For whatever reason there I thought the SEL was top of the line for whatever reason.

Where's the Eddie Bauer Limited?  :D

Now that it's been driven further than just home, how are you liking it Stodge?

I like it. It's relaxing to ride when I want to cruise around town. If I need to put my foot down there's enough power there for me. It's comfortable and with the 6 CD player I'm happy with my music choice! I gave my friend a ride and he was amazed at the room inside. He drives a Cherokee.

I just hope the suspension is up to the crappy roads we have here - there are far too many big bumps and pot-holes that I imagine I'll need new shocks in 6 months!

The more I look at the car the more I love the style.

Glad things are still going smoothly with the new car. Just out of curiosity, what kind of gas miliage are you getting?

Haven't done a whole lot of driving, so I'm only on my third fill-up. My first fill-up was after driving round Ottawa and that was 10.2L/100km, roughly based on 1) how much fuel it took and how many kms I drove and 2) the average consumption reading on the INFO centre and 3) the distance driven against fuel used on the INFO centre.

We drove to Gananoque avoiding the highway, so mostly 80km/h and driving round various small towns. We got 8.2L/100km based on the INFO centre (average consumption and litres used against distance driven).

Hope all that makes sense!

10.2L/8.2L is pretty damn good for such a big vehicle!  :thumbup:

Only because I drive like a Grandad!!  :rofl2:

Must be the Dad in me! Actually the 6 speed auto helps with that around town as it's very relaxing and I don't need much gas to stay with traffic.
