I need a new car but which?

Question

Ok so I have 3 kids and I don't know if I should get a smaller vehicle because of gas prices or a suv because it's more roomy for my kids, groceries,activities, ect. please help

Answer 1

If you're looking for a compact SUV, I would check out the Tiguan. It drives more like a compact than an SUV and is very responsive, stable around turns, and incredibly smooth. It’s available in both an automatic or 6-speed manual transmission and gets 25 hwy MPG. It comes standard with a turbocharged 200hp engine and is available with 4Motion 4 wheel drive and has a carefree maintenance program. I have been working with VW to help spread the word and would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Feel free to email me at: [e-mail]. Thanks!

Chevy HHR gets decent gas mileage with the sporty look of an suv and has tons of room for the kids and groceries with plenty of growing room.

Answer 8

I have a 2005 Honda Pilot which I love but gas is crazy. I only get 15 miles per gallon, my boy's are 10,6,4 so I think soon were only going to need 1 car seat at that time we are getting a Honda Accord  and save a lot of money on gas.

I just have to keep the trunk clean for the sporting bags.

Answer 9

Answer 10

I had an accident a few weeks ago in my Ford Focus (32mpg) which got rear ended and pushed under a pick up truck. I walked away with minimal whiplash. That thing can take a beating, which is great for kids. However, the rental I am driving is an Escape Hybrid and is getting 28-30mpg on average!!! Great choice for the money!

Answer 11

SUV uses more gas...so don't go for that one. I'd recommend a Toyota Camry. These cars are great on gas, have plenty of room, and last forever. I have a '97 and I have never had any problems with it. And it's been everywhere from Florida to Maine. I recently went to the beach (took 5 hours) and barely used any gas. $15. http://www.acarplace.com/reviews/2005/ca...

Answer 12

Answer 13

Kia Rondo

The Kia Rondo is a five-door crossover vehicle that debuted at the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show. Based on the front-wheel-drive platform of the Kia Optima, the Rondo is shaped like a small minivan offering spacious legroom and headroom. Sharing engine, transmission and chassis components with the Optima, the Rondo is offered with a 162-horsepower 2.4-liter engine or a 182-horsepower 2.7-liter V6. The four cylinder comes with a 4-speed automatic while the V6 has a 5-speed automatic. Available in 5- and 7-passenger versions, the Rondo offers optional third-row seating that can fold down in a 50/50 split.

Answer 15

get a small front wheel drive 4cly suv like a ford escape, you will still get mpg in the high 20's and you have decent room for kids and stuff, if all your kids are fully grown then it might be a little tight for all three in the back but you will have to give up gas milage to get something big enough for three grown people in the back.

someone else said a hybrid, dont get one, they are alot more expensive and dont really get much better gas milage unless you do virtually all your driving in a city. and ontop of that they are hard to find.
