Question

My moms car was stolen about a month ago, hasnt been recovered. So shes in the market for a new/used car.

What car would you get with 25-28k, both new and used. She would prefer a SUV but will consider sedans. 2004+ models.

I been looking at used Volvo XC90, new 4 runner, used BMW X5, used Escalade, used VW tourage.

The Touareg is an excellent vehicle. Rock solid, great ride, very nicely appointed interior and I think it's simply stylish. Same could be said about the X5, though there isn't quite as much room.

The XC90 is a good bet too...solid build and very good execution of passenger space.

Don't get an Escalade unless you're willing to deal with the gas bill.

Of course...the 4Runner isn't bad at all either...but I'd like to injure the person who put the fuel-door release under the steering wheel. It's a Toyota...endless reliability, and again, not a bad looking vehicle. I found the seating position to be really odd though. It's an SUV, yet the seats sit low. That doesn't justify the "S" of SUV.

Personally, I'd go for the Touareg...I love its interior. The 4Runner is a great one though.
