She is "practical" and just does not have a passionate bone in her
body about material things. I think she had a need for new car once
in her life and this fit her penny pinching needs. It is stable
enough to drive, had some bells and whistles. Not a Benz by a long
shot in any quality or form. It gets her from point A to B. Reliable
and the dealer will do the shop work. I am not going to touch the
thing. Uses 87 octane and dino, so she saves cash that way. The
mileage is suck, but I guess you trade off. There is a diesel engine
for it. I just have to source it from Australia. Drop that baby in
five years from now.
I had pointed out that the kids are getting larger every day, and I am
getting less willing to bend myself into pretzel to sit in a car with
her. So she gets a car that will allow legs to not clot up while on
long rides.

SWMBA wandered around and I pointed the sales guy at the Azera. He

when they made offers.
How can she go from a W124 to an Azera? It and its Kia sister the
Amanti are among the wallowiest, most crummily suspended FWD cars
ever. An order of magnitude worse than the big GM boats with the 3.8
V6 that Hursty is always pushing.
Excellent materials and interior build quality, though, at least in
the one I sat in at a new-car show a few years ago (it may have been
handpicked, though.) Just as good as Lexus and better than Mercedes,
I remember thinking.
