How reliable is Lexus and is maintenance outrageously expensive? Considering an RXh at some point and I’m hesitant after being burned on crap reliability and expensive repairs with Audi

Why would you get that car? Wouldn't you be able to afford something a bit better and reliable as a principal?

I would recommend a Porsche SUV. Reliable and much more fun to drive.

Lexus are very reliable and low cost maintenance. Generally good service at the dealership and plenty of good stand-alone shops to take care of it if you want to save a few bucks. Said elsewhere, RX is the best seller for a reason.

RXH doesn't fit the criteria you mentioned about 3rd row with room in trunk. Go with Palisade or Telluride for that. Both have great reliability amd top of their segment across multiple parameters. If you need a reliable 3 row seater with good trunk space that is also an suv then wait for 2024 toyota grand highlander.

Principal means different things at different firms :).

The reason I’m not looking to Porsche is because I want a third row and/or a big trunk, and they only make 2-row with tiny trunks. Family of 5 plus a dog and we do some road-tripping so a little more room is helpful.

Also are you suggesting that Porsche is more reliable than Lexus? I don’t know, which is why I’m asking, but that would surprise me. And as important as the frequency is the cost. I would expect Porsche to be outrageously expensive for the most minor issues, which is part of my concern.

Hi y'all! Looking for thoughts on if this a good deal?

Toyota Camry hybrid for 23k with less than 50k miles on it. 2016 model.

So squirrels decided to eat my engine harness (thanks Honda for your eco friendly wiring).
I got it fixed but the acceleration still feels sluggish even when slamming the acceleration on sport mode. It’s a 2017 Honda Civic turbo and used to have a pretty fun acceleration. Any ideas what could be the culprit or where to look? Things like bad ECU/ messed up turbo/ air leak?

Looking for a used AWD SUV ~$20k price point, what would you recommend? Ideally 2012 or later with under 100k miles. Reliability and low lifetime maintenance costs are number 1 priority. Plan would be to run it into the ground eventually, not resell. Third row seating is a plus but not a requirement. Live in Colorado.

Don’t really want to lease and thinking I want to buy new, but would be interested in hearing about people’s thoughts on buying used?

PHEV (specifically, RAV4 Prime) yay/nay?

Expected use case:

Rare road trip use (1x or 2x / yr; <300 miles one way)
Have garage (to charge at home)

Chief Concern: "Best of both worlds" in engineering can mean compromises and complications, which can mean non-resilient/unreliable. But I'm no gearhead, so not sure if I'm making massive incorrect assumptions.
