ZachEY Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 1 hour ago, SAR I said: It's a few years down the road but BMW is introducing an X7 which would be a full-sized minivan replacement disguised as an SUV, will be the cool-kids car in the school parking lot. Truth is, love the X5, but the Honda Odyssey is still the best family car we've ever owned. Took me awhile to get over the stigma, but the thing was a beast, carried everything, all 7 passengers sat in full comfort with gobs of space, electric doors made ingress/egress painless, never cared if it got a ding or a scratch. Sounds like blasphemy, but something you should consider. SAR I Haven't sat in an Odyssey, but Asian cars are tough because I'm tall with long legs. Ford Edge is a pretty solid affordable family car until Telsa Time though! But we'll see. My MC is still getting the job done for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine, but we have an 8-month-old, and when you put in an infant car-seat, the front passenger seat becomes unusable because of how far the seat needs to be put forward to accommodate the car seat. When we travel, my wife sits in the back seat, behind me, with the baby. Not that we have any immediate plans, but my fear is that a second child makes the car obsolete. My limited experience is that at least this luxury SUV is more luxury than SUV. is that with all car seats or just some brands? we tested it out a couple of years ago and didn't run into this problem. get the MDX. sure it's not as good as the ML/GL/X5 but its' a great ride and lots of room. plus, it has buillt in dvd with wireless headphones. priceless.

My friend works at Mercedes and he has yearly 2 car allowence for Employee Discount. He used one for me this year and I am picking it up Friday.

Maxman Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 It is funny that you say that @JiF. I just met with the seller, the guy is so nice. He was away when I picked it up so he did a formal hand off, showed me some things with the RV etc. Really cool dude. Anyhow...he says oh when you have this thing at the stadium, random people will just try to use your bathroom. I have seen that with the Harley RV...people randomly just try to go inside and use your bathroom. Not happening. Duane is on the scene! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Been driving this around a little bit, spending a ton of time getting familiar with how everything works. So damn happy with this purchase. Driving it is so much fun. Having outlets outside...yeah my car needs that. Just plug a TV in when you are parked, that's good stuff. Getting it washed tomorrow, I should wash it myself just really pressed for time right now. I hope the Jets make Sunday even better with a win.
