Time For A New Car

[sjrtk]

1.5 mile commute? Segway with a winter coat?

Andy Bernard: You meet a lot of ladies driving an Xterra because you pull up to a stoplight and look over and there's an Xterra next to you, they're always driven by chicks. So there's your ice breaker.

My lifted pathfinder was good for Xterra girls to but not Wrangelr girls (one of them hit me left me in a ditch on the roof).

That being said Yes 90% of RSX's in NJ are driven by douchbags. But are still reliableas are just about all your choices (as long as you take care of them) Audi's v-6 leaks oil all the time period (i work on them enough). I own a Saab and she's starting to show her age at 200k and 10 years old. there all good just find what fits.

How could you get rid of the purple X?

Because it was old, was going to need more work than it was worth, and I didn't trust it on long drives with the family.

Still, park it on the lawn as a monument, or donate it to Topgun for a bunker

V6 Rav 4 the engine is fantastic!

Isn't the RAV4 a car frame?

If I get an SUV, it'll have a truck frame. I don't want a station wagon with delusions of grandeur.

My SUV list is pretty short if I go that route. XTerra Off-Road, 4Runner, Grand Cherokee. And I need to test drive the Grand Cherokee, I've always found that older Jeeps felt very narrow in the drivers seat, like your knees didn't have anywhere to go. 4Runners tend to be a bit more $$ than the other two.

I would vote Jeep, since I always regretted trading mine in. Do they still have the lifetime powertrain warranty? My sister in law has an 07 Xterra, and while it is nice it just feels a little cheaply made.

I need to test drive the Jeep. From previous experience, the drivers seat was never comfortable since it was too narrow and my left knee always felt cramped.

Don't you mean your "Jee" after you read-ended my Xterra coming back from Skirmish that one night?

Hey, that car was 11 years old when I finally got rid of it. And if it wasn't for your tow hitch taking the whole hit the purple people eater wouldn't have survived

uhhh I know you can get a 350z for under 15 now granted it would be 03-05 but you said you wanted sporty, also rx-8s and s2000s as well as mustangs so there are somethings out there in your range.

I also have an 04 tacoma the 07 would be outta your price range but then again i havent looked at the values since the whole toyota debacle began.. anyways i love mine its a 4 door prerunner edition, its not 4x4 but it has an electronic diff lock standard and that has gotten me up some pretty steep hills plus this thing handles a dirt road amazingly well.

other than that id take the 4runner over the xterra just like the styling better and i believe the engines are a little stronger not including the xterra supercharged edition.
