HELP!!!! I need help choosing a new car! Dale and I are finally trading in my 2001 Toyota Camry for something a little bigger as our family expands. It is just clear to us that my little car is not going to seat 2 carseats, 2 adults, a dog and all our stuff. So we need to upgrade. Talk about some tough decision making! I had no idea the market was filled with so many options. Fancy me and help me choose a car!
Our Needs:
Somewhat fuel efficient
Seats 5+
Hatchback
Winter Ready
Dog Friendly
Spacious for camping gear
4WD (not an absolute must)
Between 2002-2007 model
Under $10,000
God forbid if anyone of you recommend a minivan. I am 24 and while I love growing up and being a mom, I don't know if I am ready to be a soccer mom, van driving mom. What's next? Playdates and princess pageants???
Well I sure know how you feel!! We are loving our Equinox. It's AWD, but that's good enough to 4WD for us. Are you thinking SUV? Or more of a crossover? Also on our list were Saturn Vues (but they are a smaller SUV) and Pontiac Torrents. My parents have a Ford Escape and GMC Yukon. I love the Yukon, but totally pricey.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!! I know you will find something great!
I have a Kia Rondo and it's okay. Seemed HUGE till we had a baby...
ReplyDeleteI want to trade it in for an actual suburban or a mini van! :] I can't resist. I just love them.
