I believe the EPA rates them at 16/21 for the V6 model and 15/20 for the V8 model. I honestly, sincerely suggest checking out the new Explorers, you'll like 'em. I came *this* close to buying one but we already have a big car so the Focus won out.

 

Ok then, the other 7 passenger SUV that I can think of, that hasn't been mentioned yet, is a Subaru B9 Tribeca, but I don't know anything about them.

 

I was gonna suggest the MDX..

But, the pilot is a little cheaper than the MDX is, even though they're essentially the same vehicle.

 

Yeah but those look like a piece of dog ****.

Bighersh, of course you were going to recommend the MDX, you balla.

 

LOL, actually- as much as I love it, if I could rewind back to the day I got it, I'd not have gotten it; instead opting for the Grand Cherokee SRT-8, or- keeping my Expedition.

It's a sweet ride, but once you've gone full size, it's hard to go back to mid-size; but- with 420 HP- I'm sure it'd be easier to get over the loss of space.

 

Swung by the local Subaru dealership on my way to work...

HOLY CRAP!

Since when were Subarus and Volvo/ BMW in the same class?

I think the Tribeca looks nice, but here they start at like 45k...

The stealership also had Hyundai, was telling me about the new and improved Santa Fe coming out in the summer... No way I'm letting my wife drive a Hyundai, no way.

Car shopping sucks... Im just going to go buy her an F150, I know what I am looking for with those...

 

We have a Hunday in our company and has been a very reliable car it's called ATOZ Cero problems in 80K Km.

 

What do you guys think about this deal...

2001 Volvo S40

All options but a sunroof. (leather, power, keyless, premium sound, ect ect)

60,500 kilometeres (37,000 miles)

$16,000 CDN (just pretend it is USD though, close enough)

From what I understand Volvo will go a few hundred thousand. Plus, they are in the family now. haha.

Good deal?

 

Where are the other two passengers going to sit....in the trunk or on the roof? I thought you wanted room for 7.

 

She is switching gears again... if she gets an SUV she wants seven seats.

Otherwise she wants a car if she is going to only have five seats ( )

Translation = she doesn't really know what she wants, but she is now saying she really really likes this volvo and I was impressed with it, so we may just go for it.

She is talking to our bank about it now, but who knows, by the time I get home from work, her mind could have changed again.
