Kids growing up? I replaced our ageing Tarago with a 1 year old KX-R AWD 7 seater about 12 months ago. The difference is just amazing. We now find it a pleasure to drive places, we appreciate the quietness and additional power, and the fuel consumption is nearly as good as the Tarago around the city, and better on highways. The only drawback is less luggage space compared to the Tarago, but a luggage box on top gets us by for those long trips (and I'm talking about 4 grown kids ages 16+). Ken. Yes the kids are growing up! The Tarago was very versatile and we will miss the extra cargo space but it's nice to have a car that just works! As far as the fuel consumption goes our Tarago was heavy on the juice as we do most of our driving in the city so I don't expect the Kluger to be any worse. We went for the AWD 7 seater as well..
