Tom..you live on the Island now. No need to for awd or 4wd.

At the same price point you have the Kia and Hyundai lines which have a superior service culture and are IMHO better appointed
Oh and from my view point the added benefit of having not been made by the UAW.

Agreed, I never felt I needed all that anyway. my accord does better in the snow than the santa fe does anyway. I just want to make sure it has alittle oomph to it for the fewer track days i will be doing, and then for carrying all the "stuff" we will soon be accumulating. I still have the trailer too so maybe I can attatch the car seat to that for when he starts getting on my nerves. he will like the wind blowing through his hair.

prolly some time in late sept/early oct we will start test riding a few and get a feel for prices and whats there for financing then maybe pull the trigger on something.

Thats the best bet. Test drive anyone your half interested in and then see what feels best to you. I remember being at a car show and I sat in a Land Rover which I like but my step father felt cramped in the drivers seat. We sat in something different and I was still good but like the Land Rover better, but he was in heaven in that seat.

For me its doubly important since I am 6'4, and some cars are much better than others with leg and headroom. Oddly enough when I bough tthe accord in 2000 the jappanese cars had more space than most of hte american cars I sat in.

6'4 all torso or all Leg?

Wife has that problem (therefore I have that problem) since she's 6'2 all leg.

You buying new or used?
