Default Drove for 4 days

While in Vancouver last month, I drove an Expedition for four days.

Pros:
Great seats
Nice power (torque) although somehow I knew it was still slower than the Pilot
Nice digital display w/km left on tank
More masculine looks than the Pilot (subjective)
Cool power rear seats
Steering Wheel mounted controls: a/c temp, fan speed
Easy access to 3rd seat

Cons:
Poor Materials - cheap plastic on the dash, center console & doors (Eddie Bauer edition!!)
Guzzled gas
Too long - barely fit into underground parking lot. Each time I parked it in the garage my wife had to get out and tell me when I was within 1 inch of the wall, otherwise the gate would close down on the rental. I even tapped (yes I left a note... never received a call though) another car when getting out of a parking spot.

Reliability, resale value, gas milage and overall size took the Expedition out of contention for my dollar.
