Car upgrade

juliejujubean · 01-16-2012, 04:39 PM

In a little over a year, my warranty will be out on my ford focus. So i want to upgrade to a suv. Im really interested with the new ford escape coming out this year. I think it will be good to carry my dia and soon to be my angel. And have other people in the car. Any body have an escape with 2dogs? How does it work for you?

I already feel cramped in my car! Because of my pet seat cover she is basically the only one who goes in the back seat. Just too dirty otherwise.

a friend of mine just got an escape, she seems to have lots of room in the back, and the seats lay flat..she likes it

Warrior, your grand am reminds me when my husband came home with a grand prix! brand spankin new, he forbid me to allow the dogs in it LOL..I said "get rid of it" we did and he bought a van

We're going to be upgrading sometime in the future to a Kia Sorrento. We never gave Kia a second glance until my DH got a really inexpensive 2002 Optima. 2002 was supposed to be one of their not-so-great-just-beginning years, with the really good cars coming after 2005. 117k miles later, he still loves his Kia and the 2012 Sorrento looks fantastic, plenty of room for the dog and all our stuff. I'd look into it if you're on a tight budget

We have the 2010 Escape. More than enough room for two dogs.

I'm amazed. I never thought that a car being out of warrantee was a reason to sell it and get another. That's probably because I only have had one vehicle that was under warrantee when I owned it! It was a year old then and I am still driving it close to 20 years later.
I did have a rental focus this summer and I was very happy with it's zip when I needed zip. It was also a comfortable drive. Maybe you could rent a vehcile for a weekend before committing to buy it?

Well im not getting a new one necause if warranty, im just getting it being as i need a little more space an i figure i will keep it until my warranty is up.
But that is a great idea. I never thought if renting before buying. I have never driven a suv only small cars so that will help for sure

One thing i have learned though. I want leather :P
