[W126 Coupe] Off Topic: Opinions

David, 

Having two daughters, a 5 yr. old?and an 11 month old, I have an '02 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's my third one and they all were new when I got them. The first one was a '94 followed by a '98. The first two I had when I lived in Louisville where there was snow several times a year. They have all gotten about the same, 14 mpg, in town. I've currently got around 56k on the '02 and the only problems I've had have all been with the elec. window lifts. I've had to replace 6 of them. I've been told its a common problem down here in Florida. The heat weakens the plastic guides and they break. I've also had to replace the battery twice for the same reason. Heat is harder on batteries than cold.

My wife and I are thinking of replacing?the Grand?later this year with either a 2 to 3 year old E320/350 wagon or a new C class wagon. If it were possible to a find a W124 in mint, low mileage condition, I'd definitely buy it.

Congrats on your coming family addition.

Now that we are expecting our first little rug rat, it is time to get my wife a 
new car.  We were thinking a small SUV, being in Colorado AWD can have its 
benefits.  I was wondering if anybody has any opinions, likes or dislikes about 
small SUV models or other ideas.  Since my 1 drivable SEC is in the garage being 
torn apart, and my other SEC had the ass end of it ripped out, those are out.  
Plus it is a pain in the ass trying to get a baby seat in the back!  

Thanks,

David
