    I have explained all the pros of getting the Fortuner including the higher resale when it comes time to replace it.

    Oh well, she doesn't seem convince with my explanations and argued that we aren't gonna sell it anyway for a very long time.. I have a feeling that the tall ingress of the Fort is the culprit because she was having a hard time climbing wearing an skinny jeans Wife is only 5 feet so I was a bit smiling when she was climbing..

    We will be test driving the Brv and Rush next, maybe next week so I still have a few days left to convince her. She was quite sold out with the Xpander while the agent was explaining all the features of Xpander.
    Not considering an Innova? Ride height is lower, so the wife will be happy. Good resale plus a more powerful engine than the 2017 Fort's so you will be happy.

    You may be able to get a 2018 model for the same money. Or, you can add the last 100+k and spring for a brand new 2.8E AT.

    still not low enough.
    hirap si misis kung ninang sa kasal.
    also, while she can open the hatch out back, she can't reach up enough to close it.
    buti na lang, there're the wigo and altis in the garage.
