which Suv option would be the best under $40k? My family owns 3 hondas, all accords and now my elder sister is considering buying a SUV next year. Was thinking Honda Pilot, maybe MDX, Pathfinder, Higlander...etc. what do you guys personally recommend for overall dependability, performance, safety, and longevity? all reponses appreciated. thanx.

 

i'd say the CR-V... they are the most dependable honda ever...

 

My dad has an 04 Honda Pilot... go test drive them and see what you like.

 

tell her to get the new rav4 with the v6, it is wicked fast, pretty big, and in her price range.

 

i tried to build & price on on toyota's website and they only had 4 cyl models avail - $20-26k if you add up the option packages along the model lines...they didn't even have v6 listed so you are talking the price of a pilot for the v6 rav4

 

i'm trying to get on edmunds to price it there... what does she want... 4wd?
does she want the hill decent control....

the new rav 4 is supposed to be nearly as big if not as big as the highlander.

 

mrsp $26,890
invoice $24,271
what others are paying in VA$25,536

for v6 automatic loaded up 4wd, the works as edmunds has it now
