Since this car saved me today when my Frontier's factory battery died, I guess I'll give a quick update.
A little over a month ago the car crossed 150k miles (241k km). No real issues still. The AC is acting up though, either the magnet on the clutch is acting up again (I've replaced it twice now), or possibly it's time for a recharge.
However, with Gena no longer working in town 4 days a week, it's not really getting many miles put on it anymore. She drives it the 3 miles to the racetrack a couple days a week and uses it for the odd shopping trip in town.
A replacement is being discussed, but nothing had been decided as we are waiting for the used car market to cool down. The word minivan keeps getting used. I'm scared and slightly aroused.

You’re scaroused? This mean an addition is in the works human-wise?
I’ve been fascinated by the last or latest Nissan Quest because it’s very Japanese and yet square. If I needed a minivan, that would be it. Or a transit connect.

One small human is enough, plus in 7-8 years he'll hopefully move out and become a productive member of society. Just thinking about vacations and Accutime trips. The truck is fine, but a little cramped for the rear seat passengers. Plus, it's getting on in miles and something lower mileage is usually a good thing.
Leading contender is the Honda. I know, boring and predictable, but sometimes that's what you want. The Toyota comes in second, followed by the Nissan. The Transit Connect always gets shot down by the intended driver.
Heck, if the Altima keeps plugging along, it may not get replaced until the small human is driving himself (a tick over 4 years from now).
