New EB’s are fine. My 2.7 uses nothing in between the 5K change.
True, and are you calling me old? I should ban you. Lol
Well, I am. My 18 is so quite and smooth. The steering is the icing on the cake though. Oh yeah, cooling heated seats. Hell, not sure what all the buttons do yet after 13 months.
The electric steering is unreal. I just move my wives Escape to cut the grass, and I’m like, nope, can’t go back.Lol. Me call you old. Maybe on a Sunday lol.
You really like that electric steering over the power steering in you OLD F150 lol. Cooling seats are sweet deal. Have them in my fusion. Never knew how much i would enjoy them till i got them.
See what happens you get spoiled. So when its time to replace that escape you will be getting a full loaded edge.The electric steering is unreal. I just move my wives Escape to cut the grass, and I’m like, nope, can’t go back.
Heck you don't have to own a house, tow or even 4x4 to have and enjoy a truck. You have the option to do those but even if you limited it to what a car is it is still crazy comfortable. It does everything a car can't do and everything a car can do. Some Trucks are HELLA fast...but anyone wanted to argue that aspect then get a car and a truck. Shame the OP had a bad experience and if he didn't need a truck I can understand that aspect and the cost savings.

Ok I lied. I would definitely love to have one of these again.

That pretty much sums it up for me. A few years back, I sold my standard cab 05 Cummins. Literally, the day I sold it, and only an hour without a truck, my wife calls to say she needs to use the truck to move some chairs and tables.I’m a rural guy, not having a truck is like not having a gun(or a few dozen)never gonna happen.
OP, you know I live in town. If you ever need anything...let me know. -Shane
Can you wrench? Pick up an old truck for hauling stuff. Buy the right one and you should have minimal problems if you dont drive it daily. I daily a small fuel efficient car, all the others are toys.
Yeah if you drive a lot and you do then understandable. I live right next door to Bosch so it literally takes me 5 minutes. Think I have like 9,000 miles and that's with 3 trips to West Florida. You do what's best for you and your family, all you can do.So as an update, day 3 of driving the handmedown Elantra. With the whole Saudi/Iran thing going on and gas potentially jumping, it appears I made a good move if gas does jump. Averaging about 32mpg to work. Filled it up monday afternoon for a whopping 20 dollars, and have easily put 75 miles on it already. It just now dropped by 1/10th of the gas gauge (it's digital with dashes). In terms of a back and forth to work, bluetooth/moonroof/power everything/heated seats/gas mileage/cold AC, I can't complain. I'll be able to go 2 weeks on 20 bucks. The F150 did 60 a week.
I think a truck is a good idea, but we can't spend money on one right now since we just dropped coin to get out of the F150 and into the Honda. It'll give me some time without and I can see if it's truly a need and not a want. If I can manage through borrowing/renting, then I may just stick with that. My old man pointed out I'd have a truck, the civic, the elantra, and the mustang. Seems a bit excessive for just two people. lol.
