Well  it turns out after a visit to the dealer for a seat cushion recall, that the SX-4 was going to be needing good deal of routine maintenance fairly soon.  Brakes, struts, some other minor stuff all in totaling a couple grand.  Nothing really out of the ordinary or unexpected, but…

I had been planning for a new car next year, so I decided I might as well go ahead and pull the trigger now.  I’d been doing a lot of research lately anyway.  Having generally been a GM guy for most of my life I surprisingly settled on a Ford Edge!

So far, so good!
