Replying to: cjurica (Aug 21, 2006 6:10 am) Have you considered the Chevy Eqinox, the Pontiac Torrent or the new Suzuki XL-7? Suzuki may be an import but its XL-7 is derived from the Eqinox plsatform so you might get a better deal on the Suzuki than you can the Chevy/Pontiac. If so, then its a steal. I guess these vehichles are big enough without being a quote" big SUV " I hope this helps you friend. Replies to this message: roundtrip (Aug 22, 2006 5:39 pm) cjurica (Aug 23, 2006 5:37 am)

Replying to: 79customd (Aug 21, 2006 12:26 pm) A friend bought an Equinox. Nice looking car on the outside but a kinda strange tricolor inside. It rode comfortably for the 2 miles I was in it. I don't think mileage is too great, but she wanted something with lots of room. She's a big girl and needed her space. Replies to this message: cjurica (Aug 23, 2006 5:37 am)

Replying to: cjurica (Aug 21, 2006 6:10 am) If you don't have babies yet, you may want to consider a CR-V or RAV4. Good amount of space without the mileage penalty. The Mazda5 is another possibility, part sedan, part minivan. I have to agree with kristie Easier on the back if don't have to bend so much to put your child in a car seat. If the babies are coming soon, buy your car seat and take it with you as you shop to make sure it fits in the back seat.   Don't knock the minivans. Sales have gone up and there are more choices on the market. Best use of space in a passenger vehicle adn they get decent gas mileage. BTW if you are about to be a daddy, forget cool.
#21 of 1145 How about a Maxx? by 79customd Aug 24, 2006 (12:42 pm)
What do you guys think of the Malibu Maxx? That might be what you are looking for. If you like style you can opt for the SS with the 3.9L V6, and if you want low cost, opt for the base with the 3.5. I think that car would be addiquit even if you see kids in your near future. Replies to this message: dtownfb (Aug 24, 2006 1:23 pm)

#23 of 1145 Mustang or Ranger by ericx1021 Aug 25, 2006 (9:24 am)
Hello all,   I made a mistake and bought a 2006 Scion xB. Its a great little car but not for me. Now that I owe so much on a new car the only thing I can afford is a new Ford with the 0% financing going on in my area on 06 models that havent been sold. My dream car has always been the new mustangs. I have a chance to get one of those or go with the safer choice of an 06 Ranger. I had a truck before the scion and I live in Pittsburgh, PA so the truck would be better for the winter and im also a big guy 6'2. I drove the mustang and im not uncomfortable and i freakin love it. What should I do?

Ready, set, go!   (now ducking to avoid all the posts sure to follow)   Eric, how much do you owe on the Scion? What are your payments? Do you have any equity?   I suspect that the majority of advice you're going to get will be of the type "stick with the Scion until its paid off".   We'll see.

Replying to: michaell (Aug 25, 2006 12:38 pm) i owe about 18g on the scion, $331 a month. Both the mustang and ranger will take me to about $390-420 a month for 6 years. I really dont care what ppl say about the scion. I hate it and im not keeping it. I can afford the monthly payment on a new car. Im looking for advice on whether to buy the mustang or ranger. im not looking for advice on whether to keep the scion Replies to this message: ashl (Aug 25, 2006 1:19 pm)
