Though you gotta wonder, what makes them think they're qualified to rate automobiles in the first place? I'd rank their merit to do so just below Family Circle magazine.  (side note: I think they actually do award a family car of the year, something like that) PM usually offers a unique perspective, but I would trust them more to evaluate car gadgets vs. entire cars. Like GPS systems, maybe. |

Pardon me while I rant a little... First off, why focus on the 3rd row when it's the least used seating position? What about front seat comfort? Isn't that more important? I guess it's nice that someone tried the 3rd rows and the cargo room, but just how important are those compared to the 1st and 2nd rows? They also show but don't specifically mention the Highlander's non-split 3rd row, which should have been emphasized given their focus on the 3rd row. In the Veracruz video, he actually calls the Hyundai "this Saturn", though it's just a slip because he'd been comparing the two. I'd rather see PM focus on, say, the differences in the AWD systems. Something more up their ally than 3rd row seat comfort. OK, rant over, back to your regularly scheduled program... |

I went and test drove dozen different vehicle, so i have rated Acadia and CX-9 best value for the money.I have prefered getting Acadia 1. better deal; 2. quiter inside; 3. more space for the driver; 4. close by dealership; 5.Mazda still unknown brand for me. Don't know what expect.

Replying to: ateixeira (Feb 19, 2008 10:29 am) That's easy. They are for different markets. You can't say the MKX is better than the Murano- they don't compete. The MKX is more expensive, and since it's luxury it should be nicer. How would the MKX rate in comparison to an MDX (obviously not well). Though you gotta wonder, what makes them think they're qualified to rate automobiles in the first place? If CR can do it (and according to all their diehard fans they can) than PM is qaulified to. It's little more than advertisment. If you're loooking for a car, don't just go off of them. Before doing YOUR OWN assessment, read MT or C&D and then go to edmunds.com. I think we can all agree these sources are a bit more reliable and experienced in this field.

Replying to: chuckhoy (Feb 19, 2008 11:42 am) The Acadia/Enclave, the TX and the CX-9 because we need the space, and the MDX because we like it. I also like the Q7, but it wouldn't make the cut bacause it doesn't handle great. The TX would get cut out because I don't like the new look of the TX, and I want some ground clearance. I'm not a fan of the CX-9's looks either (if I wanted sporty, I'd rather have the MDX). For the sake of functionality and space, the MDX would probably get cut too, if I decided I really wasn't willing to give up the space. That would leave the lambda twins. |
