    Anyone have any first-hand experience with any of the following new cars (current model)?:

    Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Dodge Durango
    Toyota 4Runner

    My company car lease is going to be up soon and I need to decide what I'm going with next. I was really tempted to go with a car (love the Audi A4), but most of my work travel is in NYC and their roads are going to tear a car up. Really considering one of the above three and at the moment leaning towards the Grand Cherokee. The current 4Runner seems huge and the Durango has an awesome front-end, but the back seems to look a little like a minivan.

    Yup, that's me! :D Although, my wife thought it was my first name for over two years until we started dating.

    That's funny, I didn't know it was a cartoon. Maybe that's why it's spray-painted out there.

    Nice. My cousin has the new 4Runner. It just seems huge. I thought about the Highlander, but that looks like a woman wagon to me.lol

    BAHAHAHA do your friends call you by your laat name or something?

    It is rather big... Think they tried to make it into the sequoia since that one isn't made anymore as far as I know..

    But that jeep you can't go wrong with really...does it become a company car or a personal car? The jeeps have gotten rather pricey lately... Which is something to look at if its all coming out of your pocket

    Yea, for some reason, most call me Dolan instead of Mike (including my clients). My friend from high school who introduced us always called me Dolan and still does, so that's where my wife got it from. My mother in law switches back and forth. I have had her call me both within five minutes of each other.

    The car will be paid for by the company but is mine to use for both company and personal use.

    Happy Fourth of July!

    If its paid for by the company test drive them all and which ever one has the most bells and whistles take it... Just make sure that whatever you get has air conditioned seats... I drive my dads truck when ever I can just to have a nice cool ass and back while I drive... I hate sweating in my seats :mad:

    Check out John & Molly's. It's a bar w/small restaurant but has great food and service.


    All my friends named Mike are nicknamed. We had so many we used last names and nicknames to tell them apart. Growing up we had 5 mikes in our crew.

    and you'd be on the side of the road fixing flats all the time while Dolan drives by hits the same pothole that gave you a flat while splashing water on you as he keeps driving on :D


    I'd love an A4 but our roads are total shit. You need bypass shocks on our roads :(

    This is for work (jobsites and shit). I'd never buy a car for his type of work. No room for materials and IMHO 4x4 is a must for the winter. Snow never stopped me from going to work.

    When I first got my truck it got hit in Philly a couple times by jackass parkers backing into my front bumper. I ended up getting the avid bar to stop them and would leave my hitch in the rear....first day I put the avid on I'm sitting in my truck and my own guy backs right into me. As soon as trees got into the equation I got a steel bumper :D

    If a tank was fast enough I'd recommend that :)

    On a serious note - I'd get whatever SUV has the smallest turning radius, shortest wheel base, and most options. If it's a lease who cares what brand.
