I need to replace my old E350 and am leaning towards a Land Cruiser, mainly because I don’t like buying cars and the Land Cruiser should last at least a decade and a half and it’s high off the ground (which I need to drive through floodwater and on TX back roads). Good idea? Bad idea? I’m not a car gal, but I also don’t want to throw my money at anything stupid.

Are you leaning towards the new LCs or a used 100/200 series? If the older ones, it’s a good idea. Also consider a used LX570 if you can find one you like.

I have an older GX, it has all of what we need and will also last a while.

Not a new one, right?

But all do same work.

Feedback on this Alpine A110: don’t buy one for more than 40k€. Rather go for an F-Type, a Boxster or an M2.

+ Fun, agility, good sound
- Cheap interior & details, 4-cylinder, too expensive
