How much input would you want to have on a car that will primarily be driven by your SO?

    Haha, timely as my husband’s car just died last week and he had to buy a new one on short notice. We each have our own car and honestly, I don’t really feel we get much say in what the other picks - - as long as it’s within the agreed upon budget. Similarly, I don’t want him picking my car for me – I’m the one driving it every day, I’ll get something I love thankyouverymuch.

    My husband isn’t a researcher (he’s an impulse buyer – so dangerous when car shopping lol) so he tells me what he wants and I do the research on fair price, etc, but I don’t veto the kind of car or features he wants, even if they are not what I would want for myself.

    Input on price, reliability, and cost of maintenance. I gave no opinion when my husband bought an audi (it was before we were married) and now I regret it because duh... german car = ridiculous maintenance costs. Not to mention it breaks ALL THE EFFING TIME. So now every few months it costs us hundreds (at least) to fix. He can pick out anything he wants for his next car but no more cars with expensive maintenance costs (luckily he is as fed up as I am and is already talking toyota. Thank god. lol)
