I'm not ready to buy yet, but I'm always noodling through what the next car should be. Currently I have two vehicles which I try to split my driving evenly. I've got a 2019 Audi S3 and a '19 Kia Sorento with the 3.3 V6. I enjoy both cars and have had no issues with either, although truth be told, I've only had the S3 for less than two years. But so far so good with the Audi and I love that car. I'm impressed with the EA888 engine. For '19 it was rated at 288 hp, yet I can get 32.5 mpg on a road trip. That's pretty good in my opinion.
So back to the topic of what to do next, I will probably downsize to just one vehicle. I'm considering the Q5 because I'm very impressed so far with my Audi. The Q5 is the right size and has the same engine although detuned a little. The Genesis GV70 seems to be well liked. I would be looking at the 2.5 Turbo version which makes 300 hp. I'm assuming that the GV70 would be less expensive than the Audi when it comes to service and repairs. (I've been doing my own oil changes on my S3 and it has needed no other service or repairs so far).
The other consideration could possibly be the Ford Edge ST. That has the 2.7 turbo V6 which has always caught my eye (think 335 hp). I think that the Edge in that configuration would have the least mpg of these three. Again, I'm assuming that the Ford would be less expensive to maintain than the Audi.
I realize that an important first step would be test driving each. I will probably do that with the Audi next week when I'm at the dealer getting the S3 state inspected (Pa. yearly requirement). I visited the Ford and Genesis lots yesterday and there were no subject vehicles to be seen anywhere.
So I'm interested to hear your thoughts on these three vehicles, good or bad. I'm in no hurry with this.
Thanks for your consideration.
