We're getting our new AWD Grande tomorrow and there were a few reasons why i chose the Kluger over it's competitors; 1) [i read this on the net somewhere, but it sums up my feeling for me] - The CX9 feels like i'm driving an Armani suit, the Kluger felt like a comfy pair of jeans. 2) It has the space i need for work, with the ability to be a Designated Driver taxi for our family/friends 3) It has the features i need, with a few more i want (except for the Nav/Bluetooth lockout while moving) 4) Again, i just feel comfortable in it, i have owned Hilux's, Surfs etc so i am comfortable with the toyo's, the next closest competitor was the CX9, and although i much prefer its leather appointment, memory seating etc, i just couldn't find myself calling it "home" (i spend alot of time on the road). It made me feel like an imposing Euro Wa#$#r for some reason, i loved the car, but i was more at ease in the Kluger... 5) After having utilised fords for company cars, i wouldn't want to spend a single cent of my own money on one (there goes the territory, hahahaha) 6) It can tow our boat :-)
