What is the best compact SUV?
I’ve been looking for a new vehicle for a couple months now and can’t find my “perfect” vehicle. I’m wanting to upgrade to a slightly bigger vehicle (currently drive ‘23 Hyundai Elantra).
Things I’m looking for:
- A vehicle with more space than my elantra.
- Something I would be comfortable driving daily.
- Something I can take on road trips and also the occasional off roads while going camping with family (took my elantra once, horrible experience).
- Something with nice “tech”. (By tech I mean like 360 camera, HUD, safety features).
- Would love ventilated seats and heated steering wheel but not a deal breaker.
- Something relatively reliable (though thats a hot topic)
- Something that is “fun” to drive and not too boring (not looking for a racecar, just something with a little power)
I know thats a lot but I feel like there has to be something with at least most of these.
I was looking at the Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness and the Mazda CX-50 Meridian edition but the crosstrek doesn’t really have much in terms of tech and the Mazda’s knob for the infotainment screen seems hard to use. Any other suggestions or does anyone have these and think they would work for me?
Stuff about myself: 24, M. Not married, no kids. 30 min commute to work and city.
Budget 30-40k
Happy to answer any questions
