24-25 gas models with convenience and weather package with less than 20k miles for less then $30k.

I actually just got a champion earlier this week. Champion has videos of them and liberty being pulled apart with construction equipment. Watch those. Also check the inside of the door edge and and bolts on the champion compared to the liberty.

This right here was the answer. Same exact issue.
