Venza vs RDX vs GLK

[Gorilla]

So were in the market for a cross over and were considering the following.

Venza vs RDX vs GLK

which one would you buy?

Venza reminds me too much of a station wagon, then again they all do.

RDX tons of technology, looks kinda small and dont know about repairs fi turbo goes

GLK nice, you can get a good price from the states high maintance costs.

if the RDX is too small, move up to the MDX.

I kinda like the Venza :dunno:

The others mentioned do not tickle my fancy.

i was looking into the GLK, RX350 and MDX but in the end i bought a Audi Q5 and i am extremly happy with it :thumbsup:
I didnt look at the venza because it's a station wagon

[Xtrema]

Isn't there a huge roadblock to get MBs from the states?

I actually quite like the new FX37.

AWD system wise, you really can't beat Acura's SH-AWD. The only other torque vectoring AWD crossover is on the X5M/X6M.

Why are wagons bad?

Something like a loaded Jetta wagon TDI would be way more fuel efficient and wouldn't give up too much interior space to any of those crossovers, other than Venza maybe.

I voted Venza since it has decent room and utility and will be the most economical to operate. RDX isn't roomy at all and it's a thirsty little ute. With the GLK you end up paying too much for an average CUV.

Out of that list, GLK.

Or cts wagon,make no mistake,the caddys are very competitive,i know a few ex Acura owners that love thier new caddys.

Audi q5 or volvo xc60

Audi Q5 or Subie Outback. The Venza gets roasted in every review I have read when compared to the Honda Crosstour, and I am not crazy about the Honda so the Toyota would be a no go.

I'd buy a wagon over a crossover or SUV any day. FYI, it's the Golf wagon now, not the Jetta wagon.

Driven the GLK (rides like a lifted C-class because thats what it is)

Q5 could be a raised A4 for all I know...drive em both.

Saving money? Dodge Journey is the best seller of them all for a reason. Just sayin'.

I ended up buying an RDX last year because the dealership was doing substantial cash back, so a Tech RDX ended up costing me 10 grand less than the Q5 with similar options.
The GLK with slight upgrades that you'd think would be standard on a benz brought it over 50K, and maintenance costs are a bit higher.
I haven't had any problems with the RDX so far. I would have preferred a V6 over the 4 cylinder turbo, but the money I saved compared to everything else (EX35, Q5, GLK 350) made it a no brainer. SH-AWD did great all winter!

Infinti Fx45 or Audi Q5

I say the newer style honda pilots. I love them!!!
Seats 8, and has car like gas mileage:thumbsup:
I love my honda pilot. I want to get a brand new one soon.

[jwslam]

ZDX anyone? Haha.
I kinda like the styling as opposed to everyone.
However, I would assume rear visibility to be similar to a crosstour which is a big nono.
