Hi all, I'm new here. Great forum.
I've been looking for a new SUV to replace my 100k mile Disco and once the 4runner became a serious contender for my next vehicle I did a lot of research, including joining this forum. I also considered, LR3, Touareg, XC90, Xterra, Jeep. But the 4runner won out as I am needing a "very reliable" vehicle and I am tired of knowing mechanics on a first name basis.
Well, after much weekend analizing and at least 5 to 6 test drives I picked a 2007 Shadow Mica Sport. Great truck !!! I was trying to get Leather but I decided to give the stock interior a try and got a great deal for a stock vehicle. It came typicaly equipped for the North East - Sun roof, 6CD changer, DRL. So far so good, love the pwr seats and the awesome ride of this truck.
I went with the Sport over the SR5 mainly for the x-reas and the awesome looking rims. I liked the Sport ride and I also wanted the larger brakes as I drive up and down steep hills daily. I test drove an SR5 and Sport on the same visit to a dealer to get a good feel for it.
So, picked up a set of Toyota all weather mats yesterday (a must IMO) and I'm all set.
Looking forward to many trouble free miles !
Pics will come eventually, but it looks like the other Shadow Sports.
