What's the sound set-up in your car?

Thanks for all the feedback!

I don't think that Mitsubishi sells cars in Canada. If they do, they do it under another name.

While I did like that the Forester drove more like a car than the Escape, for a lower selling price it had a higher lease price! Go figure. In order to make the Forester fit my budget I needed a four year lease. I really only want a three year lease. Give it back before it needs tires and (hopefully) brakes.

I don't think that I would ever buy a Ford, but I've had great luck with leasing them. The one Ford that I owned, I loved...until it started to spend more time with my mechanic than it did with me...somewhere around year seven. I traded it in around year eight. Aside from that I've leased two additional Fords with no problems.

So...after giving all of your advice careful consideration and...after looking at my budget...I'm the proud owner of a 2005 Ford Escape XLT. It has a 6 cylindar, 200hp engine (which Ford claims has the same hwy fuel economy as the 4 cyl) and 4WD. I pick it up on Saturday.

Truly, it had the best stereo of all the cars that I test drove. In-dash 6 CD changer with 4 speakers. And pretty decent bass without the subwoofer. It's a much better system than what's currenly in my Focus. And the Focus system is an upgraded (factory) system.

Edit: I checked - there are three Mitsubishi dealers within 15 kms of my house!! I guess I just never noticed them. I can't say that I've noticed many Mitsubishi's on the road either.
