Hey Guys,

Granny is seriously looking at a crossover to replace the Dodge Neon. She's looked at several including the Nissan Rogue and the VW Toureg. But, for some silly reason (can we guess why, hmmmmm) she keeps coming back to the Outlander. Anybody have any experiences with them, good or bad? Love to hear from you.

I would check Consumer Reports.

The bottom line with a new car is the warrenty and dealer service. Then of course there is resale value. Have you looked at the RAV-4 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I would take a VW over a Highlander or Outlander anyday. What about a Volvo XC90, I always thought those were cool cars. BMW X6, way expensive but sweet, you could probably buy 3 Outlanders for the price of 1.


I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.
