----AND THE WINNER IS--??

-----We have looked, and looked, and gone back and looked somemore----and I do believe I have finally decided what model new car I want to have.----the Honda CRV----in Borrego Beige, or maybe Green Tea Metallic.  What I havn't decided is are the various options available----like should I go with the moonroof or not---I mean like have never had a car with a moonroof---they are kinda cool----on the otherhand I do very little driving at night??  Then there is the AWD option, (all wheel drive), like hello, guess thats a neat option if one frequently finds oneself driving in mud, or snow----not one to drive in that kind of weather----then we have to think about cloth seats, versus leather seats, do I want the GPS option, 6-disc player in the dash option---and of course the big decision---letting go of all that cash to buy a new car-----(sigh), in any case, have more or less told myself I have to make these decisions in the next few days---before the new statewide sales tax increase, and state mandated car registration cost go up on April 1st.  I'm running out of procratination time folks------my stomach hurts.  (click on the picture to make it bigger, sorry its the only pic of the CRV model I have)

  1. Lets see...you live in a very HOT place so I'd do cloth seats...you don't want your butt to melt to the leather....GPS yes...you live in a flipping desert so getting lost could be dangerous, Moon roof...hello it's 140 degrees there...you really want to let the air conditioning out? There I totally helped you make up your mind lol.

  3. AWD - you will lose mileage on each gallon of gas. Can't see as you would ever need it.

    Six CD changer - Factory installs are notoriously unreliable over time. Get the single changer. Or the cheapest one you can and then but one aftermarket and have it installed by a reliable installer.

  4. Now that is SAGE advice MRMacrum, and I will most definitely follow it----besides, not sure I even have six cds to put in the thing anyway? (lol) thats a lie, I must have several hundred CD's---but I agree with you, will think about having a cd changer put in from the aftermarket.

  7. I guess they're into the third generation body-style now. I had a '98 and LOVED it!!! I gave it up when I started hauling carpool kids around, 'cause I needed a third shoulder belt.

    Can't go wrong with a Honda at all.
