Buick really rips when you go up the trim ladder though.
Like $14K to go up one wrung- nuts- does look nice and I have looked at these several years ago
Not many on the lots
4wd
$50 site donor 2026
I have owned them for decades … no AC ever failed (Texas) …
last one traded was Cruze at 145k and AC was blowing cold …
Our Tahoe does not have an AC … more like an HVAC system
Last AC problem was 2015 Explorer leaked refrigerant
Seems like it's perfect for twinkies.

And now and laters..bon bons..snickers. Heath bars and a big gulp
Buicks are very nice, cost more than Lincolns. I had a lot of AC troubles in GM products too, however that was many years ago.

I had one go out on a 2007 CR-V.
I'm also in the market for a new car. Some of my priorities differ from yours but there is also some overlap. At this point I have it narrowed down to a Subaru Outback, probably an XT, or a Honda Passport. I want a modicum of off-road/dirt road capability and those two fit that bill well. Subaru has a proven AWD system. The Passport has a very good system and a solid, well proven NA engine. Gas mileage isn't great though.Both of these are really nice for long road trips.
The Outback has a much more comfortable ride than the Forester or Crosstrek. My son and I test drove all 3 and the Outback was definitely the best. He bought a 2020 Premium model which has the 2.5 NA engine and the power isn't impressive but it's adequate. He loves it, but he's a diehard Subaru guy. They also have 0% interest if you plan to finance.
If I were you I would list the things you mentioned in your first post in order of priority or give them a rating based on their importance to you. That might make it a little easier to narrow it down. Good luck.

Thank you and good luck to you as well.
I really can't decipher the modern Subaru
I agree on the Outback and the prices are good
What do you think about reliability of the Outback today- not years past?
