Going on Wed to look see. OH & then I can not decide if I want to lease new. or buy used ..I figure this will be my last auto..So...
Well, you probably only haul groceries now so the trunk of an Altima will be just as easy to load and unload. Personally, I don't like white cars -- to me, all the style of a car is invisible when it's white. I just read the most popular car colors are silver, black and white. Black with tan interior is pretty sexy, as is red with tan. I love silver, too, but obviously, you're not a fan.
Cruise control is great on the highway but nothing is good if it makes you nervous or uncomfortable. But it allows you to change your position in the seat, which is always good on an extended drive.
I love our moon roof but I only use it in cool weather. Brian uses it a lot more but he has a lot less hair that blows around than me (grin). When I smoked, it was heaven as it sucked the smoke out of the car when propped up even though I had the AC on.
As little as you drive, I think leather vs. cloth is simply a matter of what you prefer. I like 'em both but I think leather wears better -- maybe I'm wrong but it just seems like it to me.
Books on tape come on CDs. Do try the satellite radio if it comes with the car -- they have 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, etc. stations and my favorite is Classic Vinyl!
I've never leased a car but Brian is hard on a car so leasing is really not for us. Plus, I like those years with no car note. There are lots of different leases so make sure you read over the lease documents very carefully.
Good luck and enjoy your ROAD TRIP!!!!
