well it was time to trade her 02 f150 for something a little bigger so it was between a new porshe cayane, suburban or this and though i wanted the cayane she went with the expedition. what do u guys think?

 

woulda stuck with a truck. if you needed bigger the tundra 4 door or dodge mega cab. the cayene wouldn't have been any bigger, but deffinitely a step up. not digging the wheels on the expedition. other than that looks aight.

 

wtf..?

 

yea i deff woulda gone with the cayenne but the expeditions are nice none the less...throw some D's on that....ha ha

 

the way bigass suv's are being offloaded, you likely picked it up for $15,000

 

it was originally 49,000 we got it for 34,000. and about the gas it gives pretty good gas milage it takes a total of $140 to fill the tank but the tank will last u 530 miles. the wifey works like 4 miles from the house so we are not that worried about the gas and i drive my police car to work so my rx8 gets driven maybe 100 miles a month if anything so theres no gas expense coming from my car....

 

as long as you can afford the gas, kudos to you.

Getting 10 mpg city, and maybe 15-16 on the highway isn't my cup of tea. Bad enough seeing sub-20's on the rx-8

 

its really not the distance that you can drive on one tank. i recently saw a (i believe it was a ford) commercial that dissed a mazda6 because their car could drive further on one tank of gas. so what? the gas tank is bigger. the money is still the same. distance on one tank = no value. mpg = value.

anyway, your wife made a poor choice. if you are going to get a gigantic gas guzzling suv you might as well do it in style.

a ford is a ford... a porsche is a porsche. i dont think more needs to be said. but hey, people like staying at the level they grew up on. so whatever floats her boat.

 

the porshe was cool but the maintenance was going to kill me and it was a little to small. gas millage for the expedition is 18 hwy and 12 city. i get 13 city and 17 hwy on the 8.

 

Porsche vs. Expidition? WTF? It's your car but you could have gotten one with 10k on the odometer and saved 10k.

 

It looks huge!

 

well i agree with u guys about the porshe but its not for me its for the wife and thats what she wanted so there you go. shes a country girl so that should explain the choice....

 

so - your wife is a big woman is she ?




sorry - couldn't resist .....

 

hell no... she just likes big trucks

 

i am coming down for a track day in a while..

please tell your wife not to run over me and my car, or kick my ***!

beers

 

where and when

 

So why do you need such a big SUV?

 

finally my chance to bash an suv over the internet. i totally dislike it and thinks its unnecessary. its ******* huge!!! what does she need that for, to carry 7ft basketball players in? even the chevy aveo commercial tried to debunk that. wtf is it for?? rx8 is a road driving performance car used on streets. suvs were made for other purposes...****.

 

Holy hell! You need to pop a xanax or 2!

 

don't know why this thread is in the 8 multimedia section but w/e. Great lookin SUV and I bet you're glad you got a steal for it

 

1. we need a big truck that can pull a boat
2. we have kids and it is a bitch to go anywhere with all the **** that kids require
3. we go up 3 times a year to the mountains so we needed a4x4.
4. she fu***ng likes it.

lol. Don't take it personally.

I recall seeing a poll that said women were far more likely to be interested in a man who drove a politically correct battery powered hybrid than a sports car.

In this kind of environment, you need thick skin to post that you bought a giant SUV.

 

We went from a large SUV to a 2008 Mazda Tribute 4cyl, Going from large to this size was an easy transition for my wife. She loves the Tribute and burning regular gas is great in these times. We have already taken it on a trip and is easy to drive and quite comfortable. We have bought all types of Mzdas over the years with one exception and have done quite well with reliability and satifaction.
929 - 3 - 626's, RX-8 and Tribute.

 

Well congrats on the vehicle , as long as shes happy right? You're a good man my friend....a good man. (especially since you could've bought a porsche) but lets leave that aside , atleast you got her what she wanted. lol.

 

Frankcastle - You should've considered buying an Hummer H1 Alpha. Doesn't get much bigger, badder, and Americana than that. Plus you could haul your family, boat, house, and an oil rigger.

IMO, Porsche SUVs are a for blue tooth toting posers.
