Best Mid Size SUV

[poconoceancity]

I'm looking to get something before the PA season starts in November. After test driving everything, I don't love anything. What should I buy? I don't care about cost or gas mileage.

[poconoceancity]

How is the new expedition compared to the old ones. We just got rid of an 07 expedition for a 15 Tahoe. That's why I'm looking for a mid size. I did like the explorer sport.

[poconoceancity]

I didn't even think of Volvo. I will check them out.

70 looks like a wagon, 90 is better but the 2015 doesn't come out till spring. I want something in less than 60 days when the PA season starts.

The best skiers on the mountain drive 4runners

That TRD Pro looks nice Mbike. What do the best 40 year old snowboarders drive?

Had a new explorer as a rental in Utah two seasons ago that was quite nice. Plenty of room for 5 + gear, not horrendous on gas, comfy seats, the whole nav/Bluetooth deal, and what seemed like decent 4wd. I wouldn't take one over a Toyota, Subaru or Volvo in serious snow, but it was a pretty nice vehicle for a week.

4runner.  hands down best vehicle i ever owned.  Sold it with 160k on the odo..i still see it running around.  The 2 Exploders we had here at work never made it past 100k, before they were junk.  Shit just fell off of them randomly, bizarro electrical issues.

[poconoceancity]

I'm definitely checking out the toyotas and volvos.

I have had a ford my last 4 vehicles and have been very happy with them. Right now I have an Edge but admit it's cramped when I take boys and their friends skiing with all the gear. May have to look into a Thule box for the top. The Explorer was the perfect size.

Cayenne...if you don't care about price.

There's a new edge redesign coming this fall I'll check it out.

I like trains choo choo

 

Me too. Here's three old PBNE engines running the IM yard in bethlehem yesterday.

Volvo XC60.  Comfortable seats for long drive, plenty of storage options, good sound system and solid AWD system.  Go for the turbo.

I like it root. Lots of cool features like adaptive cruise control.

new subarus have most of those features as well. iSight is absolutely awesome

Are the 15 edges out yet? I think they are a re-design.

I just hit a full grown deer with my 2012 Honda Pilot around 2:30 today, and the car was driveable.

[poconoceancity]

I hope you're alright moe. That's a plus in my book.

Well that's a stoke stomper.

[moe ghoul]

Thanks, I'm ok, it happened in the last place I'd expect about 5 blocks from my house. I was driving slow anyway, so the deer took a skid and tumble on the street after we hit and then ran off. Hoping it didn't get banged too hard and recovers, not some slow painful death. But the front end got banged up, so I'm off to the body shop tomorrow morning. Another $500 up in smoke for a deductible.

I hit one with my XC60 March 2012. Volvo's are like tanks. I didn't feel any impact when I hit it. I saw the creature fly through the air, but I still had to get out of the car to be sure. It was weird.

 

Then I felt bad that I couldn't shoot it. [emoji379]

I drove the new ml 350 today. It's very nice. The new C class caught my eye. It's not a ski car, but it would be fun to have. Decisions, decisions, decisions?
