|
Well two of the 3 kids are too big for boosters. I think she just wants something other than a van. She thinks a SUV or crossover will have more room (wrong) but she won't believe me. I'm taking her car shopping this weekend so she can see herself.

Sorry you don't like the Tribeca. What about it don't you like? I'm probably going to write it off anyways, but I'm curious.

Replying to: irg (Mar 28, 2008 10:43 am) Pros: very comfortable seats, everything is easy to reach on the dash, smooth ride at higher speeds, dash controls illuminate nicely at night, great handling in crappy weather. Cons: Terrible on gas, very stiff ride for city driving, cabin noise (headliner, rear panels) is excessive, rear hatch is noisy, rear seats make a knocking sound over bumps, third row is pointless. Just make sure when you test drive the car (if you do), take it over different types of road surfaces at different speeds. Go with the Pilot....as soon as i can afford to hand my Tribeca in I will be going straight to Honda for another Pilot

I came today to New York for business yesterday, so I took the time to go to the Autoshow with my brother in law. The Subaru display was plain vanilla, but, not like last year, there was nothing new to display. But after spending 7 hours taking my time to check every car in the show, I just can say that even with its annoyances, if I have to do the same again I would. Today, again I remembered that against my other 2 finalists (CX9, size feeling, MDX, cost) I took the decision that I could live happy with. From the new cars that I saw, the new Pilot is, to be fair, odd, on the ugly side. It's tecnically a concept, but they say its going to be basically the same car. The biggest challenge in the segment is going to be the new Murano, that I checked 2 weeks ago in Minneapolis, and that then and today, everybody was impressed with its quality feel.
