[QUOTE=BonesWK;26298]Cant get her to want a jeep. She wants something a little bigger than the KK but not a XK. I a WKII would be sweet, but the price and MPG's it would be just dumb.
My dad gets 23-25 mpg with his WKII

Before picking up our in-laws Accord we threw around the idea of trading the Liberty in for a CX7. Although I've hit 22mpg on a long highway trip, its normally around 18mpg for our daily commute.... so the extra ~10mpg had us thinking about it. And our neighbor has one, its a neat vehicle and seems like a good bang for the buck. We tried looking at slightly used ones that would be almost an even trade for the KK.

Working on cars for a living id say the cars we work on the least at our shop are Hyundai, that being said the newer Fords are hard to beat, I will say this the newer GM vehicles with the 3.6 V6 are giving some trouble(i believe mechanical problems, dont remember), but every vehicle will have its own set of problems none are perfect. Good luck!

So we drove a CX-7 last night, and she loved it as well.
Ok so we have a choice between 2 cars right now we love. We are hung up on warrranty information more than anything. As far a price is concerned, we have talked the cx-7 down to around 17k. Havent really pressed the Equinox dealer quite yet.

Opinions? Thoughts? lifetime warranties?, I know Jeep offered this as well for a short time.

Seems like a win-win. I'd look at pricing... how much will the equinox be? If that's around 25k, I'd go with the cx7.
Edit: nevermind.... the link worked after a 3rd attempt on my phone. Price is comparable. ... maybe look at which vehicle holds value better, all things being equal.

We made our purchase on Saturday
2011 cx-7 I sport w/ 8k on it
Leather, heated seats and sunroof

Honestly its not a bad little ride. Moves well for a 4cyl and decent on gas. I would recommend it.
Now to pay mine off in 5 months or less!
