Just went today, great opportunity to see a bunch of different cars in a short span of time. Usually you can't test drive, but you can cross cars off your list

For example, I had my eye on the Mazda 3. Sat in one today and realized my head touches the roof while in my driving position. Dave's me a trip to the dealership when it comes time to shop

We went last weekend and loved it. I just bought a car and would have loved to have access to so many different models since I had no idea what to get.

We were there late on Saturday night, left around 8:30 and by then it was pretty empty.

The car rides were pretty cool. We took our two elementary school kids and we all had a great time.

It's a nice way to lay eyes on a bunch of options in one place and without a salesperson breathing down your neck. I vote Subaru, though I have the Forester, not the Outback.

Yes, you can get in them. I thought the car show was kind of a bust this year, for me at least. I was looking for mercedes and maybe the new BMW, but those brands didn't show. Tons of American cars.

Yes, go during the week. The Land Rover driving event was great.

Also, unless you're leasing I would cross the Q3 and XC40 off your list.

Yea you can get inside the cars, push all the buttons.

It's a good way to determine which car's interior you like, and try out ease of ingress/egress, passenger/cargo room, and etc.

I notice that the CR-V is missing from your list that includes the RAV4. That's like leaving Chick-fil-a out of a selection of chicken sandwiches.

This is happening right now and it's the last weekend.

DW wants a new car and is interested in a bunch of different models. Basically, she wants a mid-sized SUV-crossover or wagon with AWD (RAV4, Subaru Crosstrek, Mazda CX-5, Volvo XC-40, Audi Q3, etc).

Any tips for visiting the car show? Can we actually get inside the cars?
