... and if so, which ones? I have been advised to avoid them altogether, regardless of the vehicle. Would appreciate some advice. DGP

Replying to: dgp13 (Feb 17, 2008 11:17 am) The one exception that I make is if the buyer can't afford a large repair bill and wants to finance the warranty in with the car so they're only paying a few dollars per month. If you do get one make sure it's a factory warranty (Ford ESP e.g.) - 3rd party warrantys are notorious for problems.

Replying to: hardhawk (Feb 18, 2008 2:52 pm) Correct. However I'm betting they will be much cheaper from the factory.

I am interested in an 08 Ford Edge as my next vehicle. I am curious why the side roof rails are not available with the vista panoramic roof. Is it a weight issue, or does it have to do with the opening and closing of the roof? Going skiing and putting skis on top of the ski rack is a major reason why I'm interested in an AWD crossover and it seems silly to me that Ford would create such a design incompatibility. I'm 6'3" and have always found that a moon roof takes away just enough inches to make me not fit in a car so I'm ok with not getting the vista roof.

I too considered the Acadia but I'm leaning to the Edge for the following reasons: 1) Comparably equipped Acadia is much pricier (event though it has the 3rd row) 2) I was scared by the quality issues regarding the Acadia discussed on the Acadia forum 3) Lack of meaningful incentives by GM (paltry $500 cash back) If your son's 15 won't he be driving soon? Maybe it's time to consider getting him his own set of wheels so he won't have to sit in the backseat anymore  ?
