Re: Car buying

I've read bad things about the Atlas' reliability, and wasn't impressed during my test drive.


Are you looking for on-road, or do you go off road and want an SUV with offroad abilities?

High MPG? 2WD or AWD/4WD? How many people are you using it for, and what's your budget?


A bit of info about what you're looking for will help.




But without your feedback:

If you want super reliability at the expense of mpg and racecar handling, get a Toyota 4Runner. It's also a very good choice for off road. I had a 2015 and wished I'd kept it. We test drove a new one recently, and also the Highlander, the interior of the Highlander was...funky and not comfortable the way the top of the windshield seemed to close you in.



If you will be always on road, take a look at Acura RDX or MDX. You'll be surprised how nicely they drive. (I may be biased, we just got an MDX last week)

Re: Car buying

I also heard nothing too good about Atlas' reliability. So, really is better to choose another variant.

Re: Car buying

Hello! Choose only those models from our offers that can be repaired! In addition to price, you should consider two selection criteria: the appropriate year of manufacture and mileage. It's also helpful to decide in advance on the transmission type—manual or automatic—and select a suitable engine. To do this, read reviews and test drive the model you're interested in. Also, consider how much the engine can be upgraded. For example, I bought a diesel delete kit from the SuncentAuto official store. I also installed a DPF and EGR valve removal kit for my Cummins engine.
