Shall I make a decision now, or shall I just wait for
1.Maybe the Metris (Vito) Tourer AWD 9 passenger version will be released in North America 2018/2019? or
2.Wait for Metris AWD version maybe in 2017 and do some aftermarket 9 seats conversion?
My priority list:
1. AWD (live in Toronto - safety a must in snow weather; top priority)
2. Fit in my garage space (height and length a major concern)
3. 8+ passenger seats (big family: 9 seats with front bench seat option would be a big bonus)
4. Cargo space (at least folding and reclining seats - stow n go would be ideal)
Minivans:
*Toyota Sienna: meet 2 ,3, 4 ; but AWD only with 7 passengers (seats conversion possible to 9?)
Honda Odeysse: meet 2, 3. 4; but no AWD
Chrysler Pacifica: meet 2,3,4; but no AWD
other brand: no AWD
SUVs:
*Chevrolet Traverse: meet 1,2,3,4 ; but very dated interior/no 9 seats option/cargo space is much less than minivans
Chevrolet Tahoe: meet 1,2,3,4; have 9 seats option - but the foot room of third row seats is a joke
Chevrolet Suburban: too long for my garage
2016 Metris:
only meet 2,3
but best looking exterior, cargo space still large, very high rating in crash test and
the European Vito version: "Metris (Vito) Tourer AWD 9 passenger" is the perfect match to my needs
Conclusion:
Why????????????? Metris (passenger) in North America is so..........user-unfriendly?
