Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Eastern Canada the tour has a new friend...

It's a 2001 Suzuki XL-7, 65K, spotless, lady driven ... some of you are laughing right now, but yes, I decided against the Volvo wagon...
for those who haven't tried one of these things yet I will say that it's the most refined truck ever. The only problem with these cars seems to be the really low resale value... another personal observation is that they're waaaaay underpowered... imagine towing another tour with a duratec... however it's my wife's car, so I don't mind...

after all this I must say that I really love my tour, and I will prolly never buy an automatic for myself...

anyway, any thoughts? I'm actually looking for some tech info about the engine... (of course I'm planning to service the XL myself...)


P.S. I really recommend joining the APA (apa.ca) if you plan to buy a car (new or used).

Cool. My Mystique is going to have a new friend in a few weeks.

I'm buying a 1988 Isuzu Trooper II with some mild mods from my friend for $1000 with a blown engine. I'm also buying a donor Trooper with a good motor and tranny,but a bad body and doing an engine swap. I really need a truck up where I live,because I live almost exactly an hour north of Brampton,pretty much where Hwy 10 & 89 (the next highway north of Hwy 9) meet,so I'm in the snowbelt. The Mystique has had a hard time with the snow this year,and my Rx7 and Celica were no better in previous years.
