I am looking for a new car for my GF.
She wants a largerish utilitarian vehicle, like RAV4 or CRV.
I am putting my foot down and not going to let her buy anything newer than 2015.
Budget is $15-20k
I'm not going to convince her to buy a truck or a wagon, or anything sporty or unique like an Element or a mint 20 year old car.
She grew up with Toyotas so that's what she wants.
We need a car comfy enough to road trip in, have room for a dog, and not anything modern with touch screens or other nanny bullshit.
I would like her to get a Lexus 3rd gen RX350. Thoughts on this car? What should I know? What years to avoid?

Proace minivan or shut the fuck and get the hell out of here faggot. Pathetic cucks like you who enable this SUV craze can die in a ditch.

>>28522053
get with the times old man, almost everyone has an SUV these days, and there are literally 2 manufacturers left that still make minivans, and I am not getting a fucking Chrysler.
No one makes wagons anymore other than the luxury market, and I am not going to recommend her a fucking BMW or Merc.
Honda Fit is too small.
Honda Element is too old
No suitable wagons on the market
We dont need a fucking minivan

Make up your mind you cocksucking bitch. And spare me the attitude faggot, you spineless poodle can't even wear the pants in your own home.

Honda civic.

>>28522086
I cant imagine how much you hate yourself with that much projection spewing out from you.
Why dont you go touch grass. It will help relax your nerves, step away from the chans, its not doing you any good.

>>28522118
Lmao two lines of bullshit and you still haven't adressed my point: if you're in the market for a pre-2015 practical vehicle the last minivans are the best choice. If you're in the market for a new vehicle you're either not OP or LARPing for attention.

>>28522069
Just have her get a Corolla or something faggot, bitch doesn't need an SUV and won't know how to drive it anyway (making extremely wide turns, not parking correctly, braking on very mild turns, etc). Women should drive cute little cars and not big hunks.

Lol. You're such a dumb faggot swallowing memes.

>>28522202
there are literally 3 models.
toyota
honda
chrysler
maybe she'll be into the toyota, but so far, not interested in minivans and i would rather get a small 4 door truck or maybe a highlander in that case.
>>28522113
>>28522210
not big or comfy enough for road trips with dogs.
i already have a small car, she doesnt want a small car.
woman logic.
>>28522279
i dont want to deal with modern car bullshit like ASS or plastic thermostat housings.
whatever year they started including that is my cut off year.
also newer cars are going to exceed the 20k limit.
i would rather buy a 2012 car for $12k, and dump $6k into replacing all consumable parts and doing all the maintenance work on it.

>>28522313
Stop sperging about muh modern cars. It's dumb and gay. Just buy the nicest, newest hybrid SUV you can find under $20k with less than 100k miles.

>>28522313
>maybe she'll be into the toyota, but so far, not interested in minivans and i would rather get a small 4 door truck or maybe a highlander in that case
I don't care anymore please just never ever post on this board again. Just go live the remainder of your shitty cuck life somewhere else.

>>28522326
hey, that's one that I was looking at, i saw one for $17k with 109k miles.
>>28522334
stop projecting

if you are buying a gift to your gf why do you need to put your foot down

Nothing wrong with dogs unless they're being used as surrogate children because that's pathetic.

>>28522044 (OP)
>RX350
That is the perfect girl car lol

>>28522044 (OP)
Crosstrek

>>28522044 (OP)
>3rd gen rx350
yea bro get it. they sometimes have leaks on the front timing cover which results in dropping the engine to fix it. but it's usually so small it does not fucking matter.

>>28522044 (OP)
She'll love it. you'll discreetly love it but keep it secret so trugg brains won't harass you.

>>28522069
Ignore the /o/ troll. All they do is harrass SUV and ute threads.

>>28522598
Wow, you must be a real /o/ auto enthusiast! I too am enthusiastic about cars, particularly SUV's. They're just SO HIGH UP and SO SMOOTHE. They make me feel SO SAFE since I get to sit SO HIGH UP. I also really enjoy the high center of gravity, and other benefits such as being able to haul SO MUCH SHIT (3 whole watermelons, try fitting that in a sedan!)

Wow!

>>28522326
Imagine living in Austin

>>28522598
>and ute threads
Nah, utes are a weird australian thing, they're cool. And are actually of reasonable size, making them usable for work. Kinda like pic related without the sportiness.

>>28522044 (OP)
You sound obnoxious just from this little paragraph.

SUVs do not really even have significantly more space than a sedan, they're just high up.
You're driving a glorified high chair.

>>28522706
Australians refer to all "pickup trucks" as utes.

>>28522044 (OP)
>3rd gen RX350.

Good car. You could even get a Toyota Sienna if you want pure utility and don't care about looking like a soccer mom.

if it's just for your girlfriend fuck off with that,and understand she dosen't give A FUCK about cars to her it's the same as buying a toaster.
If it's for both of you tell her to shut up and be the man of the relationship and get whatever you want and that suits both of your needs
