    My review:

    This isn't your husband's SUV. It is cherry - Black Cherry that is. Love Love Love the Black Cherry paint job you can get on this vehicle. People look twice. Is it Black? or is it Red? Nope it's black-cherry. It makes this otherwise big, burly, towing machine a luscious, desirable, car for the woman in your life. Oh yeah! That's me. Loved it.
    Plus I noticed for all you mom's out there, there are 4 car seat latch areas in the car. In the middle seat and in the back... so I advise to put the kids in the back (way back), turn on the DVD, drive through and get an iced-cap (which you can put in 1 of the 12 cup holders) and cruise. The guys will certainly look - but you won't feel like a mom. You will be a black-cherry, sexual driving machine. It feels good.
    By the way, if you happen to be taking the kids to the soccer field, the huge cargo net will hold it all. Guess who charges extra on their vehicle for that now?
    This car is berry sweet!

    My suggestions for improving this car:

    So picture this... you are behind the wheel of this amazing black-cherry machine, feelin sexy, lovin the ride, stylin and profilin as people look over at you. You look down and yikes! The dashboard has big ole granny numbers. No cool highlighter color, no digital display. -Boring!
    Also, as expected this vehicle is a guzzler. Not going to win any points with treehuggers on this one. Honda needs to improve MPG.

    My review:

    Look - Flat out, nothing can beat the price for the number of features on the vehicle. Wait! As a math major I should have put it into some type of savy ratio. Ok - another time. Basically, we are all looking for the most for less - This car has it. Plus the kick a$$ sound system with the iPod hookup is standard. Gotta rock! But you can only do it with the Stone Cold White paint job. All the other colors do not set off the styling on the vehicle like that. Another thing I love is the name. Veracruz. Who doesn't want to 'cruz'?!
    My second choice in color would totally be the Deep Blue. The vehicle then matches inside and out. The heads up display is the highlighter blue color, and that looks totally rad. hmmm...Now I wish I had blue lights in my wheel wells to light up the 18' wheels.

    My suggestions for improving this car:

    So you bought the car and love the ride, but something doesn't feel as beefy as it should be. Guess what? The steering wheel is too small. Hyundai, honey... you need a bigger wheel. It's nice wrapped in leather, but it just doesn't feel as 'cruz'able as it should.
    The ladies will know what I am talkin' about here... The is too much wood finishing. Remove it. It is not really necessary in this vehicle and I'd rather pay for another set of speakers or something... Plus, the only wood I wanna see in this vehicle should be in the back seat ~wink. ;-)'

    My familiarity with this car:

    Owned it

    My review:

    I love the style/cut of the vehicle, the double moonroof is also a great feature.
    I got this ride totally pimped out, because the vehicle was right for the price and comfort, and I could spend some extra. I got the double dvd in the headrests and a touch screen nav. The Sync is awesome.
    I recently took the car on a road trip from Detroit to Vermont, through Canada. I drove and was the passenger. Everyone raved about the comfort of the car, and my sister and I had a great time watching Sex in the City in the back seat (which recline). It was like we were being chauffered. The best performance of the vehicle came when it was nighttime, in the rain / freezing rain, when the temperature was dipping between 34 and 32, driving through the mountains of Vermont. I had to keep switching between the headlights, brights and fog lights - it was very dangerous! Patches of fog out of no where. I could do this by a flick of my left 2 fingers, while my hands NEVER left the steering wheel. It was soooo stressful. The Edge never slid and completely exceeded my expectations!

    My suggestions for improving this car:

    I wish Ford would make a hybrid version of this, I also wish the second row moonroof would open.
    Can improve the MPG - with recent trip to Vermont, we drove 8 hours (2 road side stops) straight on cruise control up the 401 and the MPG improved from 20 to 21. Not good. Luckily it has a big gas tank for less stops, 16 gal. MPG needs improvement!!
    Most recently I was running errands and needed a Dunkin Donuts coffee. It was raining. I pulled in to place my order and cracked the window. From the curvature of the roof the rain was pouring in. My leg, the door, the floor got soaked, just in the amount of time that I ordered 2 coffees. Not to mention the door well that you open and close the door with quickly started to fill up. Yikes. The car should come with a Sham Wow! (Brand with Ford, of course).

    I liked the exterior design and the leather seats the best.

    They should improve the MPG!

    My review:

    The Chevy Traverse is spacious and has very nice leather, a fine finish. There is so much room- Chevy did a good job carving out additional areas on the doors and dashboard- it is a great use of space.

    My suggestions for improving this car:

    I really think they should change the name…what is traversed?

    My review:

    This isn't your Mom's Lincoln…this vehicle really hits the mark. For single people, totally high end without the price tag.

    My suggestions for improving this car:

    I would like to see a hybrid (more eco friendly) version . Dashboard gauges look old school, and not the 'good' old school- needs updating, they should be digital.

    My review:

    I love the gray color, it almost looks purple. The front seat fits really good, it's comfy.

    My suggestions for improving this car:

    This vehicle needs more cup holders and the steering wheel blocks the dashboard.
