She rode in it and she like it, it had enough functionality for her just by observing. We had planned on wiping out a portion of my savings and she was bringing her money that she's had since she was a pharmacist in Japan. We wanted absolutely no payments to make on her car since my $650 for my car is more than enough.
So she liked the Outlander GT, but as I drove it and then eventually the costs of the maintenance for very frequent oil changes started pissing me off, even if they were cheap, just the time needed to take the day off to go do it rather than being at home chugging beer, playing Xbox or going somewhere with my family. The thing that pisses me off the most(besides lack of torque) is the touch screen Nav, it sucks and even some of its functionality isn't as good as the iDrive in mine. With military and customer loyalty I should be able to get good rebates besides the other stuff that they offer at Concord BMW. I got 4500 miles to go before my next service period so I'm gonna see if I can take her and while we wait just ask to test drive one.  |
its ok, i had the same situation with the 4runner v8 limited just traded-in. it had everything we needed, but after wife sat in the X5, she had to admit it is much nicer and i just did the rest of my job to make it happened and sat in the garage =)
dont wait for the next service, there's always other excuses to take her to the dealership
