    I was looking for one when I found my E46 sedan. I was hoping for a wagon though, they're just really thin on the ground if you want an XI.

    Xi would be the way to go to get up our road in the winter.

    Yeah ultimately when I found the one I have now the XI was the big seller, that and the fact that it was kept nice and clean. It was one of those where you grudgingly go to look at it and then you end up falling in love with it. But sometimes I do wish I got the wagon, not enough sport wagons on the road these days. Also that picture you posted convinced me that I need to go find a set of those 535xi wheels and get a ZHP bumper

    huh interesting. Haven't looked at those. Wonder what "good mileage" is.

    No idea what that is. Need to look it up.

    Yeah if owning one wasn't so expensive. Devin puts on a LOT of miles so hard to swallow the European car life. But really only option if I want a wagon.

    Had though about a jetta tdi wagon too.

    As a single male who loves speed and performance, I still lust for the current gen sienna. The top trim models are incredibly nice. I seriously want one but have zero justification for it.

    We have reports of a middle-aged man with an extremely long camera lens parked in a residential area. Local children claim he invited them to pet his dog... Actually the sports mobile probably gives off creepier vibes than the legit minivan. Unless it was a Chrysler Town and country in which case they would have just executed you on the spot

    I just admire how purpose built they are. Brilliant in my mind. I think it caters to real needs better than the TRD bro trucks.

    Yeah not good enough for how much she drives. Gets 38-45mpg now.

    Mini vans are crazy now for sure. Plus super useable.

    It's also desert race season so they might be busier than usual

    I hear what youre saying but also, why put an email contact on your website if you don't respond to it. Do they not want my money? I laid out my situation and what I need very methodically, more so than can be effectively communicated via phone call.

    This is true. It's hard to create an auto reply email too stating that responses are delayed for that reason :rolleyes: luckily I'm not in a tight spot needing the suspension NOW. My tires are at the wear bars so I got some mileage left LOL

    ADS is going through some changes. Tyler, who we've all worked with for years, has left to start his own business. The guy who replaced him, Joel, isn't quite as communicative.

    Give them a call though and ask for Joel. (520) 748-0005 ext 6811. When you do get him, he's a super nice dude.

    I thought you said you wanted faster service? Surely there are spam filters for anything from a name like that?!?

    Fam of four road trip to CO from WI this summer in the 2017 2.5 outback was pretty comfortable with all our stuff. 30+ mpg trip average. I'm not a Subaru guy at all but it was plenty enjoyable. It didn't break any records over and through the Eisenhower tunnel but I didn't buy it for fun.

    Sometimes it is great to appreciate when something is just good at what it does, no frills. I loved my little Corolla for that, which is a different type of appreciation than outright performance and wow factor
