Replying to: outsidegurl (Sep 23, 2007 6:01 pm) My first stop in the car search was the Volvo XC-90, but I didn't feel it was worth the $$. Same for the Acura MDX. These cars are all over my neighborhood, and I hear people rant and rave about their MDX. But the new design looks ugly to me, and I can't part with that much money. I didn't even consider the Pilot bec it looked like my Highlander on steroids and I knew they'd be coming out with a new model in '09. I decided to get off my high horse and test drive the Highlander....and I LOVED it. Thought it was a smooth ride, a sweet ride. But I had already owned a Highlander for 6 years and couldn't bring myself to own another for an additional 6 years. (I actually ordered one through the dealer; waited 3 weeks for it to come by boat, truck, etc. Drove it and thought it was boring. Zzzzzzzzzzzz. I think the middle seat stow-n-go is a waste of space. And the exterior is dull, dull, dull.) I then moved on to an Acadia. With each test drive (and I drove it 4 or 5 times), I felt I was driving a monster truck. It felt sluggish and heavy. But I loved the look of it, the features and all the space it provided. I special ordered one in my choice of colors and features. Four weeks later, it arrived at the dealer. I test drove it and took it back--it was just too big for me. I love the idea of the Acadia and think it's a great looking CUV. But it's big...certainly bigger than I need/want. In the meantime, I had seen the CX-9 but blew it off because I had already decided upon the Acadia. But, once the Acadia was done and gone from the picture, I went back to the CX-9. (I had also looked at the Tribeca. It was cute, but too small for me and the reviews weren't good enough.) To make a long (and boring) story short, I've opted to buy a Touring CX-9, with the touring assist package included (nav, back up camera, rear lift gate). I like that the body style is completely different from my '01 Highlander. And I like that it's very driveable, unlike my experience with the Acadia. I test drove the GT once, and it wasn't the ride for me, but I've read lots of great consumer reviews about it. If I were you, I wouldn't rule out the Highlander just yet. Did you test drive the Sport? If I didn't currently own a Highlander, I probably wouldn't find the '08 boring. My '01 Highlander has never given me an ounce of trouble--it's been a very reliable car. Best of luck! I have spent endless hours test driving, reading these forums, reading car reviews and test driving even more. I've come to the conclusion that nothing's perfect. But I like that I could get lots of bells and whistles in the CX-9 without spending 40K+. If only they could work on the MPG. It's pretty bad.
