How do you like it so far? I own a 2001 Durango SLT AWD with the 4.7L V-8. Been a (mostly) reliable tank for me - kind of drives like one though. Still in great shape with low (104k) mileage. I've considered a new Grand Cherokee or new Durango to replace my Gen 1.

I test drove the Buick Lacrosse the other day for a $100 gift card offer I had sitting around...the drive is really good..better than my 2011 Accord EXL V6. But the exterior esthetics are just hideous...i just can't imagine driving it...
I only have 4 more months remaining till 2011 Accord lease is up...gotta find something soon.

Between me and my wife we have a 2010 escalade, 2014 rdx, 2006 scion tc, and 2003 rsx. I'm 30 and she's 27. My rsx is my beater. The escalade was my daily till I bought both the rsx and rdx a month ago. My wife drives the rdx, and the tc will probably be given to a relative that needs wheels. I wrecked my 07 g35 and had to buy a SUV for something safer.... Also sold my Toyota supra turbo for extra money which eventually turned to a rdx.

We gave the highest insurance rates in the nation over here in Louisiana. but the more cars you have, the cheaper those extra cars are... I think I pay 50 bucks a month for my RSX, 100 a month for the RDX, and 150 a month for the esky...

I thought the depreciation is so steep during the first 3-4 yrs that you pretty much have to keep the car for at least 5 yrs before trading it in for a new one.

You will always lose money, that's the thing about cars. "New" cars are a poor investment. For instance I bought my esky 3 years ago for over 70k, when I find the next car I want, I'll probably only get about 30k out of it.... But I knowingly go into it knowing my car will only be worth half of what I pay for it a couple years in. It's a luxury being able to own cars, and more so new cars. So stay within your budget and you will be fine. Also leasing is great for swapping out cars but what if you pay that high monthly rate and you don't see anything you like, than you either buy that car for the super high residual or go into another lease. It'll be an endless cycle of bills anyways. I would lease if I owned a company and can write it off....

I understand your point but in that case wouldn't leasing that same car for 3 yrs be a cheaper option?

Wife drives 2014 RDX most of the time. I have a 2012 MDX Tech. We bought the RDX with the Tech package mainly to get the HID headlights, fog lights and power hatch. The Nav we really don't need. Our 2008 RDX base had the HID's and fog lights. I couldn't believe they dropped those items off the 2013 and 2014 base models.

As far as autos, I LOVE the TL. It is a fun car to drive with plenty of speed to burn, and I would suspect with the new TLX coming out you could get a good deal on the TL when your lease is up. Just a thought.
