I will survive, in my Mach 5... · 2008-08-06 18:41
No updates in awhile, work has been hectic, blah blah blah whatevs.
Here’s what I need from you guys: I have to order a new company car, and I’m kinda stuck on what to get. Here are the choices:
Technically, I could also get a Dodge Grand Caravan, but as Timbo said, I “don’t need to be toolin’ around in that thing.” I agree, so it’s off the list.
Now, here’s what I think. The Journey is a ugly-ass crossover dealy, but it has a shit-ton of storage space and is fairly roomy. It also has a “Chill-Zone”, which is fucking lame. The Malibu gets great mileage and is a dece looking car, but has less space than my current car. The Forester is an ugly-ass wagon-type thing, but has plenty of storage and is also all-wheel drive.
My main concerns are comfort [since I spend so much time in the car] and storage room for all my work-stuff. I think all vehicles have an aux jack for the mp3 player, so I’m covered there.
Lemme know what you think.
We are young but getting old before our time... Hey, you ain't as dead as you seem...
I love talking cars. I would eliminate the ugly Forester simply because most of its reviews frown at the mpg. There were less complaints about the mpg on the Journey. It’s comfortable and it has space. The Malibu has the mpg but no space. So, there you have it

In your line of work I would think it would go like this

Who gives a shit what it looks like.
Personally I would get the forester. I think we put too much emphasis on how are cars look, how “cute” they are. They are machines. They need to function for you. Also, I like All Wheel Drive.

HA! my hubby was correct. I was coming here to vote forrester, but apparently tman beat me to it.
I vote forrester because it looks like a good size vehicle for you and when we have to get in your car, we can just chuck your crap over the seat instead of transferring it to the trunk the hard way.

I just said no to the Forester because there were more complaints on the mpg than the Journey. The Journey has space too. I could care less which one ya pick. I’m just trying to help.
