Is the RX REALLY more reliable?
http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/pr...sb/results.cfm vs http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/pr...sb/results.cfm Note that the first list of TSB's is for the 06 RX330. There were NO TSB's for the 06 X3 so I did a search for the 05 X3. There were only 3 TSB's, and only ONE was mechanical. There was one recall for the 06 RX, but none for either the 05 or 06 X3. Understand what a TSB is...the manufacturer keeps statistics on what parts are failing. When they see enough failures they issue TSB's to help the dealer fix the problem (I have a friend who worked for Nissan writing TSB's so I am familiar with the process). What is the significance of the RX having 3 times more TSB's than the X3? Well, it means that they are having more cars with significant problems. And THOSE are the FACTS reported by a neutral party. I personally challenge anybody to show FACTS that support that the RX is more reliable than the X3. Not "I had one and it was great..." Not "everybody knows Toyota is more reliable..." And not Consumer Reports because those ratings are based on the consumer's personal subjective experiences. I am looking for some actual hard, neutral, objective facts. Rant over...

In either case good communication can make a purchase more equitable if both have some input. Women think different and quite frankly are very intelligent. They see things men don't and for that reason their input is valuable and should be considered carefully .

Sure; why not? It's a vehicle and in the scheme of things not really that important. As I stated her opinion matters because she's smart and i respect her opinion. Of course the final decision is mine but that's my relationship with my bride. One thing for sure i expect the marriage to last a lot longer than any car i will ever have and to me that's personal.
We both have the cars we prefer driving but if she decides to take mine no problem. If i decide to take hers; no problem. It's a marriage. She know what i expect if she takes my ride and i know how to treat her's it's called mutual respect. It's called a marriage.  Quote:

If your wife likes the RX, then let her have it. The arguments that will sprout up after you get an X3 and the complaints and whining won't be worth it. After all, if she thinks cars are appliances, then by all means go ahead. It will mostly be her driving right?
If you really want a shot at it, point out and first convince her to wait for a model refresh. She'll be forced to wait. And then maybe by the time the refresh comes out, she'll change her mind. Women aren't the most decisive when it comes to cars............
