THat is my chief observation about Toyota vehicles. Honda as well. Which is why I like Hyundai but am willing to look at the big brand names...
Another contender would be the Buick Envision. A used one that is a couple of years old is affordable and does not need to be the top of that line to be nicely equipped..
It would just be nice to get miz micro to be an active participant as this is for her and not me.
I'm a doer and not a procrastinator. This hem hawing around drives me insane..
Re: Undercoating.. Good idea... I had my Sonata nercoated snf dound deadened using the same stuff they use to line truck beds.. Its tough and lasts a very long time. The inside of the doors are all sprayed with oil as well so there will not be any rusting inside out either.
Its unfortunate we have those issues in snow states.
But ya got to be smarter than the elemnts if ya want yer car to not look like rusty swiss cheese after a few years...
