We are getting a new car at the end of the month. Suggestions?
« on: October 15, 2010, 05:35:34 PM »
I am a Honda fan. I would love to keep buying Hondas forever. I like the CRV, but my husband doesn't care for it. The Pilot is too big for me. I also like the Nissan Murano a lot. We did have a Nissan Maxima once, and I liked it. I also like the look of the Mazda CX-7, but I've never owned a Mazda and don't know much about them.

Anyone have experiences with any of these? I want a mid-size SUV. I am open to trying other cars, even though I know Hondas rock.

Toyota 4Runner!  :-)  Just test drive one and see if you like it.

Probably gonna stay away from the Toyotas even though my mom just got a Camry (hopefully she can brake when she needs to  :o). I am just a little iffy since they had their issues. My husband's work vehicle is a Toyota. I did drive the Rav-4, but I hated it. The 4Runners are pretty though.

I have a Toyota truck, so does hubby. This whole town has them. No complaints. We live in the woods and with the snow we need the 4x4 .

F-350 Ford Dually is what real conservative women should be driving.

If you can't run over a DUmmie, at least hog the road in front of them....we need the bouncies.

I am going to safe and reliable, and I'd like it to look good, but that is last of my concerns.

New or new used? Neighbor bought a Pilot used. She says she has paid more for upkeep than anything. She used to have a Subaru. The next door neighbor bought a Forester. 2nd one. She loves it drives the heck out of it.

I am not sure. I prefer a little used because it makes more sense to me money wise.

My aunt has a Pilot and she loves it. She hasn't had to put any money into it besides oil changes. But still, it is bigger than I want. Sometimes I travel a good bit with my job, so gas mileage is a biggie for me too. The Pilot sucks in that aspect.

Gummint Motors?  :rotf:

I drove a 2011 Ford Fusion this past week (it was a brand-new rental). Not bad when it's got less than 1,000 miles on it, but how will it behave when it's got 80K on the clock?

I don't trust 'em.

And don't even talk to me about Chrysler products.

I love Hondas. I've had several, my mom has had several, my brother had one, my aunts and cousins have all had them as well. I currently have an Infiniti FX (2nd one) and have had a Murano too. I loved it. My vote is a Murano.  

I have also had two Ford Expeditions. They are huge but I liked driving them.

Nothing at all. I have owned a Honda, and really once you've owned one, that is all you want.

If I were to get an American car, it wouldn't be a Dodge though. My mom had one, and my uncle has one. Neither have had decent experiences. I am only stating the cars that I like the looks of (Mazda and Nissan). I really do want another Honda though.

The look of the Murano is my fave. I love it. And we've had a Nissan and it lasted almost 15 years. My husband likes Nissans, and he likes the fact that they use Bose. I don't care about the radio. As long as I can hear it, I am good.

Mrs E drives a 2000 Honda Accord. It's got almost 170K on the clock and it's still running strong. (Note to self- she needs another oil change, and it's not too soon to start thinking about the timing chain/water pump/serpentine belt project. Oh, and the platinum spark plugs, too.)

My husband has an Infinti G37 (coupe), he had Ford F-150's up until he bought the Infiniti. He is going back to Ford, he is getting a Ford Raptor. My step dad works for a Ford dealership and can get special pricing. He is going to get it in the next few months. We checked them out the other weekend, it is so nice on the inside. We want to start camping and my husband wants to get 4 wheelers so he is getting a truck again. He never seemed to fit the G37, he has always been a truck kind of guy.

My parents bought me a 1997 Accord when I turned 21. It had 25,000 miles on it. I still have that car. 240,000 miles later, and it is still kicking strong. I have another car, but we are going to trade in the Honda. Probably won't get much at all for it, but I've never once had an issue with it that wasn't maintenance related. I am hoping to get at least a grand for it. It is in great shape (minus the age and mileage). Last year, a guy offered to buy it from me. Just seeing it at the store, he asked if I'd sell it. They are good cars.

I really like the Buick Enclave. I think it is pretty. I don't know much about Buicks though. I don't know what they cost either. I think they may be more than we want to pay though. If they are closer to 40 grand, that is too much. Just browsing, it looks like they are pricy.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
