Escalade EXT, Maxima, and HID Cars highest in theft ratings - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

ArthurS · 2004-10-19, 07:43 AM

Turns out th ratings now don't point to Toyota Camry and Honda Accords as the most stolen vehicles. The EXT and Maxima now top the list for the most stolen vehicles by claim frequency.

Also, Maxima's with HID's are more likely to be stolen then cars without HIDs.

Does this mean the Maxima is offically a success? It has finally surpassed the Camry and Accord (at least on some list).

Getting a Titan?

I'd still take a S/C'd Tundra though.

What do you like more about it? You gonna let me drive it when you get it?

MattR · 2004-10-19, 02:41 PM

Well, the steering is more responsive, (it actually doesn;t feel like a truck) and I like the torque the V8 has, it feels great. I Like the interior better, I like the looks way better. And the towing package is a lot cheaper option. Overall, it fits my needs better, and I really was comfortable in it. Okay, it's mostly looks....J/k...And yes , you can drive it. I would like to get it by December, but we'll see.

I am very surprised at how spaceous they are .. a lot roomier than the Tundra .. In My Opinion ..

Totally agreed...The cab is awesome. Especially with bucket seats.

Sounds nice, I've certainly always liked them. They were just too new for my parents to really consider one. What color you getting? Crew cab?

You need these I guess..,

I want to get a Silver King cab, I really don't need the Crew cab and it knocks the price down a couple G's. Nice Nismo stickers

and even nicer thread hijack..

Crew cab is more practical if you are gonna use it as primary transportation though. You can carry the womenz more comfortably.

Gonna lay it on the ground?

The Titan is also bigger then the Tundra by design, so it should definitely be more spacious.

The Tundra was designed to be 7/8ths of the F150. The Titan was designed to be 9/8ths.

I think both trucks are awesome (and the Tacoma too).
