She wants a Porsche SUV. Her compromise is a BMW or Mercedes SUV.

My concern is the maintenance, reliability, repair costs, and stress level the car’s problems will cause me. For these reasons I prefer the Lexus although I’d prefer one of the others myself if those costs are similar.

How much more will the Porsche, BMW, Mercedes cost me in the next 10 years (rhetorical question)? Am I much more likely to have major repairs than the Lexus? What would you recommend? We’re looking at the lower end models, Macan, GLA250, X3, RX350… or is there something else we should consider?

edit sorry I should have added we’re looking Used. Thinking I’ll own it up until the 10 year mark maximum, buying a 2-3 year old model & getting something else in 5-7 years. We don’t put many miles on the car. Maybe 15k a year.
