i drove an adventure package with cloth seats today.. and i played in the back and put the seats up and down, and overall i thought it was pretty nice, and it reminded me a lot of my old 77 scout 2. I liked it overall, but when it came down to acceleration, it was fine getting going from a stop but i turned right around a corner going up hill and it was pretty weak... also merging from one freeway to another, it was also weak when i hit the gas to get out of some subarus way... anyways i was expecting this, and its not bad, it will definetly have no problem towing my motorcycles and dirtbikes and gear. one thing i hate is when you are sitting inside in the drivers seat, there is no place to put your left arm.. you cant really hang it out the window cuz they are so damn high! and then the arm rest is so damn low too! so there needs to be a happy medium. however the guy figured it out on a 4 year lease for me at 38500 if i put 2 grand down it was like a payment of 580 or so.. so if i got 4000 down it could be in the 400's which i am shootin for... overall its a pretty fun rig, but will require some wheeltime to get used to as any car would.

i dunno im not too hip to the leasing game, but when i consider ill prolly not have it for longer than 3-4 years, and if i bought it, and put down 10000 i would be lucky to get a payment under 600 a month. the lower lease payment just seems to make sense to me? with the combination of lux/adveenture package, and all the other crap i want im sure it will come to 40k+

Wannabe,

You can get an H2 for that kind of money.

I did extended terms on mine. You can get financing for 72 and 84 months, and the rate is only like 5%. I borrowed 38K to cover wheels at 3K, and the payment is mid low 5s. Of course it helps that I had the supplier discount to for $3500 off sticker!
