CR has the 17 model as more reliable .The 19 has more user friendly apps for my wife to use and of course safety is stellar on both models. Can anyone please compare the 2 for me ? I promise to make a decision on my own.(With my wife's help of course).

I have a 2019 3.6R Limited, and I have had zero issues. Most money I've had to spend on it was replacing 6 spark plugs instead of 4, and need to get the brakes done at 65k miles. I'd recommend going newer if you can, but I don't know all of the differences.

Take the 2019. You get Android Auto and Apple Car Play out of the box.

And don't know if it's the same in your market, but the radio gained DAB support over earlier years for our release.

You also get the facelift design in the headlights (sharper lines).

+1 for 2019. It has standard eyesight, so that's one less thing to look for in the 2017. I suspect the CR ratings are impacted by the growing pains of the new entertainment system that was a part of the mid-cycle refresh for the 2018 & 2019 models.

I have a 2018 and have had 0 issues with the radio (bought it as a CPO so not sure what might have been fixed prior to my ownership). I bought it after trading a 2017, I wanted the upgrade to eyesight. There are a lot of other minor refinements that I noticed between the 2 years (CVT seemed a little smoother, and suspension seemed better, but maybe those were just my perceptions moving to a car w/ 50,000 less miles?).

I have had both and never had any real issues with either. Id get the lower mileage and /or newest one.

17' has 45k and 19' 50k,,,Seeing the 19 today.

 

[cerbomark]

well then price and overall condition would be a consideration. 19 may have had some refinements but nothing you ll know about if driving the 17. Check on the CVT warranty and issues on the 17, just a thought. A few years extended the warranty(on the trans) to 100K cause they had troubles.

here s my 19 with 54K...

I have a 17 and have had it since new.

It's been near flawless in 100k hard miles.

The only vehicle I would replace it with would be a 19 3.6.

What about a 19 2.5l?

At those mileages I would agree with considering the price and overall condition. The lack of Android Auto and Apple Car Play is slightly annoying in mine, but not something I would go out of my way to spend significantly more money on just to have. Seems like you can’t make a bad choice either way and will be happy with your decision.

It's actually less than the 17

 

[cerbomark]

condition and maintenance consider. at 50 K miles, brakes, trans fluid change, front and rear diff fluid change, battery, tires etc.. I just did all that and coolant flush too.

I have a '17 3.6R Touring and I'd definitely say the '19. Although a preferred exterior/interior color might sway me the other way, I'm never a big fan of the ivory leather.

I wasn't an ivory fan at first but the way they broke it up with all the black, dash, console, door panels etc, I now like it.
when will the Oper give us some details on the 2?

 

[Heynowirv]

We drove the 19' today much smoother with a nice info system. It's certified with another 2 year 100k(it has 50) powertrain warranty. Clean inside and out .Clean carfax. Small concern that's the only warranty, once we drive it off the lot it's on us. Decision time. WWYD?

I d have it checked out by someone qualified (if your not sure). check your self to see if everything works. Nothing should be wet with oil etc, although they d clean that up I d assume. Unfortunately thats the price of buying a used car. Any service history? Again without knowing the price it s hard to say WWID.

It was rainy in Maryland. It looked clean but you know . Saw the car fax and it was serviced at proper intervals. The price was/ is 25500.
