I have heard some people say that when there KIA went into the service department, it took a long time to get parts. I have been inside the Telluride and the Palisade. It looks nice and when you go up in the trim it does get pricier, but one thing I noticed is that with both vehicles the interior seems not solid. There's a lot of plastic feel to these vehicles inside. I was in the Acura MDX and it is solid sounding even when you close the door. I have owned an Acura before got tboned on the passenger side and the car did it's job. It was totaled instead of me getting hurt. They are a bit pricey but do your research before you invest in any SUV.
I am looking to buy a new SUV in 2024 for my wife and I am having a slightly difficult time choosing between them. My current favorites are the Mazda CX-5 or CX-50, the Toyota Highlander or Grand Highlander, or something else similar. ... What I want is the part that makes my decision difficult. #1 Reliable, dependable and able to buy it for $40k or less, prefer less #2 Power and Heated seats for driver and passenger, maybe some lumbar support too #3 Naturally aspirated motor is preferred #4 Comfortable and Quiet in the cabin #5 A standard 6-sp, 8-sp, 10-sp transmission preferred, no DCT, but I might consider a hybrid eCVT #6 Three row seating is not needed but would be okay #7 No Electric Vehicles Can you help possibly??
@@annieb1011NE I have not looked at one yet. I feel almost sure that I would like the vehicle but I am somewhat leary about getting the new technology from Mazda yet. And the price may be more than I am willing to pay. My wife is leaning towards the Honda Pilot and the car will be for her to drive daily.
@@t.k.morrisI have a test drive spreadsheet: Honda Trailsport; Toyota 4Runner 5th Gen only; Mazda CX90; No hybrid; No EV’s; 6 cylinder -no 4-bangers. Any other models I should put on my spreadsheet?
Grand highlander rides like rocking boat.

@@annieb1011NE Not that comes to my mind.
These are all Godzilla sized cars!! How about some suggestions for good mid-sized wheels?
Mazda please stay away from these turbo engines 😢
Why?
Toyota uses a turbo v8 4 cylinder? Huh?
I am looking for small suv maybe next time
I hate 4 cylinder turbos .
