Regarding the nav system, what about installing one of those aftermarket android based systems that mimics the look of the oem “widescreen” version ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yeah. Not really sure about it. I kind of love it and hate it all at the same time.

Price lowered by $1,000. Still too pricey, IMO.

Something else that gives me pause is how much rain we've had this season and last in Atlanta. We are FAR rainier in inches than Seattle. And it doesn't just sprinkle and mist--it's always a a deluge with surface street flooding. And, because the whole city is ringed by the Chattahoochee and its creeks and other tributaries, there is a ton of flooding.
Makes me think another low-riding car is not the best choice addition to the fleet. Good for dog hauling/bad for clearance and weather. This is why I keep an eye on the SUV deals as well... |

How deep are the waters you cross? The xdrive is more than fine in bad weather. You also pay the SUV penalty with mpg, ride, handling, weight, everything... A light wagon is a much nicer drive than an SUV. A 3er is a nicer drive than a 5er or an a6.
