Yep, I've owned two Acura's in the past and they were superb. I tend to agree with you all that space is going to be a real issue. I want to get her into a larger car if possible. She likes the maneuverability of smaller cars although I have shown her over and over that she can do just fine in larger car. She drives the crap out of my X5 but doesn't like to go to malls or grocery stores with it due to small parking spaces (thankfully!).
In the end, whatever she gets
must be sporty. After 2 vettes, a turbo Mazda, modded Maxima... she's hooked on performance and handling. She won't drive the nice Avalon or anything like it for that reason. Got to have firm sport suspension, low-pro tires, quick steering, aggressive looks, etc. You should have seen the grin on her face when she was manual-shifting the TL at 6500 RPM. I'll see if she will drive the RL and new M this weekend.
Thanks to all of you for your opinions, it is all very helpful.
