Thanks for the replies.

Bob,

She does not want the turbo as much as I do! Might as well get a car that is fun to drive. I can understand the turbo may be too much for the transmission. The Maxima's I have owned were not perfect. Replaced nine window regulators on my 1989 and 1991 Maximas. Did learn how to get the door trim off real fast.

Groundhog,

Unfortunately we are the type that keeps a car ten years. At my age (62) I wonder how many new cars I might buy. Maybe I should not keep them so long, buy more frequently and enjoy the new toy. Looked at the ES300, too small inside. GS300 costs too much. Don't like the looks or power of the Avalon. Isn't the I35 a dressed up Maxima? I saw the Consumers Report statement on Volvo quality.

Sondagsakare,

You summed it up. Get Volvo to keep the wife happy or Acura for peace of mind. Just remember, a happy wife does not guarantee happiness but, an unhappy wife guarantees unhappiness.
