Are you really 26, you look much younger

Sweet car I guess, wouldn't be my first choice given the money, but looks good for an SUV. happy motoring!

Well, i forgot to mention I'm a midget....lol. Nah, that's my youngest brother, I'm the oldest. And i needed something luxurious, sporty, all weather capable, and i really like the looks of it. Its perfect for my commutes to miami, and also to the mountains of north carolina (thus the al weather capability). And it drives very well, very quick, and turns more than well enough for the mountains i drive through.

Congrats, many miles without even a scratch

DeMoN · 01-31-2006, 07:18 PM

You like that more than a BMW X5?

Honda_PoD · 01-31-2006, 09:37 PM

well its lacking the luxo part but the Subaru forster XT with the STI engine in it

thats an SUV that can move

I drove the SRX myself about a year back and thought it handled great for an SUV - it could have done wiht a thicker steering wheel though. Otherwise it was superb just like the X5

Watch out for those exploding sunroofs when on the freeway.

SilviaEvo · 01-31-2006, 10:01 PM

wouldnt be my first choice either but pretty good nonetheless

@ DeMoN: I really do like the X5, except its overpriced, out dated, and too small for the stuff i carry. Also, surprisingly, my cadillac handles better than the X5 did (INCLUDING the 4.4i).

@ARMAN: lol, when i took these pictures, i had first bought the car. I've been to busy and too lazy to post pictures, so what you see is the brand new car. Even so, it doesnt have any scratches, dents, dings, etc. (i baby my cars, but i drive them hard)

EDIT: ok, maybe I didnt drive the old lex hard, but who does?

@sameerrao: likewise, i really do like it better than any of the sport tes i tested, except for the dash, which is a bit plasticky. I guess im not used to it, since ive been driving a lexus around.

BTW, when i traded in my lexus, it had 34,256 miles on the clock, not bad for an '02.

@ Minacious: Gee, thanx, i actually have that option. GOD, i LOVE that sunroof, and whenever i tae out friends, they can all enjoy it, except for the poor souls cramped in the third row, lol.

@Mopar_turbo: I wish they sold the Forester STI here in the US, but even if they did, I'd still need something comfortable for my long commutes.

nice SUV the looks are cool....But stil what about the VW tuareg, i like the looks and luxsury more

dingo · 02-08-2006, 07:23 AM

Looks nice, congrats.

Is there a particular reason you bought an SUV instead of something more sporty?

You seem to fit the profile of a Florida drug runner moving merchandise up to the gateway to the east coast...

Always interesting to learn how people finiance their car habits....
