Wouxun makes the KG-UV8e tri-band not too terribly priced.

I bought the BaoFeng UV-5x3 to get access to 220 mHz as I do not have a radio on that band it is great for just traveling around and being able to hit repeaters from your hotel room or if you have an external antenna on the vehicle you can hook up to it, even as a mobile. It is given to intermod when you are in high population areas but beyond that the only other thing that comes to mind is it is a wee bit slow in the RX<>TX transitions, but you learn to live with it.
For the price it is hard to beat, and it you do break it do you do not cry too much.

Something to consider.

The one radio I looked at so far was the BaoFeng UV-5x3
Just to be clear, this is a BTech radio manufactured for and sold by Baofeng Tech (the radio dealer in the USA). Even though it resembles, the UV-5R and other similar Baofeng radio models, it is not made by Baofeng (the radio manufacturer in China).
