Suggestions for an uncomfortable SUV
My girlfriend's 2012 Range Rover Sport is basically our daily driver but she is the primary driver . She likes the feel/size/visibility of an SUV and to be honest so do I . We are not retired and would like to purchase a used SUV to replace the Rover . Comfort is not a primary requirement with performance primary .
I am a fan of CRVs and not ruling that out . But what are other suggestions in the 150 - 200 K range ? We want to stay about Bentayga size or a little bigger . Suggestions ?

I bought a Lamborghini Urus last week.
I looked at a Masarati Levante but found it pedestrian. It was too comfortable. The Urus is named after an extinct, shaggy haired, wild ox, apparently without heated seats. Wild ox were fast, especially in yellow. ![]() A Range Rover Sport is a mobile home compared to my Ox.

I vote for the UniMOG too. Great for traffic, you just drive straight over the top. Parking; similar.

Anything with solid axles and leaf springs will do the trick for pure hell-on-or-off-the-highway.
My Marquis-De-Sade overlanding fantasies always include the 1953 Chevy Suburban or the 1960 Dodge Town Wagon ![]() ![]()

Ever sat in a service department waiting room chair? Most uncomfortable seat ever.
Try anything Audi offers in the SUV category, then you can spend most of the time sitting in one of those chairs.

Can you get something with a cloaking device? If Mrs. Gogar finds out about the girlfriend and your Range Rover DD you’ll find out what uncomfortable really means.
