The wife and I drove down to West Palm Beach Friday (4-11) to see the P4 in person. I liked what I saw but the wife may have nixed the deal because she said she felt claustrophobic sitting in the back seat.
My wife hasn't even sat in it but she's still totally against the idea. I told her I'd be buying one whether she liked it or not and she could keep the car we currently have.
Luckily the Elio should be affordable enough to make this possible.

Navigator, why did you want an Elio in the first place? What is it replacing? Who will drive it?Who currently drives the family car?
My wife was not against it at all, but if we go on a long trip she would likely get a lot of front seat time because she gets car sick easily. We're buying one because it makes sound financial sense. I can spend what I do now and keep driving my car (350 miles a week) with 200k+ miles or I can spend less than I do now and drive a new car; it's the easiest decision I've made in my life. Once the car is paid off then I will spend dramatically less. We will still have two other options for family errands or trips; our Jeep Cherokee and our motorhome.

You might but you already want one.

Sounds like a winning idea to me. LOL :-) ZWhen she is in the car, let her drive. She won't have to feel claustrophobic.
