The three rows in the Armada are good...The 3rd row is stadium and gives a bit more leg room than some of the others, plus has a shoulder belt for the middle (3 kids in the back).
The mpg is a drag but is smaller on the outside than the Suburban, but fits as many and I felt a bit more comfortable (bro's got the suburban XL)

going used for the Sub. I can get good deals on GM products but not good enough to buy new

I got the Acura rdx 2 months ago and i freakin love the thing. Gas mileage is so so but great handling, tons of room, fast, AWD, GPS, etc etc. I put a hidden hitch on it for my rack, and have a nylon "sock" that covers the whole back with seats folded down so it stays clean. I highly recommend it. It came down to the RDX or the A3 for me, the RDX just had so much more to offer for the $$. And there is no comparison in the reliability ratings, or resale value for that matter. Plus it is really hard to get an A3 dialed exactly how you want it. They push 2 different packages because those are offered for their lease specials but if you dont want those exact packages good luck getting one and the cost skyrockets... my couple a .02 worth.

I got it at Hitch-web.com and would highly recommend them. $170 all-in, free shipping, and they even had it in stock. They were very helpful too, quickly tracking down dimensions from the manufacturer so I could figure out if the rack would drag coming out of my parking garage (it doesn't, and its a steep ramp: 20% grade)

I had it installed by a mechanic as you need to remove the bumper, drill some holes, and cut out a 2x2" piece of bumper fascia to install it. The cut out is not visible at all. I also found it necessary to trim the front wheel trays - the back one a bit, the front by a couple inches.

Its pretty easy to put a bike inside, but this rack works great and keeps the inside clean. I'm glad I got it.

Flip up the rack and have no fear of red light cameras.

good question....talking "useable" third row. The pathfinder actually is useable for kids for sure...its larger than many others pseudo third rows but looking for something a bit more room throughout. sounds lame but given its gonna be my wife's car i need to obsess or i will hear about it.

the LR3 is an option and may be a tad bigger than the pathfinder....i looked at that when shopping for her current car.

she simply hates the sequoia and armada which frankly, are the size i think she should go for but what are you gonna do....

i am currently leaning towards the GL 450 but its a little ghey for me but the size is perfect

I just want something that I can put my bike in side and also put a rack on the back. Also good MPG, seats five and I fit in it.

tell you what...its a great friggin choice IMHO. My wife had one (her previous vehicle) and it worked great but she just doesnt want another one.

good call!

p.s. i still think you are an ahole

We lease capital equipment but have auto leasing relationships.

Just remember that at the end of the lease there is always someone like me that you have to deal with

As for my A6, I absolutely loved it! I only sold it because I got a company car and no longer needed it. Even still I kept it for about 8 months because I just did not want to sell it. Great car and great customer service at Audi. I would have to agree with Foo, you need to go see if your big a$$ can fit in one.

i recently got an 01 a6 w/the 4.2, thing has balls nothing compared to my last 2 cars (mustangs setup for drag racing) but i love the car soo much more, no problems so far with it, have had it about 5 months
