How do you like the new Explorer? Been wanting to trade my wife's car in on an SUV and that seems to be a nice 3 row that can get decent mileage.

It's awesome!! We got a Limited 4WD with every option except Side assist mirrors. We also got Tuxedo Black with black leather, came with a black headliner too because of the dual panel roof.

It rides super smooth, the sync my touch is unreal and the 4wd system is top notch!

Toyota Sienna when I lived with my parents. When I lived in Japan between 2005-2010 I drove a 2000 Ford Laser 4-door touring my last two years there. Loved that little red car.

I drove a G37 Coupe and then a G37x AWD, but it was time to try something new, and so far I love it.

Garage List
Changed a VW polo for a 1 series - that really changed my mind about BMWs (used to hate them). Flirted with Audi for our 'other car' before realising I'm hooked on BMW. Driven lots of other cars, including various mercs, lexus, VAGs, citreon, toyota, peugeot, vauxhall - but nothing else does it for me.

Now awaiting delivery of an F31 330d, and have the E61 520d as the general family car.

Can't see myself stepping away from beemers ever really.

Full history of cars I've used (many belonged to my parents):
1984 VW Polo Mark II coupe - 1.05 4MT still with manual choke. Speedo only went to 100 - and we got it knocking on the end
1988 Toyota Carina II 2.0 GLI Executive
1995 VW polo Mark III hatchback - 1.6 GLX - was a beast to drive when I was still a teenager!
1998 Toyota Carina E - uninspiring
1989 Mercedes 320E
1999 VW Beetle - lime green - very eye catching
1999 Toyota Avensis
2003 Peugeot 307 1.4 HDi - loyal
2003 VW polo Mark IV 1.4 TDI 5 dr
2004 Toyota Prius
2004 Vauxhall Vectra 3.0 V6
2004 Mercedes E320 CDI
2005 BMW 120d SE
2007 Audi A3 Sportback 3.2 V6 Quattro DSG - first and last audi to grace my list.
2008 BMW 520d SE Touring
2009 VW Tiguan - very yawn
2010 BMW X5 xDrive30d SE
2011 Mercedes E350 cabriolet
2011 Mercedes E350 saloon
2012 Mercedes S350 saloon

My cars...

1997 Ford Mustang (The rental version, with the v6 and 4spd auto)
1993 40th Anniversary Chevrolet Corvette
2000 BMW 328Ci
2004 Mazda3 GT hatchback (much love)
2006 Nissan Altima SE-R (even more love)
2013 BMW 335i

Out of these, my favorites are the BMW's. The Corvette is a close second!

I had a 1993 and later a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST, then lately a 2008 Honda Civic SI. Once I bought my 1st BMW (a X1) I just decided I will never buy another brand. Waiting some more 9 days for my F20 to arrive...
