I say technically, because I already know what I want and why I want it:

A 2016 or newer Mitsibushi ASX with less than 100K for 250k or less..

Why..? Well I currently own one, a 2013 model nearing 200K.. It has all of the things (yes, luxuries for the most part) that I want in a car:

- Heated seats
- Electric mirrors and windows
- AC (pretty standard thing for most cars these days)
- Cruise control and steering wheel controls for factory radio for controlling music and hands free system
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Park distance control
- Good safety features
- Enough space (not yet able to afford a double cab, which is my ultimate goal)
- OBC with real time fuel usage etc (also relatively standard for most cars these days)
- Not leather but, not cloth seats either, really good quality hard wearing leather like material
- Park distance control

All and all, the ASX looks like the best value for money in terms of the above features, when compared to other similar vehicles from other brands.. I can get a 2016 ASX, one spec up from current one, which then adds to the above, reverse cam, day time running lights and touch screen infotainment system for my 250k budget, with only 67k on the clock..

Leading to my question: Are there any cars that I am missing, from other brands, that has my above wishlist at the age, mileage and price I am looking for..? I cannot seem to find anything but, I want to make sure I am not missing out on anything before I commit to the same car again..

Subaru Forester or XV?

CX5

Rav4? You might need to stretch your budget a bit for this, but they do hold their value well.

Ford Kuga (if you want to see past the PR nightmare with the 1.6ecoboost engines)

Not stretching my budget and with two tiny kids, any car with cloth seats is an automatic disqualification..

Why should I bother with reupholstery if I can avoid it from the get go with leather or the like..
You’re asking why? Well if you can’t see why, they you’re best off with the ASX. :ROFL:

It's ludicrous to go buy a car with cloth seats, only to have it reupholstered a year later at 5 or 10k.. that's just stupidity..
