Suggestions for a new car

[Goritoes]

So guys, last Friday my wife hit a chunky deer with my car and my Insurance company instead of fixing the car are now writing it off, they told me its totaled and they towed my car today, Now I am waiting for them to Pay of my finance company to get paid with whatever is left of it I will get. So now basically I am back in market to buy a car so I would like to get some suggestions ? the car my wife wrecked was 2014 Honda Accord, which was a nice car to drive, decent options and good on gas and I was thinking of finding another accord but I want to see if I can get some other car, I am not a fan of sedan nor SUV's but I do like cross-overs, anyone here drive any cross-overs ? or any other you want to recommend me? my last car was around 15,000$ this time I am thinking to put around 20,000-25,000$, I hope its decent amount to get a decent long term car.

In USA, what i have done for cars i bought..
Used car with completely paying off..

Better buy 3-4 years old camry/accord..used cars are suddenly expensive these days so wont be a bad idea to finanace a new one from dealer (or 1 year older edition)

On perosnal note some luxury american cars can be picked up at steep discount (buik/gm) if they are few years old but reliability comes into play

I would stay away from BMW/Audi they are notorious unreliable/high maintence
Highlander seems to be the best option i guess

I have short listed a couple, Honda HR-V cross-over , Chevy Trax and Audi but I am skeptical about Audi as its high maintenance cost and low gas mileage, I am not gonna lie here but I am also looking for looks and options it comes with, my last accord was base model but as it was my first car in USA I just wanted to get in the market with it, and now this unfortunate accident happen and it change my plans.

I heard some good reviews about Infinity and Nissan, they seems reliable and good on gas as well.

Actually i am just like you right now, very unsure about the electric cars.

Get a Korean or Japanese brand cross-over. Forget sedans.

Honda crv or hrc
Mazda cx3 or 5 are really good option.

Privately-owned personal transport cars are obsolete. Use taxis or public buses.

RIP to the deer.

 

[Falconless]

Tesla?

 

[Goritoes]

Tesla?

Can't afford right now...

Privately-owned personal transport cars are obsolete. Use taxis or public buses.

RIP to the deer.

Where I live, there are no buses, no taxi's and no other public transport except for Police cars

Honda crv or hrc

I am really interested in Honda HR-V its a decent car within my budget.

Hoping all is well with your wife @Goritoes

Yes bro, thankfully none of us get hurt except for the poor deer who died on impact, It could be worse as the 18 wheeler approaching if my wife get panics and turn left, or right (to get off road) it would've been worse.

Thanks for tagging me. I hope your wife is in good health/uninjured.

If your budget allows then Tesla Model 3. It offers excellent safety features; spacious interior; very high degree of automation (assistance), freedom from gasoline, and better performance than many cars in markets.

If not then take a look at following options:

Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid (Compact)

I'd recommend the Kia Sportage, you could probably find a very good model, second hand in a much lower price than you've quoted. Plenty of interior space, just make sure it was recalled and had it's brake lines fixed (Several KIA models had that manufacturing fault). Or the Honda Pilot, a very reliable car. Or the 4Runner of you want an older model (personal favourite). It's a pity America didn't get the Fortuner, would've sold like a hotcake there.
Crossovers have their ups and downs, they're good for city driving, but if you have long drives and stay in highways most of the time, you're better off with a sedan.

Crossovers are gaining popularity in Pakistan, because of poor roads (at least Karachi) and they're basically a SUV for cheap (higher ride height, AWD etc...).

And if you want to stick with sedans, get an Avalon, Camry or another Accord. Wouldn't recommend Nissan right now. Nor the German vehicles.

(Also, try and see if you can get your hands on a second hand Lexus SUV or Cross over, they're worth every penny.)

Consider a Lexus. Japanese reliability but the build quality/extras are top end.

Personally I'm a BMW man but I live in the UK so don't understand your car market.
