Car Dealerships in Bay Ridge

We are looking at purchasing a small SUV because our Rav 4 is old. So I am making a list here and I will eventually put them into categories of what we have seen and liked. One issue which is always is a conc

Here are the car dealerships in Bay Ridge or close to the area. We are looking for new SUV – a small one, but we don’t know what we want so we are going to try a few. We have no preference towards any name brand right now.

We are looking for a short SUV so it’s easy to park, good case milage and good handling/smooth ride.  No special order, I just grouped dealerships by location.

 

Winners 

Jeep Renegade – I never knew I would be interested in a Jeep, but this one isn’t the same as the college off roading Jeep – it’s a small SUV and so fun! Reasonably priced. We have to take this one for a test drive.

Toyota – 6401 – 6th Avenue  Rav 4 (179.9 in.).  We own a Rav and loved the Rav.  The problem is that the newer Rav is bigger.

 

Losers

 

Honda – CRV (179 inches) – didn’t even want to test drive it –  8801 – 4th Avenue (next to 7/11)

Volkswagon – the Tiguan – Test drove it and I didn’t like it – not smooth, cheap looking interior& bad gas mileage. I thought our old Rav felt better inside and rode better  8910 – 4 Avenue

Audi – looking at the Q3 and Q5 (182 inches long)  665 65th Street   It’s almost 40K and looks like the Rav 4 inside. I am an Audi car fan so I was surprised I didn’t love this SUV.

Volvo – 8919 – 4th Avenue  XC-60 (182 inches long)

Fiat – 500X (168 in.)   426 89th Street – I thought I was going to love this one as I am a Fiat car lover. But I didn’t care for the interior layout.

Ford – Escape (178 in. ) – not a fan of Fords because I have rented them for road trips. I didn’t like the interior – not fun to even sit in.   612 -86th Street  (Flex has good gas mileage) (Edge is 188 inches)

 

Haven’t Seen Yet

 

Hyundai – Tucson (173 inches)  – not a fan on Hyundai’s 9013 – 4th Avenue – is it still there?

BMW – 9326 – 4th Avenue   Looking at the X1 (176 inches) or the X3 (183 in)

Chrysler/Dodge/Buick – 8825 5th Ave  –  want to try the Dodge Nitro (178) &  Buick Encore (168 inches) – weird shape?

Land Rover Range Rover Evoque – at the Volvo store

Chevy – 5200 Kings Highway  –  want to try the Chevy Trax (167.2) or the Equinox AWD

Cadillac 5200 Kings Hwy      SRX (190 – too large)

Lexus – 6502 – 5th Avenue  (all SUVs too long for us)

Lincoln – MKC (179.2 in.)  6502 – 5th Avenue

Nissan Rogue 6501 5th Ave, Brooklyn  (888) 251-7530

Subaru – 1819 Cropsey Avenue – looking at the Sportstrek (175 inches) or Forester (180)

Mercedes – GLA (173)   GLK (178)  1800 Shore Pkwy

Infinity – 20 Neptune Avenue QX50 (182 inches)

Acura – 2751 Nostrand Ave  Looking at the RDX (184 in.)

Mitsubishi – Outlander Sport (185 in.)  5910 Church Ave (Bay Ridge one closed)

Kia – Sportage (175 inches) – 428 89th Street – is it still there…..if not 789 Coney Island Ave  or 1819 Cropsey Avenue I loved the look of the old Sportage, but we test drove one of these years ago and hated it  Then there is the 

Mazda 5701 Northern Blvd  Queens – would like to see the CX-5 (178 in)
