This morning, I noticed a wee bit of smoke coming out of the exhaust of my beloved 1999 Saab 9-3. I had previously considered replacing the car, but it only has 129k miles, so I figured it had a few more years in it. Now, I'm thinking the repairs will likely exceed the value of the car, so perhaps it is time to move on.
DH drives a Volvo XC70, which is nice, but a bit boat-like in my opinion. I really love the zippiness and great handling of my 9-3, but think I may want something bigger for kid-moving around purposes. I test-drove a CRV, but did not like the handling and thought it took too long to accelerate, especially for my area (very short entrance ramps). I suppose I have gotten used to tubro.
DH suggested a Ford Escape. It seems quite big! Does anyone have one?
Anyone love her car and want to suggest one? I also have two large dogs so it would be great to have some room for doggies too. I am not really thinking a mini-van. I'd likely buy a used car, and would not spend more than maybe 25k?
TIA!
