Don't buy new, I'm the oddball here, go certified used Lexus for your wife. I love my Chevy truck but when it comes to cars, the big 3 suck. I love my 1999 GS400 with close to 300hp and 28 mpg on the highway. It was the fastest 4 door production vehicle built in its day. I have near 200k on it now and will probably get at least another 100k without any issues. You could eat off of the engine because they just don't leak any fluid unlike my Duramax at 10k when the dealer told me to shove it if it doesn't leave a puddle under it. GM doesn't consider it a leak unless it does. A certified used Lexus or probably a lot of other brands have a 3 to 5 year / 100k warranty that is actually better than a 3/36 new car warranty.

Too bad VW lied about their emissions and got busted. I had a 1980 Rabbit and it was a great car. Good luck and let us know what you get.
