if you like the SC, get the SC and then just get the elemmat floor kit that covers up the carpet

i have/had the same problem, but i decided i really like the styling/look of the SC.

the rest i can handle w/ some rubber floor covers and towel over the seats

that is my plan at least...and i have a dog that sheds like crazy!!!!

I have a 1/2 rot 1/2 bloodhound with short bristly hair, I have no problems with getting the hair up, but honestly, I would save some money and go with an EX anyways, you can go AWD that way and it would be a easy conversion to take a EX to SC on the 09' models, it shares the same headlights unlike the 07-08. Dont get me wrong, I love my SC, but if I could do it over again, I would have gotten a AWD EX, better resail value for some reason everywhere I look.

in this case, i would say what do the weather conditions like throughout the year. if there are long months of heavy snow, hills etc, then a AWD model is probably the better choice.

in my current state, i've survived cincinnati winters w/ FWD for the last 13 years...awd, while nice, its not a deal breaker. plus you get slightly better gas mileage.


oregon, might be a different story
