Is it common for the dealership to request us to bring our new vehicle back for inspection within less than a week of buying it ?

In Ohio, looking at a Galaxy maroon pearl with brown interior. The dealer seems to have both 2026 and 2027. How much would be a fair/good price to pay for each to know what to bargain for. I am not seeing any discounts on the dealer page and has the following sticker price,

2026

MSRP of 58780 and add ons of 1000, and Freight/handling of 1600.

2027

MSRP of 59180 and adds of 1000 and freight/handling of 1600.

Additional question of should i get 2026 or 2027. I know that the differences are minimal such as the absence of UV sterilizer, black paneling for the number plate (neither of which i care about) .... but is buying one over the other better.

New to the sonos system/home theater setup and trying to see if this makes sense.

We have a media wall in our basement with wooden panels and have wiring placed for 2 ceiling speakers.

My plan is to get a Sonos arc ultra, subwoofer and 2 in-ceiling sonos speakers (connected to the sonos amp).

We will be hanging a 90 inch TV to go with this. We will be seated about 12 feet from the TV and the width of the area is above 15 feet. The length of the room is about 20 feet but the only seating will be in the 12 feet.

Thank you.

Trying to choose between the XC90 B6 ultra vs the palisade calligraphy.

Palisade hybrid has great interiors, tech, mileage and space …. Costs lot less. Didn’t really like the ride quality.

Drove the XC90 and blown away by how great of a ride it was. Love the interior and exterior. We don’t need too much of a space since we would only rarely use the 3 row seats. The tech definitely seems to be lacking compared to the palisade. Definitely costs much more.

We want to keep it for 10 years.

Tried the Acura mdx and was too small and the tech was too dated, the LExus Tx was too big. The Kia telluride was similar to the palisade.

Have been eyeing the Palisade Hybrid 2026 - Caligraphy. Is it worth waiting for the 2027 model ? From what i read it seems that there should not be any updates for the new model other than maybe a price hike. Anyone with any insight ? Thank you

Looking to buy a "compact" third row SUV; coming from a Mazda CX5 which we feel might be too small for our family in next few years(2 adults/2 kids - 8, 10 years). We typically keep our cars for atleast 10 years. Mainly use for errands/kids activities sports/occasional road trips/possible car pooling but might not happen.

Test drove the Lexus TX hybrid was very underwhelmed and also found it too big. Tried the Palisade/Telluride which were a little better size wise but the engine seemed underwhelming and although the technology was outstanding felt the quality might not be the best long term. Tried the Acura MDX and loved the engine and size; but felt the technology/interior was lacking, and the mileage was not the best as well.

Have'nt considered the XC90 before, since it does not top many lists but it seems to be the size that we are looking for. The cost is above what we are looking for. Does the mild hybrid version get good MPG in day to day ? is there a big performance difference between the B5 and B6 ?

Trying to see if it would be a good fit for us. Planning to test drive soon. But let me know what you all think. I am sure you are biased but also assuming you all drove other cars before coming to XC90.

Family of 4, 2 kids in elementary (9,10). Have a commuter sedan and a 2019 Mazda cx5. The sedan is at end of life and selling soon. I had initially planned to replace with another sedan, but then thought that I could use the cx5 for commuting and get a new 3 row suv. My rationale was that this would give the kids more space in back to sit as they grow and help with road trips and such. I don’t think we will ever have the third row seats up but seems like good to have the option and the space would be nice for the occasional trip.

Reading through other similar posts seems like a 3 row SUV makes sense and many agree. Am I thinking correctly?

We like to keep cars for atleast 10 years, so the car would get us through the kids out to college.

Looking at hybrid or gas options. budget around 50-65k.

On a 7 day royal princess cruise. Today is day 1. 2 adults and 2 kids. We have 5 WiFi devices. We did not get any drink packages.

Got a single 4 device WiFi package.

Now realizing we might have 2-3 adult drinks/day - each adult. Our kids get mocktails as well.

What are our options? We still need WiFi for 1 more device. Should we get the princess plus ?

New to princess, thanks for your all help.
