I got sandbagged. Barb wanted the Crosstour all along. The internet shopping was irrelevant once we got on the lot. As I said I just can't say no sometimes. Especially when she's right.

I just can't make myself like this model

I bet functionality is great though - I love my little Fit

I like the Crosstour. I think I'll check into it since Jerry says it has a V6. Wonder if a bike will fit inside without taking the front wheel off.

You'll have to fold the back seats down but it should fit fine if you lay it down.

We picked it up this morning and I must say this is the nicest car I've ever owned. I'm even starting to appreciate the exterior.

I'll try to post some pics tomorrow. I've got some reading to do right now.

I like the Crosstour although the exterior does take getting used to. It Is A Honda and as you say it seems to solve the power problem. I'm very happy with my Rav4 except for the swinging rear door. I bought it for power, looks and feel. Patricia I have a small slit on the side of my drivers seat also. The car is taken care of and basically babied for a daily driver too.

Headchef, I was supposed to get a call back from the service manager about the seat, yesterday. I'm not worried though. I don't see how they won't warranty it.


I drove a Crosstour today. I was disappointed. I really like the looks. It's a Honda and I like the interior, too. The only problem for me was the lack of umph in the acceleration compared to my V6 RAV4. I was ready to buy one before the test drive.
I guess I'll hang on to the RAV4 longer.

Damn thing knows both our seat and mirror preferences and learned how to open the garage door. We're gonna name him Einstein.
