Every person I talk to in real life tells me to just get a RAV4 or a CR-V and call it a day. And look I get it, they're great cars. But I test drove a 2021 XC40 last weekend and I cant stop thinking about it.
Found one with 41k miles for about 22k at a dealer in Nashville. Interior feels like nothing else in that price range, the safety features are insane and it drives way better than I expected from a small SUV.
My only real concern is maintenance costs down the road, I know European cars can get pricey. I do mostly city driving with occasional weekend road trips so nothing too demanding.
Is the XC40 actually a headache to own long term or are people just being snobby about it? I have some money set aside for repairs if needed but obviously dont want to be throwing it at the same issues repeatedly
