My guess is that its the weight, especially if they are suggesting that you put more air in the tires. Likely youll gain a couple MPG that way too. The manual states a lower pressure so that it rides smoother but like the tire guys said, that lower pressure will cost you tire wear because the weight of the vehicle puts more of the tire in contact with the road, causing more heat and more wear; hence why they said to up the pressure.
You get the minivan, she gets the Benz. Seems fair to me. :thumb:I had a minivan for a few years. I get company cars and for one cycle I chose a minivan. I liked it. It was handy to have. Not fun to drive at all, but very useful.
Kids liked it. Wife liked having it as long as I drove it. She insists that driving a minivan would destroy her libido and we'd never...again.
Who was I to argue. She drives a Mercedes now. Stinker.
. I have a Taurus this year, but part of me misses the minivan sometimes. Once a parent and homeowner they are so useful. Toyota even makes a Sienna SE that is almost sporty.
Id miss the minivan too if I were driving a Taurus. Thats one name that Ford should have never brought back from the dead.I drive it on weekends
I believe it. Those Edges arent cheap. My brother and his wife looked into getting when they first came out and even with trading in their Lincoln, the payment would have still been almost $700 a month. My response to him when he told me was that for $700 a month, he could trade his Lincoln in on a real luxury car. When you consider that he's a diehard Ford guy, you can imagine that he wasnt very amused by that comment.
Nor is it a Camry or Accord, for that matter.True, it isn't a Mercedes or BMW
Now theres something we can agree on. On the rest of it, I have to respectfully disagree. :confused2:
