I need to buy a new car, ~$50k budget, three kids, my son is 14 and 6ft tall, I'm 6'3. We need leather and ventilated seats. I like the Grand Highlander, but would love the Hybrid - it's too costly. I like the look of the CX90, and like the Hybrid option, but don't know enough about Mazda and reliability. I know the Telluride and Palisade aren't hybrid, but I should be able to get them cheaper than the other two. I've read the Explorer has a bumpy, unenjoyable ride. Not interested in Atlas... Help - Grand Highlander, Telluride, Palisade, CX90, what else ..read more

Hey all, I've been getting so many mixed answers. I have the wheel size listed in the title... I was told the rear is fine but that the front will require 15mm spacers. And then I also get told that it's not required it's a preference. So I figured I'd give this thread a shot to really confirm if it is needed at all. Thanks ..read more

Hi all, I was talking with a friend today, and I started reminiscing about my first car, a 1983 GTI. It was unique and I've never seen another like it. It had a badge on the back right where the usual rabbit badging would be, but it said "Bavaria." The bumpers looked more modern and came down into something like splitters, there was a little spoiler that was just of bottom edge of the hatch.
