Happy Four year anniversary to Bentley and I, This was my anniversary gift this year. We knew we wanted to get a new car and spent 2 months seeing if we could tighten our budget so that we could get an SUV. The reason we wanted to get a new car, It was tight fitting in  Bentley's Mazda 3 with two people on trips and my Dodge neon was just to small too. We could barley fit two people stuff in his car we like taking our guns and bows and we have to take food with us when we go to Wyoming so we decided now that their is three of us it would be best also if we had another kid with a car it fits 5 and we are at five all ready so now we can have grandparents in the car too. Why we choose this one, I know I said i really wanted the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder but we decided that it didn't fit our "Lifestyle" we love the outdoors and this one fitted our life style  better. The 2013 is on a unibody and has lower clearance then the 2012 while as the 2012 is on a truck chassis and has more clearance so we can take it up in the mountains. Also the 2013 has only 2 wheel and 4 wheel drive, while the 2012 has 2 wheel, 4 wheel high and 4 wheel low drive. Bentley inisisted that I needed a backup camera which is true so we have a back up camera now. I really love the choice we made, I can't wait to take Danika through yellowstone when she is old enough to see out the windows we will be Higher up and she can see alot more.
