As good as the car reviews claim
I keep my cars for a long time, like my 4Runner for 14 years and 235,000 miles so when it is time to select a replacement, I do my homework both online and test driving. It was a challenge during the "chip shortage" but I test drove 7 3-row SUVs from an Excel sheet I created with 14 competitors. The Hyundai Palisade came out on top after a second test drive.
However, you never really know how you are going to like a vehicle from a 20-minute test drive so the true test came when I took the car home and headed on a 75-mile ride on Thanksgiving to our daughter's house. The ride was such a pleasure on a rainy, misty day I felt safe and secure with my wife and son with me. The ride home at night on the highway, again in the misty dark night inspired confidence.
Since ownership every time my wife rides with me I say, "did I tell you how much I love this Palisade?"
