Replying to: ateixeira (May 07, 2009 5:30 am) I too have finally purchased a GPS - a TomTom 330S on sale for $199. I have had a blast changing the voices and pointer. Currently, I have a canadien voice, eh and the pointer is my vintage Mustang GT. Rob

I prefer the soft voice over the american accent. Tom Tom has Bugs Bunny and Mr. T, right? The novelty would wear off after a few laughs. "I knew we shoulda made that left in Albuquerque".

Costco had the sale still on (until tomorrow, if anyone's interested). $150 was good, just $25 more than the refurbished one and now I can get the 2010 maps (both came with 2009). The map updates cost more than the $25 so I come out ahead, sort of. I can't believe how prices have dropped. My first one was $404 and had a small screen and no Text-to-Speech. Now I'm paying $149 for a big screen with TTS.  They also had a 265wt model (adds Bluetooth and FM Traffic for life), plus it came with a free carrying case, for $230. I was tempted, but early reviews for the FM traffic are not that good so I passed. That plus I'm cheap.

Replying to: ateixeira (May 08, 2009 7:47 am) We won't be overlooking the Impreza by any means. It's just that since we're keeping the trusty OB, AWD is taking a back seat to MPG on Q's priority list. The main function of the vehicle will be to transport her, our daughter, a cello and their school stuff to and from school most days, and also for Q to commute to regional gigs as needed (Lancaster PA, OC, Annapolis). So on her list right now are Clubman, Cube, Soul, Fit, Impreza. Just doesn't like Scion, so that's off. We drove a clubbie and it was great. I mean, really really great. Just the base model, NA, 15" rims, but what a hoot, so willing to play and tons of personality. I've driven a new OBS, and it too is quite good. Not as tossable, but roomier obviously. Now though it looks like my job is in jeopardy, so price has become more of an issue, which hurts the MINI. Dealers (and this goes for KIA too) have all the sudden jacked the stickers to stupid heights. We'll wait for Cube to arrive, and save up more of a down payment, and then load up with all the stuff that the car will need to carry every day and go have a test-drive orgy. |

Replying to: ateixeira (May 07, 2009 9:07 am) So, after spending about $50 an a Carfax and the testing fee, I had a fun rental for a day I guess, but wound up swapping keys back midday yesterday. The guy had washed the Outback and figured out which dip switch turned off my flaky alarm system, so that was nice of him. I filled up the Miata on the way back to his place. His '97 was a lot rougher than mine. Lots of dings and scratches and worn carpet and interior bits. But it sure was fun to tool around in. |
