I love my Nissan Frontier Truck. So suggesting the Rouge.
But open to any advice.
Any wisdom out there?
We are in our 60s. She drives 20 miles round trip to work. Most her driving is with in 30 miles of home. Little to no freeway driving.

Its her car and what she wanted, just wished she would have gotten something I like to drive, I like driving but don't enjoy this car.

I doubt there is much real difference. Go drive them and let her have which ever she likes!! You will gain major points!! LOL

No points for me. This is one part of our 33 year marriage where she excels. She can match any salesman on a car lot toe to toe. I know she has drove a couple to drink over the years. Couple sales managers too.
I have never bought a truck since we have been married. Last time I picked out three trucks I liked and turned her loose. Than I just wonder around show rooms and leatherwork them over.
My last two trucks she did all the negotiations. If ya got a ace, play it.

The wife is ready to pull the the plug on a new car. Or something with 50k or less on it.

I tried to get my wife to get an all-wheel drive CRV, Rav4, or Rogue a couple years ago, but made the mistake of letting her drive an all-wheel drive Murano instead. :o The Murano is a great vehicle.
I love my 2016 Frontier SV, I bought it last March to replace my 2007 Dakota.
Night and day difference between the Dakota and the Frontier.

He said the crv is popular with folks who want to tow a vehicle behind their motorhome because the transmission is capable of being towed in stock form. My neighbor, when he got his motorhome had to spend $5k to modify is Chevy Transverse transmission so it could be towed.
Something to think about.
Oh, and I'm a fan of Nissans. My wifes 05 Pathfinder with 200k miles is as solid and rattle free as the day she bought it with 28k miles.

We sold our 2003 Honda Pilot and bought a 2019. Honda’s are pretty tough to beat for longevity and we find them to be very comfortable and utilitarian. The CRV won all kinds of awards recently I’d give them a serious lookCRV is a good car, just noisy. And many safety items are add-in with an added price.

We talked over all the comments and looked at all the cars except the Lexus. Couldn’t find one in our area.
She chose a 2018 Nissan Rouge, dealer rental with under 5k in miles.
Little bit of technology shock going on in the drive way right now as she is jumping from a 2009 Freestar to the 2018 Nissan.
The free star is going to our daughter in law and the car she has a Corsica is going to a friend in need. Lots of smiles tonight.
Thanks all.

LOL I do the same thing. I almost felt bad for the salesman after she got done negotiating for my last truck, I thought the poor guy was going to cry.
She's not mean not at all, everyone actually thinks the world of her, she just gets her way.
Sometimes that works in my favor and sometimes, not so much. :hello:

My wife got in an accident in her Outback. The entire front engine compartment was smashed up, but not one piece of broken glass, no rippled doors, no damage from the fire wall back.

yeah I saw her work a young salesman about 15 years ago. She reached across the table and took his hand. And than said " now Bob goes up in some rough roads, are your sure this is a safe truck for him. " The kid had no experience with anything like her.
Now I just walk away, cant bare to watch her work the young ones.
When we left last night she knew everything there was to know about this 30ish salesman except his blood type. She had him on edge till she drove off the lot. I watched him after she left from my truck , he took a big Sie.
:tup: :chuckle:
