    Don't you have Ride Source benefits Lanny? I work with the disabled and they just call for a ride in any weather conditions….

    Lanny, the Nissan Rogue is very solid and gets around in snow very well.
    The Mitsubishi Outback is a very good vehicle.
    Absolutely noting wrong with a Jeep Grand Cherokee... Still make a hell of a four wheel drive unit.
    Good Luck

    I bought my wife a Nissan sedan long ago...it was a diesel with independent suspension...car handled like a dream...then she put gas in it one day and well...you could hear her driving home from work from miles away....the sound of blacksmiths forging steel...had just put new freeze plugs in it and that was like throwing a hundred bucks in the road

    @Lanny why does it have to be a sedan?

    I would actually think a small suv would be easier for you to get in and out of.

    Take her out for a test drive. You can handle the salesperson.

    Subaru forester or legacy.

    I have a 2014 legacy and it is awesome. Very roomy, drives like a champ in the snow and as good as you could ask in ice.

    Getting a forester as soon as my daughter is born for the missus to drive around in.

    The awd in Subaru is awesome. I used to have a 5 speed impreza that was so fun to drive.

    Resale value is top notch. Oh and btw they have 5 star crash ratings.

    Many subarus have 0% interest over 63 months btw.

    That's a good car but the 2019 has some upcoming features that we liked. The Volvo also has features in their upcoming 2019 model. So, we plan on waiting. The new Altima comes out in about September and the new Volvo comes out in about December.

    The problem is that the 2018 looks better than the 2019.

    I paid the price of your average service for my entire car.

    If someone paid for everything, maintenance and gas and insurance and I had to choose between my car and yours I'd take my little yellow Focus.

    My car is slower than shit and I'd still choose it.



    I would have to be less worthless and a rich guy who works tirelessly giving back to the community like Princess Meyers before I'd ever buy a new German car.

    Nissans seem cheap to me. I don't know, if your comparison is a Volvo, then you should be looking at an Infiniti Q50, which does come in AWD. They are nice looking.
