Time for a new ride........

[BlueTJCO]

Well were going to get Angie a new car here in the next couple of weeks. We have narrowed our choices down quite a bit and now I'm curious if anyone here drives any of these vehicles, and can give me some opinions on them..........What did you like/dislike? Any problems? etc.etc.etc...

Cars we are looking at:

1. 2007 Toyota Camry XLE

I really like the looks of the car, and it's very nice with the 18 inch rims. The motor is powerful and it's very refined inside.


2. 2007 Honda Accord

Angie really likes the accord.......I'm not as into it. The motor is still powerful but it's definately not as nice or refined as the toyota. Still......gotta consider Honda's reliability........

3. 2007 Redesigned Nissan Altima

The smallest out of the three, but is very sharp and fast........has the 270hp Maxima motor and is just a damn good looking car. Dont know much about Nissan's long term reliablity however....


we really were looking for a newer G35 X Sedan but cant find any at a decent price. If we get a car we are going to get one brand new, have the warranty, and make sure we get something with long term reliability.


SUV's we are looking at:

1. New Grand Cherokee or Commander

I really like the room in the Commander. It's very comfy up front, has nav, and the V8 is plenty powerful. It drives nice also (Imo)


2. Honda Pilot

Again not my favorite....but it's nice, drives like a car, and seats 7.


3. Toyota 4-Runner or Chevy Trailblazer

Have not driven either one yet, going to do that this week. I owned a 2000 ZR2 blazer and really liked it. The trailblazer is nice looking but I've never been in one...only seen them from the outside.


thanks

Moonie,
I would DEFINITELY get the Honda Pilot. We are finishing up our 3rd year of a lease and are going out to get another one.

[Adam in CO]

Don't buy a Hummer.

They suck.

Honda Pilot and Toyota 4Runner (if you need towing abilities of a truck) are first choices. I know people with both and they are happy with the vehicles. I had a rental Trailblazer for a couple of days and it was cheezy and ugly, no thanks.

[jmsspratlin]

Maybe a BMW 530i. Oh, I also know a guy that has one

[marin8703]

pontiac has a better choice than all of the cars you listed up top. better lookin car and better performing too.

[KenP]

Get what she wants. That's the only real choice out there.

[BigPoppa1411]

Your best bet is getting EXACTLY what she wants. Saves you many "discussions" and "Headaches" trust me.
Which is why the wifey has her own H3!

[BlueTJCO]

problem is.....she is very indecisive on this one. She really does like all of the cars I listed. She likes the looks, she likes the way they drive.....and she can't really make up her mind......... ........so now I'm trying to help her decide on a couple to stick with, and then get serious about getting one.

I dont know whether to take you seriously or not...........

but.............she really did like it a LOT when she drove it. I thought it was nice myself. Has good power and drives more like a car.

I think her choices right now are:

Honda Pilot
Toyota Camry
Honda Accord

....................I'm pushing for the Altima.........it screams....I'd say a little quicker than the G35........................

VQ35DE ? 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6
Horsepower ? 270 hp @ 6,000 rpm
Torque ? 258 lb-ft @ 4,400 rpm

oh yea.........this car's for her..........

I'm planning on getting the 4 door wrangler soon for myself. No need for an H3, although I do like them.

Buy her a used Unimog or 6x6 Pinzgauer. I'm sure that's what she subconsciously wants, even if she won't admit it.

Good point. I have a friend that bought her a Bonneville (and she wanted a Accord), not a good choice.

True, unless you buy one from Medved Hummer in Denver. If you do, the consistently-awesome responsiveness of the highly-superior customer-centered maintenance and customer-relations staff there make buying a Hummer an experience not to be missed, despite the obvious design flaws in the vehicle.

I had a Santa Fe before the H3. was struck on driver side by redlight runner thrown into the air landing on roof and rolling 3 times. The Santa Fe protected me really well, course my "extra padding" helped a lot too!
But it did a great job of keeping me safe, according to my Dr... I should be dead.

Sorry...off topic. I would go with the Camry. Had one years ago and really liked it!

[usetosellhummer]

buy a new Geylander 2, they look swell
