Re: what to drive - v 5.0

I want to mount a TV above the bed on the ceiling so that when I am in bed I can just open my eyes and watch TV. Denise says no cause it will fall and kill me durning the night.

back on track here: drive the Greenie!

I thought you have more than that.
Why don't you have options such as
rent a car, flight, train and walk this time?

I voted of your 92 5mt, if not, your Kia optima, not a bad car too.
i think just five polls. i left out the other options because i wanted an honest opinion this time, not just some excitement in our little forum.

glad to hear you say it nate. i rarely drive the kia, but i recently owned three cars from it's parent company hyundai. if a sonata came in awd with the 3.3L V6, i probably wouldn't even look at a legacy 3.6R. that being said, i'm suprised i don't own a santa fe.

Re: what to drive - v 5.0

well, my buddy and i went to the colorado rockies game last night and he wanted to ride his bicycle downtown and asked me to drive the forester yesterday so he could but his bike in the back and give him a ride home. i don't drive it to and from work very often, but i must say, it's not the most comfortable car on longer drives. i'm pretty sure that we won't be taking this car unless one of our friends from bowling asks if they can drive with us.

Re: what to drive - v 5.0

I took my mom's Forester to Seattle and back last summer. It wasn't too bad, comfort wise, and definitely got better mileage and had a lot more room than my 00 Legacy GT. (Good thing I didn't take my LGT, seeing how the engine died not too long after.)

I was actually really surprised at how quick and responsive the throttle was on that Forester. I'm intrigued by the idea of having a turbocharged one.

which model of forester? i had an SF before this SG and it was very comfortable. i only had an 00 legacy gt and it was far more comfortable than the 05 LGT i had.

Re: what to drive - v 5.0

Its an 05 I believe. Just a base model, nothing fancy. Was just the right size for me, my son and all of our camping gear though.
