Replying to: audia8q (Sep 12, 2006 10:45 am) OMG most painful modern car I have ever driven. We took one in trade with only around 1000 miles on it. Anything you can lease for 399 a month when it has a MSRP of 60,000 plus has to be junk.

Does anyone know what SUV has the most leg room between rows of seats? I noticed that most mini vans have 42 inches but my murano is at 36ish....I'm really all about the leg room

Replying to: exb0 (Sep 12, 2006 3:44 pm) Also it depends on the mileage and term of the lease as to what your payment will be. One of my clients works for the local MB/BMW dealership so on the right R-Class you can get down to 399 or so a month. |

I'm looking for a new vehicle. Possibly low-miles used. Requirements: 4-5 doors, compact to midsize (sedan, hatchback, small wagon, maybe compact SUV), FWD, Auto, ABS, side airbags, power windows/locks, remote entry, traction control. Stability control and remote start would be a plus. Fuel efficient (30+MPG HWY). Smooth/quiet ride. Good safety ratings. Passenger room not a big priority, but would like enough room to haul stuff if I need to. Say $15k to $22k (US)? Something that feels a bit more than an "econobox," without breaking the bank. Currently Driving: 2.4L Cavalier LS, which has most of the options mentioned above, save for the side airbags, remote start and stability control. Looking for something a bit quieter, safer, more refined. Thoughts: Have been going kind of back & forth in my head with this one. Doing some online research and driven a few (Vibe, Maxx, Rabbit). Currently thinking maybe Malibu sedan LT w/ options, or low-end RAV4 for a lot more room. Can't seem to get traction control in a new Accord or Camry below $25k. Same with the new Aura. Vibe seems so pricey with all the options; doors felt a little flimsy, though I like the form factor. Not sure about Civic. (Wasn't encouraged by some of the Civic threads about the A/C.) No traction control in Civic. Malibu Maxx maybe, though it loses some mileage compared to the 4-cyl sedan. (RAV4 has similar mileage to Maxx, but a lot more room.) May test drive the Versa, though its seats don't really fold flat, and no traction control. Probably won't be buying VW, as dealer is about 3 hours away. Focus, Cobalt, and Corolla have traction control available as an option. Anyway, looking for opinions on what models to look into, based on the above criteria. Thanks in advance.

Replying to: _wraith_ (Sep 19, 2006 7:05 pm) My other though is the Chevy Impala, a little bigger than the others you were looking at, but the deals are pretty good on them right now. I think highway mileage is close to 30. |

We currently have an 02 Tribute that suits our needs fine(for now). Once May comes around, we will be hauling around 3 car seats. What are some vehicles that will hold 3 car seats(minivan or SUV). I like our Tribute, but I think that 3 car seats will be tight. I'd like to keep it under $10,000. Thanks in advance Dennis
