Is it a 2-door ?

"Door" refers to passenger entry/exit doors, and does not include trunks, hatchbacks, hoods, or other access doors.

Is it bigger than a breadbox? Oh, wait... it's a car. Is it man made? Oh, wait... it's a car. :dunno: Looks like I don't know how to play this game (and yeah, I'm really, really bored.)

Hey -- those weren't real questions, and you know it! :crash:

If memory serves, I know you've got a NB Miata, an Audi SUV of some sort, and an M3 (of what year I dunno.)
You mis-spelled "Mazda."

Eff, you have a CX9 or 7? How do you like it? The 7 is on the list of vehicles that might eventually replace my MX-5.

A smart man.

Actually, after she test drove it, she said, "I'd be very happy to have this car".

Tribute aka Ford Escape. 626 frame, Taurus 200 pony V-6. AWD.

My first AWD, my first SUV.

Love the AWD in snow/ice/rain. LOVE the hauling ability and according to Ford literature it's got a roomier rear seat then any of their other SUVs including the big a one. But it's kinda a bore. Zero soul. If I had it to do over again...something with more soul.

Way to go Newsboy, you eliminated 1 car from the list of possibilities, haha.

I'm waiting for the answer to Matthew before my next question.

I've rented the Escape a bunch of times, and the latest generation CR-V. The CR-V is orders of magnitude better. Better steering and suspension feel, softer while also more agile and responsive, much better ergos, nary a bad thing to say about it. Try it, you'll like it.

The Forester is another good choice.

Agreed on the Honda SUV.

One standard trick with the Tribute it to put the tires to 38 lbs. But by no means do I recommend it, unless someone want a decent MPG (hybrid) SUV.

It's boring but hauls lots.

I eff'ed up here. I was joking around with Newsie on the 3 cylinder and never actually said no.

I assumed he would catch on...

But the outside is ugly. Not that I particularly care because it's a rental, and I don't have to look at the outside.

Added a Smart ForTwo Convertible to the mix. Got tired of driving past Smart car spots in NYC.
