As long as it's Nissan, toyota, or Honda let her get what she wants. My wife got a scion tc and even tho I tried to get her into a maxima I really like the scion
They all use the same filters now. It's great!My wife has an 08 Pathfinder, and she loves it. It's much better on gas than the Armada. The nice thing for me is it has the same oil and filter as the T, I can knock 2 oil changes out at the same time, using the same tools. It's nice being able to work on 2 vehicle that are very similar.
Working on the newer one's is a far cry from those simple little 22r's. I had an '88 PU with the 22r and I used to work on it all the time. The newer one's are way different though. No tranny dipstick, 4 expensive air induction motors that like to clog up between 40-60K miles, goofy cartridge style oil filters, electronics up the ying yang, ect, ect. Ack!!! I'll take working on a 22r any day over that new stuff.Thank to all for the good advice. I would love to see another Nissan in the family but I think its going to be a Toyleta. Its her call so as long as she's happy. I think Toyota will be a reliable ride. The last Toyota I worked on had a 22r under the hood so there will be a learning curve for me. I will look forward to it. Nothing better than a nice hot cup of coffee and a good technical manual....
