Yeah right. What woman who wants a BMW is going to take an Asian Econo box instead? Just get the x3 and be done with it. You only live once.

I would not drive a nice car for 2 hours each way, that is a waste. I'll keep the P5 and drive it to the ground. Mind you, my commute gets a lot better once I don't have to drop wife and kid off downtown, which is happening in September.

I am more of a Bentley kind of personality. I don't like to drive more than I have to. If I could, I would be chauffeured around and sleep whilst being transported.

She seems set on Lexus now... namely RX350...Hopefully I can steer her towards a used Murano... Saw a Murano parked next to a Caravan today and it was actually a couple of inches lower than the Caravan.

Why not ride a bicycle? 3 miles is nothing...she wouldn't even get a car up to normal operating temperature in 3 miles.

lol, if someone is not willing to take the bus for 3 miles, you think she'll bike there? I get sent downstairs to fetch water once in a while.

If you are going to be keeping it for the long haul, I'd stay away from the Murano. The long-term reliability of the Jatco CVT has been less than stellar.

Talk about high maintenance. I had an ex-girlfriend like that, key word being ex.

Trust me, I would rather run downstairs then being nagged.

na, I actually like this one. They all come with different stupid modes, so I figure I can tolerate the ones that comes with her.

GO parking lot full of nice cars...

Only ones I can think of is Clarkson (well half full of nice car), Port Credit, Finch (maybe), Langstaff and Unionville. Guessing you live in port credit/clarkson/erin mill area and work in Markham/upper Toronto area.

But then I could be completely wrong.

None of Those
