CX-9 or legacy wagon?

yup not a big deal but i was just disappointed considering all the hi-tech features that comes with it and they didn't include an HID.

anyway i'll probably have bro garyq customize my headlight incase i get my explorer.

thinking about checking out the cx-9 tomorrow again and getting a test drive.

anyway if ford doesn't deliver my unit by july then i'll be sure that the explorer isn't for me and i'll be torn again between the cx-9 and lgt wagon.

After driving the Explorer, I still think the CX9 drives better, and it gets the ride/handling balance better, too... not as floaty at high speed or as choppy at low speed. (though the Explorer's ride is pretty decent, all things considered...).

Regarding the Explorer not having HIDs, that was my gripe as well. Bought an aftermarket HID for our unit, cutoff was exactly the same as with the original halogen bulbs but will be having garyq do a retrofit this week. can't wait to see the difference.

bro can you pm me details where you got it your current HID, what kind and how much if you don't mind me asking.
