I just bought a Sport (check the dealer experience page for my experience) specifically for the XREAS suspension. It helps with turning. When I test drove one with XREAS I did a U-turn to see how well it worked. Basically I cranked it around and almost slammed the car salesman into the door (hehehhehehe
) and the vehicle barely showed any body lean. Pretty impressive for a 4500 lbs SUV. I'd say its worth it as a safety feature.

I didn't really notice a difference with or without XREAS when it came to ride. I test drove both. I just noticed the difference when I turned hard. I think its worth it just as a safety featute.
Oh, one more thing man, if your gonna buy this month then force yourself to wait until the last couple days of the month. Thats when their quotas are due, and thats when the will make offers at invoice.
Oh, and I would also highly recomend the V8 while your out it. The 5 speed automatic is smooth!
I've basically researched the hell out of this car, so I know it pretty well, and I just bought on Friday, so if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks a lot for your help.
For many reason, I don't want a v8
1. cost saving $1000 difference
2. gasoline (just in case we are in fuel crisis over $2 a gallon!!)
3. In long run (my wife wants to keep this car as long as possible), repair may be more expensive than standard v6
4. May be get ticket easily. I have tendency of driving very fast (90~100 on my current Camry depends on highway where I am sure that cops can't be hiding )
5. Don't do any towing or off roads things, so it's kinda overkill my needs.
I will come to the dealer tomorrow (hope it's not too late) and try to bargain down a bit $300 down from $29674 offer. A different dealer offer to beat the $29674 by $300, unfortunately they currently don't have the car in the lot. However, they warranty me that they can get the car next week. I didn't buy that so I wll try to bargain from the 1st dealer tomorrow.
I notice one odd thing while searching for this SUV. The price $29674 shown at carsdirect.com weeks ago is now $28621 about a grant cheaper, so I have to ask the dealer about price discrepancy tomorrow morning.
Once again, thanks for your great help.
