well, I've never owned a foreign car. sort of keep the jobs in the USA, type guy. Wife's car has problems, she wants another. I like to buy new. Well, she wants a 4 door sedan, none made America any longer except high performance. Just no one making a Ford focus nor a Chevy Cruise. I guess I lived too long to support the American worker. i will find it difficult to look at a honda civic my driveway! ------------- “ The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other in opposite directions.” |

Have you looked at something like a Buick Enclave? I don't know if there even still made but we love ours. We are both short so I but running boards on. BUT it is very easy to get into and more so OUT of. You sit up higher for better all round vision. We get 19 mph and it is all wheel drive. Don't say no till you try one all the GM divisions made one, there is a two row and a three row version, ours id 3. MY wife Loves it. ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

Wife hates SUV/crossover boxy looking vehicles. I think a small USA manufacter's AWD is perfect for a 81 year old. But she doesn't like the "image"!!! i'm just a husband. ------------- “ The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other in opposite directions.” |

What's wrong with high performance? Chances are she wouldn't test it, and it would be fun for you on the days she needs it filled up with gas, the oil changed, washed, etc. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |
