What brand would you go with in the mid range SUV's? I own Dodge Jouney atm and i will never own a dodge product till the day im off this earth. I am very interested in Santa Fe or Kia sorento. Must be AWD and 6 cyl for that extra towing power. Any opinions or experiences?

Avoid Hyundai and Kia at all costs. They are decent cars/SUVs but their maintenance costs are through the roof.
We pay 100 bucks for an Oil change in the wife's Hyundai Elantra. I pay 50 bucks for an Oil change for 8L of synthetic oil to GMC.
If i was buying a SUV it would be a Toyota Rav4. The in-laws have 2 of them - great vehicles.

you are going to the wrong place for oil changes...lol. Swiftys charges 54 dollars taxes in for a 3.5 litre engine. Legally, you do not do anything to your vehicle warranty by getting oil changes done outside of dealer.

95% of people driving SUV around here are assholes, but maybe it's an Italian thing?
oh, and the worst it's when the wife is driving, almost inevitably taking away the whole street

The hyundai has improved quite a bit over the years. I am still focused on the Kia sorento. I have driven it. Buddy of mine hauls lobster with his and it has tons of power and very reliable. he has 140k on his 2011.

I had a heater core blow in my A6 a few years ago. In a Ford or GMC that's a 90 dollar part and 100 bucks worth of labour. In the Audi it was like $1800 and took 2 weeks to fix haha.
