Confused on what car to buy
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2024 1:15 pm
So I am new to the city and looking to buy my first car. It will be my daily and weekend fun car. I don’t plan on doing any serious offroading; maybe just take the car on wadi trips in the winter, and some trips to the desert every once in a while. Like most expats, I don't know how long I will be in the UAE and don't want to lose too much value in case I have to leave..
I am looking for brand new cars since the used car market is crazy expensive.
I have looked around and shortlisted the Fortuner and the new Ford Everest. I went with the missus to test drive both on city roads (plus the tech), and Everest beats Fortuner by a mile. But it’s a Ford, only launched in GCC last year, and has a 2.3L Ecoboost engine.
What car would you suggest from the two? Or if you have any other suggestions, feel free to share.
Budget is <200k
