We are thinking of upgrading our family car. Well right now we are driving a Kia Sedan and it is a bit snug for a family of 5. We became a family of 5 last September. Living in New York we get a good deal of snow too. Snow, commuting, and comfort are 3 factors we are using to find our new vehicle.
We need to do some research and decide if we want a used or new car. We want a SUV that will fit 3 kids in the back seat. I have started to look on Cars.com and have found a few JEEP and other SUV's that I like. It shows where the vehicles are located and you can refine your search with price and location.
We never owned an AWD car but I really want one. Gas mileage is another factor when picking out a new car. Reliability and safety are very important as well.
Have you owned a SUV? Do you like it better than a car? What has been your favorite vehicle?
I think SUVs are great family vehicles. I'm a Jeep fan, but this Kia sounds nice.
ReplyDeleteI love SUVs. I miss having one!
ReplyDeleteI bought a Jeep just for the snow we get in Pa, and love it!
ReplyDeleteWe just did the recently. After the birth of our daughter (4 kids total) we needed something that would seat the whole fam comfortably and still have room for gym bags, back packs, groceries, etc. I live in PA so I felt an SUV is a necessity.
ReplyDeleteWe do not have a SUV, but the extra space would be nice to have.
ReplyDeleteI've had my Land Rover (which is a Jeep) for more that 16 years now and it never disappointed me: now it's starting to have some problem to the engine, but for the first 15 years you could have drive on walls with it!
ReplyDeletewe have such a small car too, ive been telling my hubby we need an upgrade, great post, thank you
ReplyDeleteWe're looking for a bigger van, i'll have to check this out.
ReplyDeleteWe were looking at a Chevy equinox.
ReplyDeleteI've owned SUV's before but never a Jeep. Here in the next year, I will be looking again for an SUV and will certainly test drive a Jeep.
ReplyDeleteWe have an old Toyota Hylander but the newer models seem smaller now. My friend went with a Honda Pilot, which is roomier but a bit plain.
ReplyDeleteWe have not! I would be nervous to drive one though! I tend to be a bad driver with our midsized car ;) And the gas prices and mileage :P Yuck!
ReplyDeleteNever owned one, but I would love one of the smaller SUV's
ReplyDeleteNever had an SUV. No kids so no need.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!

I'd love to upgrade to this. I love Jeep.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great. I could definitely see our family in one.
ReplyDeleteI haven't owned an SUV but this is something to consider in the next few years when I need a new car. Thanks!
ReplyDeletewe dont have a car yet, and i am super struggling with this... i know i will need an suv and ive been fighting it hard...
ReplyDeleteWe have a Kia Soul and we love it.
ReplyDeleteI just got my first SUV last year and I live it because it snows here and can be difficult to get around.
