My mom has been trying to talk my dad into getting rid of the 2006 Galant as it’s been stalling and rusting apart, and she wants him to drive something safer with AWD for all the snow they’ll be getting since moving. She initially sent me a list with a few trucks, a few Cherokee’s, and a Journey a month ago. I instantly nixed the 4 cylinder Cherokee’s and the Journey (shocking coming from me I know!), warned her of the potential goofiness of the 9 speed trans in the v6 Cherokee’s which got those thrown off, absolutely no to the Journey because Journey, and they didn’t want v8 fuel economy.
So I made the suggestion of a Mazda CX-5, which they brought home today. Beautiful blue color, Touring trim with no extra options, but a surprising amount of standard equipment. My dad isn’t a “car person”, he’s the type to just change the oil when required and fix them when necessary. But this is the first car we have ever seen him be excited about, he was reading the owners manual all night! Can’t wait to see it in person and take it for a spin.
Mom kept her 2013 200S with the v6, sometimes I think she loves that car more than me!
