suv with little kids

[waggy]

If you're talking lease, you can get by fine with any sedan for the next 2-3 years.

But after that, get a minivan. You'll be carrying your 1-2 kids, plus their friends. Soccer, t-ball, zoo, science center, movie theater, get ready for it. A minivan, with it's low entry and tons of storage is what you'll want.

And congratulations on being a dad. Highest highs, lowest lows.

agreed with everything

being a dad is great. some amazing highs and lows. but the highs are far far more frequent then the lows.

Family had a 2-door civic until I was 5 years old and brother was 8.

We lived.

psshhh, see, that is precisely why you want a small car! Other parents want you to tote their kids around, participate in the carpool, etc?

"Ah, sorry guys, got the 2-door here" :\

would rather walk than drive a minivan.

Where do you live? What's probably more important is if you have to handle snow or not. I certainly wouldn't be getting the Cayenne, I look at the back of my car and see what my son has done to it (2 car family) and wouldn't wish that on a $50K+ vehicle.

Porsche Cayenne is the quintessential SoCal mommy wagon.

Edit-Are you planning on having more than 1 kid? Pretty much any midsized sedan will haul a family of 3 or 4 in comfort and safety.

That is because you are not a woman. Most men could care less about the minivan "image."
