Giant car though.
Although you could probably put a bike loose in the trunk, both wheels on.

If [user not found] likes it, then it's pretty good imo. Knowing he would rather drive a Prius than a base Camry.

He has a Grand Cherokee ... which has the ZF tranny instead of the 9-speed minivan unit. It is also RWD based and much more attractive. I think the Cherokees are heinous myself, although IIRC in TrailCock form they look decent. With the natty V6 they aren't slow, I've ridden in a few of them that friends own.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Fri Nov 22, 2019 11:33 pmIf [user not found] likes it, then it's pretty good imo.

I really hated that transmission but I drove a 2014 trailcock. So first model year. Supposedly the trans was reprogrammed in later model years. Likely still more than I want to spend.[user not found] wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2019 10:08 amD Griff wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2019 8:47 am

Cherokee is not to be confused with the Grand Cherokee. Vastly different.
I do think the 2019 looks much better, and in the Trailhawk trim.
But still a Dart underneath.

I’m sure it’s fine. I helped my friend into a tigershart model and no complaints in 2 years of ownershit. It rode quietly and it was perfectly sized for a 4 person cuv. You can always get 6-13k off the sticker(depending on time of year) so I’m not sure I’d buy used. The prices are not attractive.
Yeah there seem to be deals available... my buddy’s is leased for like three hunnit I believe.max225 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2019 11:40 am I’m sure it’s fine.

To bring some good news to this thread:
New seat mods are good. Raised front and lowered back is giving me more leg support so I'm bucking less in the city. Being a little more upright is uncomfortable on my back but I have more control over the car.
I'm driving smoother.
Thanks for the suggestions bros.

Yep. This car is a riot. Traffic was more manageable with the new seat position.CaleDeRoo wrote: ↑Wed Nov 27, 2019 7:46 pmBWAAAAAAAAPSHHHHHJohnny_P wrote: ↑Wed Nov 27, 2019 5:17 pm To bring some good news to this thread:

Yep. Clutch and throttle control are both much better. Car feels more comfortable in a less comfortable seating position. That's a mind fuck.
Just got back from a drive through center city to work on Lisa's shop, and it was a complete non-event.

I maxed out the bolt wiggle room. But it would be better if I could get an extra 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Wonder how bad of an idea it is to dremel the seat bracket bolt holes a little bit. Wouldn't take too much to make the difference. Unfortunately I can't put spacers or shims in due to the attachment method.
It's closer to the seating position of the GTI now. That had a pretty good bucket position, but the front was a hair too high for my liking.
