Yeah, I'm looking at 2011-2012s as well. However determining whether or not it has the Sports diff is the hard part over the Internet. Do you have an easier method than what other people are saying requires an in person visit to look under the rear/check out the dynamic drive options in the MMI?
rofl. dude lives in north texas / dallas. driving around here is like driving through 2-3 states in other places.
bro I wasn't even paying attention to that.
They are not banning sales of Tesla, they are trying to ban DIRECT BRICK AND MORTAR company stores selling Teslas. EG Tesla store, owned by Tesla, selling Teslas.
If you can't out accelerate touring sedans and full size trucks how do you keep from getting run over?
We test drove a Murano and a CX-9, and I really liked the Murano. Out of all the vehicles we test drove (Murano, Rogue, CX9, CX5, Escape, Edge, Santa Fe, and others) we probably liked the Murano the best out of all of them. It just felt the nicest to drive, most comfortable, and great features. Unfortunately, a decked out Murano was like 10 grand more than our 2nd favorite Hyundai Santa Fe. Had money been no object I would have gone with the Murano out of all of those, but we didn't like it so much more that it was worth paying ~35K compared to the Sante Fe's ~25K price. We were happy to take our 2nd favorite for 1/3 less on the price. Had it only been a couple thousand difference we would have ponied up for the Murano, but the price difference was just too significant to justify it for something that just felt a little nicer, there really wasn't anything glaringly better. In fact, the Sante Fe had a much better warranty and gas mileage. Money-wise, it just made more sense.
Honestly, that's one of my reasons for only considering SUVs or trucks. Here in the wide-open midwest, EVERYONE drives a bigass pickup or bigass SUV. You almost never see little smart cars, or priuses or fiats or minis, those types of cars. If you got into a high-speed accident, you're about 1000% more likely to be hitting a giant F250 than you are a little prius or civic. Vehicle size is definitely a factor when safety is concerned. Missouri typically has some of the cheapest gas in the country, so people still buy giant gas-guzzlers without blinking an eye. You'll easily see 10 GMC Yukon Denalis or Cadillac Escalades for every prius you see.
I miss missouri gas prices. Like $3.40 in KC area now, gas is like $4.35 in Indy right now for some stupid reason.
Multiple regional refinery shutdowns or partial shutdowns. Two are in seasonal turn arounds that ran long and a 3rd is having an emergency repair shutdown.
Yeah, when I drive my girlfriend's 4 Runner, I feel like I'm in a damn tank compared to my tiny Z. That said, I don't mind being close to the ground, since I can easily be ahead of all those SUVs and trucks! I'm 6' tall so it is kind of bitch getting in and out of.
There's basically nothing in that recall that has anything at all to do with reliability. Unless you're claiming that other cars are somehow more reliable when struck from the rear, which is not the commonly accepted definition of reliability.
