Sorento. In-laws bought a fwd on in 2016 for $26k. A nice used cpo should be well within your budget by now. Same chassis/engine as the sante fe

Good suggestions so far, thanks. We're going to check out a few of them. Is the Sorrento V6 reliable?

LOL, she might not appreciate that. I probably could've worded that better in the thread title.

Oops on the color.

The Buick Encore is what my wife went with. We looked at a bunch of CUVs, but the Buick offered the most features and amenities for our budget...including heated seats and steering wheel. They are small enough to be easy to manage daily, but have decent room inside for our family of 4. Mileage is great and we have had about 60,000 miles of trouble-free service so far.  Buick sold 93,073 of them in 2018 so they are easy to find on CarMax-type lots. (for reference, Toyota sold 427,170 RAV-4s LOL)

Color is perfect. How reliable are modern Volvo's?

We have a 2012  6 cylinder NA that just turned 100K.  Absolutely no drama at all.  Tires & brake pads.  About due for the timing belt now...

That drivetrain is in all of their larger vehicles. In-laws have 100k on theirs now with one set of tires and oil changes every 7k miles. Plus buying cpo gets you factory warrantyat least to60k
