Car suggestions anyone

[Jamielyn]

Dh and I are looking for a "new" used car for our family. I am currently driving a 2000 Mirage. We are looking for a wagon or suv that will fit our two skin kids who are both in car seats (ages 5 and 2) and also enough room for our two fur babies when we travel. So far the only thing that my dh likes is the new dodge magnum. I think its a cool looking car but I really dont want to by a new car in its first year of production. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Jamielyn,

I'm not sure what your price range is, as that could make a huge difference in recommendations

But, I think I have the same dilamma's you have. My husband just purchased a new 2005 Audi Sedan. I *love* it -- but since it has leather and is otherwise brand new, our dogs will NEVER get to meet the Audi

Soooo, I am looking for a new car as well. But I want something that is either an SUV or wagon, so I have more room to haul around the fur and skin kids. So, this brings me to:

Land Rover Discovery
Volvo SUV (which is my current favorite)
Volkswagon Passat Wagon

Currently I am driving an Explorer, and I do not care for it too much

Hope this helps

I have 2 skin kids, and I drive a Chevy Tahoe. It has a third seat so when Aus comes for a ride I can stick one of the kids back there! Or you can fold the seats down for the doggies.

I have 3 kids 2 dogs and a suburban. I used to have a minivan but I got tired of having to take out the stroller every time I wanted to go grocery shopping, the back just was not big enough for both.

Hi. I am on Suburban #3. I love their size and saftey factor.

I have a Chevy Trailblazer that I LOVE. However, I am considering the new Land Rover LR3.

Thanks for the replys. I have some more cars to add to my list. Thanks again.

*sigh* i'd love to have a new Range Rover, but $80K+, i don't know if the furbabies would ever set foot in it.. we both currently have normal cars, no SUV's.. so when ever we are able to borrow an SUV (parents), it is awesome!, even a van is so much more convenient w/ the dogs! We really like the new tahoes.. or perhaps an Avalanche (friends of our breeders put a hutch.. looks totalyl different.. on theirs when they need to transport the dogs in their crates). Can't wait til we get an SUV! but not quite yet, as these gas prices are killer!

We currently have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and and a Jeep Liberty. I LOVE the liberty but its tight on trips with just DH and I and the 2 dogs. The Grand is a little more roomier but I hate how it drives.

We are in the market to replace the grand and we've decided to go with the audi allroad. We've been finding pretty decent prices with used ones.

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have a VW Toureg but I don't think we could afford a new one :(

I'd have to vote for Dİscovery Land Rover

That is so absolutely correct for a family who has kids and dogs
They also have diesel ones, if that makes any difference to you.
