TaborJet Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 6-cylinder Mustangs make great chick cars. But for a family, the Murano looks nice. You will be doing all the driving in said new vehicle? Make sure to get super-duty shocks for the passenger side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor99 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Don't waste your money on that foreign garbage. Buy yourself a Chrevy Tahoe Right, and then buy another one in 4 years when it falls apart. The Murano is an excellent choice. The CVT is one of the coolest new technologies out there. There are an infinite number of gears, so no shifting and none of the jerking that comes with it.

joewilly Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 are u saying that bmw is not priced reasonably???? 2 friends of mine have the bmw. one went with the full pkg & paid outrageous $$$ for it. the market is different here than in the states but with all cars being imported, the jump from us to german imports isn't that significant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Jet Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I have been curious about the CVT trans. Do you know how good those belts inside the trans are holding up? It might be too new a technology to tell. Mopar has a CVT tranny on the newer models. I rented a Dodge Caliber with one in Vegas last week. Put 840 miles on it in 6 days and it ran flawless. Didn't really feel that much of a difference since the little womans Caravan shifts so smoothly it feels the same as a CVT box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
