DH had an accident the other night on the autobahn and pretty much totaled his car (not his fault, he was rear ended). Now we're in the market for a new one since the insurance company even says it won't be worth it to repair the damages. We were going to get a new car soon anyway, but we just weren't expecting it to be this soon!
Anyway, right now we've got an X5 on loan (that I like very much, but it's an older model!) and we went out looking this morning.
Here's what we've got on our list so far:
Toyota Land Cruiser
Positives:
-automatic, meaning both of us would be able to drive
-relatively roomy with a 3rd row back seat option
Negatives:
-takes Super fuel which is VERY expensive
-quite large and the trunk space isn’t that great.
-Wasn’t really a fan of the test drive
Price: [FONT="]60.064 EUR
[/FONT][FONT="] Lexus RX 400h Executive
[/FONT] Positives:
-Hybrid car, good for the earth and good for our wallet
-Automatic
-Pretty!
-Nice test drive
Negatives:
-Backseat seems tight with a carseat in it.
-Trunk isn’t as roomy as we’d like
-Can’t hear it when it turns on, and backs up and I think this could be dangerous
Price: [FONT="]61.000 EUR
BMW X5
Mmmm, yummy!
[/FONT] Positives:
-Diesel!
-3rd row seating
-DVD player included
-Heads up display
-Lots of room
Negatives:
-Most expensive of the group
-Didn’t drive as nicely as the Lexus IMO, but DH says it drove great
Price: [FONT="]67.000 EUR
[/FONT]
We got to test all of these cars (and then some) and have pretty much narrowed it down to these few...But now we're lost. We don't know any people who have actually had these cars, so we don't know that types of experience others have had with them.
Any help?
