Baby should be here in the next few weeks and my 2005 mazda3 (different thread) is on the way out the door. Decided I wanted something more comfortable for a daily driver, quiet, good fuel economy, but with enough space to fit my 40lb dog, newborn, wife and all the accoutrements that come with on any trip (bob stroller, luggage, baby gear, etc.). Planned to put the dog in the boot and the baby in the backseat, though depending on the car keeping him the seat may be the only viable option. Under $30k would be preferable.
Been eyeing some of the new small SUV's, as well as crossovers, wagons and even some mid-size SUV's.
My incomplete current list i want to test drive so far;
Given what i need to carry - what do you rec?
