Yesterday I traded in my 2005 Outlander for a 2008 Outlander SE. It's green with the beige interior. I don't mind the beige interior, except I'm worried about how quickly it will get dirty. I wanted the green, but since the Outlander brochure said it was only available in the XLS, I had given up. Then on my way to look at the graphite grey ES, I walked by a green one that didn't say V6 on the side. Looked at the sticker and saw the "SE". I don't think the dealer even new they had this trim level. Paid a little more to get the color I wanted and some "nice to have's" without having to pay for the 6 cylinder or the third row of seats, which weren't important to me. I love the SE trim level. The Fast Key is cool. The 115V power outlet is new for me. Didn't have that in the '05. We'll see if I ever use it. The sun & sound is nice. The satellite radio is keeping the wife busy  so she's not begging to drive all of the time. She never wanted to drive the '05. She likes driving the '08. One thing I noticed is that it doesn't seem to accelerate from a stop as fast as my '05 did. Do I just need to "break in" the '08? Maybe I should've gotten the 6 cylinder??? It drives nice overall. Played with the paddle shifters, but will probably leave it in full automatic all of the time. Feels pretty smooth and quiet, but they've fixed a lot of potholes around here already. I think the look of the '08 is much better than the '05. It feels bigger. Maybe 'cause I jacked the driver's seat all the way up. The LED tail lights look good and the fold down tailgate seems great. There were probably six times I tried to put something into my '05 that would've fit, if I could've gotten it through the opening. I'm hoping the fold down tailgate solves that. Haven't spent to much time in it yet, but that's my thoughts so far. |

Replying to: batman47 (Jul 02, 2008 8:29 am) $50 bucks seems a reasonable price - I was planning to go to a detailing shop and have the film custom-made. I'm asking all these questions because the other day I was checking out some 08 models in the dealer lot and it seems like they come with some extra film (going higher around the wheel well arch) on the rear door frame, but not on the door itself. However, the piece on the door it's the same size as on earlier models. I find this setup odd as it does not address the main issue - the major damage is on the door itself. I hope what you got covers the bulge on the rear door, up to about the height of the rear wheel.
