Hello all. I have not posted here in a long time, but now is as good a time as any, I suppose. I own a black 2004 SF GLS 3.5L, which unfortunately, a momentary distraction in the form of a GPS unit has left Sandy totalled. She was a wonderful ride, and I drove her all over the country--as a matter of fact, the accident occurred the same day she hit 166,000 miles.
I had some minor issues with the car during the 6 years of ownership. Some of the interior finishes were a bit lackluster, most noteworthy is the fact that the cruise control buttons would not engage when I tapped them, causing me to push on them with pressure, and 3 of them had fallen off. Another issue I had was a noisy water pump bearing that caused Sandy to kind of "growl", especially in colder weather.
That being said, she was a great car and I will ALWAYS miss her.
But, that being said, I just test drove a 2011 SF SE with an, I believe, 3.8L engine AWD. I loved it. Much nicer appearance, and more features, than the other car I looked at (Honda Pilot).
Has anyone already picked one of these up? I would love to hear what people are thinking about them. I would also like to know what people consider a good price for the SE or even a Limited. Location: Denver, CO
