Alright people, I've been trying to decide what car I want to buy for 8 months while I waited for my 1998 Volvo V70 to die. The Volvo has passed and we're moving on to something a little more youthful (I'm 22).
Three things I'm looking for in a car:
1) Reliability
2) Safety
3) Reasonably priced ($13k-$14k)
...nothing novel here. Pretty standard.
Deciding between
1) Mazda CX 5
2) Honda CRV
3) Subaru Outback
...all within 2013 range and less than 80,000 miles.
My questions for you:
1) Are there any other vehicles I should be considering?
2) Which of these cars are going to be the most reliable?
3) Which of these cars will look best with a golden retriever in the passenger seat?
^just kidding about #3. Sort of.
Help a girl out, thanks!

2. Toyota and Honda have the best reputation for reliability, but will likely be the most expensive to obtain
3. I have dachshunds, so can't help you with big dogs

Options are fine, but the crv and subaru have such strong resale, you won’t get as much for your money. Take a look at Ford Escape too.
