I have to get rid of my Mustang

Apparently my beloved 420 hp, 6M, drop top hot rod is not the car I should have in my golden years of retirement.

Can anyone direct me to the Nissan Murano forum? I have some research to do. I hope there's enough cargo space to accomodate a Jazzie and a walker. I need to do this before my afternoon nap.



Best Car For Retirement?

2015 Nissan Murano Test Drive

"I’m technically old enough to be an empty nester, but I got started with the family thing a little late in life and still have a good 12 years to go before I officially qualify.

Nevertheless, I’ve got plenty of physical ailments, I wake up in the middle of every night and I love few things more than whining about how hard easy chairs are these days. So I think I’m more than qualified to evaluate the 2015 Nissan Murano.

I’m serious. Nissan has gone out of its way to point out that its all-new midsize crossover is a semi-premium play for folks who are dancing into their golden years footloose and kid-free, who don’t need a big SUV anymore but just can’t give up the comfort and commanding view that one provides.........."
And so on.

I saw on Motor Week they named the Murano the top crossover of the year

Too funny.
My neighbor just bought a black one. He's not that old, anywhere from 35-40 years of age.

You should look at the Honda CR-V Touring model. We just picked ours up on January 19th and love it.

Plus it's an automatic. And I'll bet that a "light rock" radio station is queued up on the dial. Kill me now.

On the plus side though, the cup holder arrangement works, and the grille doesn't look like a Fusion. And there's plenty of compartments to stash a few male Depends.

I'm confused. This is a joke, right?

The interior dose look nice though. Age not withstanding, I've always wanted a plush floaty car for everyday driving and my Mustang for weekends etc.

I wonder how that center console opens up. I dislike the two lid versions

The general body shape is too much like the 03 Saturn Vue I just got rid of for my 2015 Mustang. Now the interior is WAY nicer than my Vue was, but I like my Mustang interior better than this, and ya I agree this is missing a peddle.

But if one had a family still and wanted a ride like this, at least it is not hard on the eyes. Not as nice as a Mustang though.

You scared me at first but I like your sense of humor.
Being 60 and retired myself I have no intentions of slowing down. My current garage is proof.

From the picture given, the seam on rearmost part of the console makes me think it is not a two lid version but just for looks on top, and opens up as one

I fight this kind of thinking every day. My wife doesn't make it easy on me either.
Buy a car that's so cushy you could fall asleep at the wheel. I was looking at a Toyota SUV my neighbor just purchased. My wife has the Flex and that's good enough IMO.

This had better be a joke. I didn't sell you a filtered-air dryer so you could use it on a frickin' Nissan.

nice Matador ant first I thought it may be one of those Javelins with the 360 CID.


I wouldn't buy another Nissan, but I had a Datsun 280ZX and it was fine. Later on I bought a 2001 Frontier and stuff just stopped working and even though it was a 4x4 it was easy to get stuck with it.


I replaced it with a 2004 Rubicon and I ain't lookin back!
