I am orienting toward looking at acquiring fairly new pre-owned compact SUV. The question is what maker and model?

Hyundai Kona is a nice choice.
Thank you, for the suggestion. It looks nice. Will look into it.
I enjoyed my 2019 before I moved to Australia and back. It was perfect for my needs.
Sweet. Would you say it's big enough for the occasional car camping? Or escape from apocalypse car camping?
It's a micro-SUV, so it's bigger than what many use, but smaller than a full size. It really depends on your tolerance for headspace. I say, go check one out. Many are happy with Subaru conversions, but it's an individual thing. I really enjoyed it.
I was looking at an impreza my friend was selling this summer... Ultimately decided it was too small.. and I wouldn't car camp in it should I want or need to. But Subaru has definitely been making notice in my awareness.
I just got a Kia Sorento. I can recommend. If possible 2024 as it got a nice facelift. Where I live they have v6 trim not the turbo ones like in the US.
The first choice was Honda CR-V, I eben made a non refundable booking. But after test driving both I didn't hesitate to move to the Kia.
Mazda CX-5/3 are good bets. Good deals on used Mitsubishi Outlander PHEVs. Reliable and cheap to run but handles like a pig.
We enjoy VW Tiguan. Might not be SUV “enough” tho
We like VW Tiguan. Maybe not suv “enough “ tho?
Some predict an auto industry crash in 2025. May save a boatload if your patient.
But then again it may no happen
I am looking into mid Jan since I have a vehicle till then. another may pop up too. What time we taking in 2025? Cultivating deeper patience is certainly a focus at present. What should I be looking for indicating this crash?
You can’t go wrong with Honda or Toyota. The HRV is a nice subSUV
nostr:npub15879mltlln6k8jy32k6xvagmtqx3zhsndchcey8gjyectwldk88sq5kv0n has interesting things to say about this topic.
His underlying point is that there is a massive overstock of innovatory and more production is still in effect.
With all these brand new vehicles not moving and sitting on lots, as well as companies functioning at a near loss. There’s going to be a break sooner or later.
Time line ..? I donno. I can’t predict the future. Buy a vehicle when it’s right for you.
Knowledge is power! Use it how it benefits you.
