Aren't Wranglers basically the worst vehicle on the road?
More of a loud, slow, uncomfortable fun..
I liked my Jeep. Surprisingly entertaining and a hoot to bomb around in.
It’s just not ideal for every situation (nor is any vehicle)

Lots of good replies so far, thanks! The tow requirement can be ignored, as it's been pointed out, I'm keeping the truck and I doubt I'll ever be in a situation I can't find one to tow if mine breaks down.
Looks interesting, hadn't considered a Mazda, but I'll look at them more.
Have never actually seen a GLA45 in person. Is the size comparable to the Q5?
I like the styling of the Trailhawk, but an Overland would certainly meet the interior finish requirements.
How was the interior on the Q5? Acceleration? I'm really, really looking to avoid anything large so I can fit into my garage easily.
Looks pretty nice, but seems a bit big.
Definitely going to add this to the test drive list.
I liked my old Jeep, the problem was that I enjoyed modifying it as well. With a Wrangler I would be six months into ownership, down $15k in mods and half my warranty voided.
So far I think the test drive list is:
- Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland
- Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk
- Mazda CX-5
- Acura MDX
What are everyone's thoughts on the Lexus RX350?
@Darkane , without the towing, what would your list look like?
I was cross shopping the mdx and rx350 a bit (purely over the internet) and the mdx seemed hands down better. I know the internet can only do so much, but we ended up getting a few year old one and it is the most comfortable thing I've ever been in (not saying much) apparently the sh-awd is great too

Car could be anything now that towing is no longer needed.
Stinger comes to mind.
I don’t necessarily have a list. Most everything has been mentioned.
We originally wanted the captain's chairs too, but didn't find one on our timeline. I have also been told by people who have second row captain's that they regret it. I would still take them if given the option. As for rear cargo with the 3rd row up, there isn't much. There is tons with them down, but you can't plan to take much with you if you use the 3rd row. With only one of the 3rd row up, it's manageable though.
I guess partly related, does anyone know how flexible Acura is on their pricing? Are they in high enough demand that they’ll be basically sticking to MSRP minus manufacturer rebates? Do they typically have better offers moving into October/November?
I like the GLA 250 car2gos... the 45 would be a great year round daily if you still have the truck for moving more crap and towing
+ for Q5 if you can drop the towing requirement. We have a 2013 currently, but also had a 2019 for a week as a loaner and we were still pretty impressed with it.
Try and find a CPO 2017/2018... should be close to 40k vs 65k+ brand new. Could even get into a used SQ5 for 60k i think.
Decided on the first batch to test drive.
Going to try out the Q5, RDX, MDX, Grand Cherokee Overland and Grand Cherokee Trailhawk this weekend. Next weekend will be the GLC300, X3 and maybe look at an RX series Lexus, but their pricing seems way more than what I want to spend.
Any Acura dealers to use or avoid?
