The Santa Fe is a great answer, but I would steer clear of the XRT. The XRT is only available in the ICE powertrains and all the ICE ones have the wet dual clutch transmission that isn’t the most reliable. Go with the hybrid calligraphy in AWD and you can get those under 50k with some negotiation, otherwise you can…

Mom had a Pinto, Mustang II, Fairmont, Tempo and Tempo II....  I survived.

I have a 2-door bronco. 2 not 4. Child seats fit just fine. My 6'2" son fits just fine in the back.

Found a CPO CX90 Turbo S for under 40k with only 11k miles.  These are a great deal right now.  It makes the case difficult for a new one.

Wait a few months for the 2026 Honda Passport (release date early 2025)

Best buy in the Body on Frame Market.

Why do do make people think they need a dump truck-sized 4x4 just because they have a kid and occasionally buy groceries?

If someone is rejecting the current Bronco because it’s not child seat enough, the designers probably hit their actual target.

Funny how when I was a kid, a VW Rabbit was considered perfectly adequate family transportation for a couple with *A* kid, a dog, and some hobbies. And they didn’t cost $50K.

CPO CX-90 is a good choice. The requester doesn’t seem to REALLY want a hardcore offroader anyway, so for that budget the CX-90 is probably your best bet for a “fun to drive” SUV.

Bronco “look”s big, but it’s mostly just squared off. My 2-door is actually smaller than my Mustang.

“We need more space (us, kid, dog, and assorted life type stuff), want something that is FUN to drive, and has the ability to tow.”

A few years ago I drove through Western PA around this time of year and the sheer number of dead deer along the sides of the highways shocked me. And I’m from an an area with no shortage of deer or deer strikes. 

That’s my thought. Take video of the screen going out, the reversing noise, and keep bringing it back to the dealer to be fixed.

“He purchased a Volvo C40 Recharge EV but wanted to get rid of it after only a few months of ownership due to technical problems; the infotainment screen and backup camera would randomly cut out and the car would make a loud screeching noise when reversing.”

Someone should really offer some kind of insurance to cover the gap between what your car is worth and what you owe on it. They might even call it gap insurance.

She’s too busy suing to keep ballot initiatives to legalize pot or affirm abortion rights from actually getting to a vote, suing other states for not voting the way she likes, and helping organize violent mobs to stop Congress from counting electoral votes. She can’t be bothered with helping the people of Florida.

An 8 year old Mazda for $11k PLUS 27.9APR on a 68 month loan? HOLY SHIT...
