I'm getting a new (used) car and want a small SUV. Any reason to look beyond cr-v?

The CR-V is the Sketchers of small SUVs

Get one and any respect I have for you will go away

Had my eye on an orange 2025 BMW X1 with 7,200 miles and being used as a loaner for a dealership for $37K. Minus my 2020 trade in and I’d be looking at $23K out the door

Some people don’t like the CVT transmission, but other than that, it’s got some of the best AWD, decent on mileage, and is roomy enough for the size.

For example, there's a Craftsmen style home. On one side is a 1790s colonial that's been added on, on the other is a 4000 SF McMansion. Not something midwesterners are familiar with. My own is a three year old modern ranch.

I will probably test drive the Toyota to see what I think. I previously had a cr-v for several years and loved it.

I don't really do Japanese cars, but the neighbor just got a 2026 CR-V hybrid

...and it's a good looking car. I know it's personal preference, but a lot better than the Corolla Cross.

Now if someone wanted to gift me a new 4Runner, that I might consider.

"Speak for yourself in life. And don’t be a follower of people like Tiki because you think it makes you look cool. It really doesn’t."

I'm struggling with Toyota right now...a 4Runner shouldn't have a turbo 4 cylinder.

Yes, that's pretty much it. No wrong choices, comes down to personal preference.

Corolla Cross hybrid is my next little traveling car after the Prius finally expires from metal fatigue. Also, it's made in Alabama so pretty much exempt from tariffs.
