That is the question we are faced with this evening. DH has a horrible back & we have not be able to travel much or far due to his discomfort during travels. Weekend trips to the store take him down easily so after 3 years & a failed spinal fusion, we have finally decided to start looking into a small SUV. We currently own a 06 Malibu with 125,000 miles on it and have found a 06 nissan murano with 71,000 miles for $15,000. Honestly I want the CX9, I've called that my "hot mom car" for years but that just isn't an option right now.

The Murano has all bells and whistles but most important are the leather seats (encase we have kids), and BOTH front seats are power adjustable. Which is something that was important to DH. The deal breaker will be whether or not DH can stand to ride in it for an extended period of time.

Now the kicker in this all is that we just refinanced our home and the $200/mo we are saving on payments (that was suppose to go towards home improvements) will go towards the car. That means I have to deal with our ugly concrete floors for a few more months to a year.

Now would you give up your carpet for your DH's comfort? J/K!!!
What is your "hot mom car" and why do you love it so much? If you haven't gotten your "hot mom car" yet what is it that you want?
