[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 456140, member: 4264"] I've moved into the ugly cries (but of happiness). I can't stop. He's kind of laughing at me I think, because he doesn't maybe get just how overwhelmed I am. He's been spending hours trying to decide if he wants to upgrade me for certain safety features. I know not a wit about cars, having never owned one and only even rented one twice in my life. He's talking bigger engine model to have more power/control because of being so far north and the snow/ice issues in winter. He's enrolling me to do a defensive winter driving class (which I want badly to feel confident on bad roads all winter because they do get BAD here). We just spent 30 minutes looking at the add ons and selecting ones that make sense for me. I hate to add a thing because of the $$ aspect but some things do make sense. A cargo net, a side step because sometimes I can't step up or down much with my legs on bad days, a rear sonar/camera thing or something for backing up?? I haven't a clue but he says its good sense?? Anyone? I feel so green and a bit shy for some weird reason admitting how a lot of this is going right over my head, although I know he'd just explain it if I said so. Any other features that make sense to add on? I'm open to ideas as safety matters hugely to me. Any luxery item add ons that actually are worth it because you'll kick yourself if you don't? I could use car advice because it does make sense as he explains it to really analyze what I want added in or not and why, so we don't pay higher later to add it in because I cheaped out in the beginning. Who knew a car purchase is so intense and extensive??? For me I'm thinking its new, its safe, and the only thing I can actually feel I know something about is what colors I do or don't like. I think I need a cars for dummies book (not kidding either! I might have to go buy one and start reading). I have skipped cloud nine. I think I'm at about thirteen minimum!! [/QUOTE]
