As a woman who has never been able to do my own car maintenance, I’m going to offer some advice to consider based on my experiences.
There are two things you most need to base your car buying decision on.
First is your safety. We ladies need a reliable vehicle to stay safe. It’s just a fact of life we are more vulnerable to risk if stranded.
Second is the practical distinction between what you need versus what you want. So while it is reasonable to want a particular type and size vehicle with upscale features you need to make sure that whatever you buy will meet your needs within your budget to buy AND maintain as reliable transportation.
As to advice about the specific vehicle you are asking about, the other posters are offering very good advice based on their expert knowledge.
