Project: Swagger Wagon

[Apoc]

After about four months of research and close to a dozen cars tested, we finally landed on a family hauler to replace the Saab. I originally thought the Saab was gonna be a family car, but I realized there were many safety sacrifices being made in an 11 year old car... that and the infant seat didn't even remote fit in the back seat. Anyway, after looking at pretty much every model of wagon on the market, we landed on the All Road, 328xd, and 328xi. Pricing, power, and warranties eventually put us in the 2014 328xi territory. A few weeks of watching the market later, this popped up a few miles from home. It's probably overkill, but we plan to keep it until it makes us not. #yolo

Current plans call for tint... then... car seat? :lol: We're doing a bunch of car camping this summer, so I'm looking forward to loading this baby up. Can I add a trailer hitch and pull a dirt bike with this thing??

I'll write more after a few weeks with the car., For now, some comments from the 20 miles I've driven it:
>> Foot open and push button close rear hatch - why have I been doing this manually all my life?
>> Key based automatic seat memory (Mikey!!)
>> It's kinda sad when a car that has as much HP as my Legacy feels really fast.
>> Heads Up is weird
>> Mileage is high for model year, but we drive like 4,000/year so we'll catch up in two years
>> Holy crap space
>> We weren't sold on the interior color, but it's much better in person. Some brown leather saddle bullshit color name...
>> All the cameras make it easy to live in a city. I actually had to back up a single lane alley for an entire city block 20 minutes after buying it and didn't really have any problems. The top view is pretty cool, but the back up is much easier to use. I guess the top could be helpful if you're parallel parking. The font side view should be useful for pulling out from blind entrance ways.
