Not that I'm looking to buy new at all.

I can't believe they used the same platform for ten years on the current Traverse. It doesn't seem like it's been that long.....

Curious to see the pricepoint. I'm having flashbacks already to the Kia experience with my BIL/SIL, though.

@tifighter had a much better experience at a dealer a bit further away, so perhaps it was just this one franchise.

Now, if they could just get their customer service act together, they may just be onto something.
I know it's crazy, but tomorrow will be the 3rd week my CTS has been in the shop.
In fact, that same dealer has a Durango I like. I may give them another shot - if anyone will step up on the Sedona, I'd imagine it's them.

28firefighter - the thing is, Kia should be past the grind-it-out on a 4-square on paper stage by now. Shame on them...they'll lose you as a customer potentially, and, perhaps anyone you feel like sharing the experience with. With more volumes up that shouldn't be happening, really.

Innocuous, in other words. Wouldn't want to own one, but for the four of us, it will do.

Also, had the tires balanced and rotated at Discount Tire last week, and they said the TPMS sensors all check out fine, although on long trips, the TPMS light will randomly come on. Could just be one of them getting a low battery (but not completely dead).
The Murano is still a great vehicle, will hit the one year anniversary here in a couple of months. Not looking to get rid of it anytime soon unless there's a killer lease deal on a full-size truck that will bury the negative equity I have.

I'm tempted to go look at it, but that would be a bad idea. It's bigger than I need but it has to be more reliable than the Touareg......
You can make "anything" work. A Fit will satisfy 90% of your daily driving needs. You could rent an SUV or Minivan for weekend/vacation trips. Having an SUV is just so much easier.

I know an SUV is more practical it is just that as nice as ours is we really just prefer a car. It's probably wishful thinking on my end. By the time the kids are out strollers I'll probably have to lug around sports stuff, etc.

Personally, I like having enough cargo space for baby stuff (when they're young) and the sports stuff (as they get older) so that I'm not having to be too creative in cramming everything in. When I shopped the 428i GC, I actually did a rough measurement of the cargo area to make sure the boys' huge baseball bags would fit without much trouble.
I agree with @nyccarguy - most reasonably sized cars will work; but sometimes having extra space comes in handy.

If I could find a nice one like that, I'd consider one. I imagine it's one of those where you'd have pretty minimal depreciation, like a 4Runner or Tacoma.

Thankfully my job is allowing me to move this spring, so that will be my focus for the next few months.
@breld and @michaell I'll be in touch via PM about moving your way!
If you run your tires at a pressure higher than spec (I typically run 35 PSI on my cars) intentionally, then perhaps it is just a range tolerance issue and therefore "working as intended."
