My hubby wants a Honda, I want a Subaru. We cannot agree on what to buy. I detest Honda cars, how they drive and their lack of features in the cabin. He loves them for their reliability, but will not agree to spend more on a Subaru.
How do people make these kinds of decisions? We have two cars and we drive them interchangably. So it's not like I will be driving this car more often, or he will, etc.
If you just get the divorce you could use the settlement to pay off the Subaru. Then, you'll look so cool in your new car he'll want you back.
I'm done with Honda ever since I made the mistake of buying a Civic Hybrid.
But I am sure you're going to buy another hybrid, because after all I am assured by Nancy Pelosi and BH Obama that hybrids are the future. That and riding the bus with sweaty, noisy, delinquents.
Why would she get a Ford if she wanted a Subaru? That's like coming to a bakery to buy a soft fluffy cake and they recommend that you get a cold hard ice cream cake. No bueno, stick with the Subaru!
Who on earth do you think initiated the practice of having the shortest lists of options of any carmaker in existence thirty-plus years ago? Honda was stuffing their automobiles with every imaginable option well before anybody else, and especially the Detroit 3?
If there's one thing that Honda has never been noted for over the past three decades, it's having lists of options longer than Gone With the Wind.
The simple solution is for each of you to buy the car you want and never drive your spouse's car unless one of them is in the shop.
She can always pay for her car with her own money, and he can pay for his
Funny thing is that I bought a 2009 Forester for my wife, and she hated the thing, specially after a couple of friends told her that it was a car for lesbians. Anyway, the driver's seat was killing her back, and the passenger's seat was so close to the floor that when sitting on it she could hardly see out the window. In 2011, I traded the Forester for a 2010 Toyota Rav 4 V6, but before I did so I took her to the dealer and let her drive it. She loves her Rav 4, and offered to pay for it, and should be paid in full next Spring. Got her a Toyota Platinum extended warranty that cost very little (bought it from Jerry at Midwest Toyota in Kansas).
But considering a diverse over a car? I just don't get it.
