I've reached one of those milestones in life, that on reflection, I'm not sure I want. But here it is: My trusty 2000 Pontiac Montane just turned over 300,000 miles. 300,761 to be exact. This has not happened because I am one of those performance freaks that actually change the oil every 3K miles. I go 10K a lot and it still has the original engine, tranny, 90% of engine accesories, and still gets 28 mpg at 60 mph. Dumb luck more than anything else. But I went looking for a replacement today knowing it's got to be coming soon. I can't believe it. I like SUVs, but they get worse mileage than my nine year old van, and have less room. Even the socalled hybreds don't do well enough to make up for the price delta. Knowing the eclectic mix of people here, some with real good automotive experience, I am asking for suggestions that will improve my performance, safety features, and styling. Any suggestions?
