New car help?
I recently got a 2014 BMW but when I brought it to the mechanic for typical repairs he put the wrong oil in and ruined the engine, so I'm told. I'm currently in Malibu and I would like to get a car to go to Chicago for work. I need an SUV and I need help choosing which one. I was thinking land rover but if you have opinions on a good one let me know.
-I don't want to lease I want to buy
-Preferably comfortable (I travel alot)
-Something with a good GPS
-Blue Tooth
-Very roomy
-Easy to drive
-Safe
-Stylish (My job consist of alot of meetings and I don't want to go to one in a 1980 Volvo, which was a car I had)
-Money is not an issue
-Repair costs is not an issue (but I don't want to wait for months for a new tire kind of thing)
-Can handle all terrain
I like the luxury that British, German, itailians give but if you have any suggestions let me know! Thanks guys!

Land Rovers are in essence, junk. Look up any reliability study, they have long since been the bottom of the barrel.
-comfort is relative. What's comfortable for me could be awful for you. Only you will know what is comfortable.
-If you want a good GPS, get a Garmin. Nothing else is as good (unless it uses Garmin electronics...I don't know who does off the top of my head.)
-Just about everyone has bluetooth available.
-Roomy for? Cargo? Driver? rear seat passengers? Again, depends on your definition.
-Easy to drive. Once again it depends on the person. Someone used to driving an SUV or truck the size of the Titanic will find any SUV easy to drive, while someone who's been driving a Smart will find even a Honda CR-V much more difficult.
-Safe. Most every car made today is safe. If it's 3 stars or better by NHTSA it will be fine.
-Stylish, again, personal preference.
-Money is always an issue. I could tell you that a Ford Escape is the best, or a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S. So money is always an issue. You have to specify what you WANT to spend.
-Repair costs will ALWAYS be a benefit of American brands. A Jeep will always be cheaper to repair than any European brand, and will require less repairs as well.
-What kind of all terrain? If you mean just dirt roads, any vehicle can do that. If you mean logging trails, I wouldn't take any German SUV then.
For luxury, again, it's all relative. There aren't many features in todays BMW X5/Mercedes ML's that you can't get in a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Chevy Trailblazer or Ford Explorer.
For what it's worth, I bought my wife an Acura MDX, but looked heavily at a Dodge Durango. The next vehicle we get very well could be a Durango just because the engine is one of the best available from anyone, the 8 speed auto is fantastic, and it has a ton of room. It will run longer and better than any European SUV, at half the price.

Since they're all new, the best thing to do is give each a test drive and go for the one that you like the most.
Porsche Cayenne (my personal favorite because it's a Porsche and it's the most unique)
Audi Q5/Q7
BMW X3/X5 (i'm assuming that it was your previous car)
Mercedes GLK class
Volvo XC60/XC90 (i know it's not British, German, or Italian but it's still something to consider)
Lexus RX350 (same as the Volvo, there's also a new Lexus NX)
Infiniti QX70

Looks like you need help to decide what you want. I will be glad to come help you. Send price of ticket, address. I will find you the perfect car if I am the one that decides which one is best. And if the money is right, I might even brush your teeth.
