What type of cars and what size of car would you consider to be the ideal "family car"? What kind of car did you/do you drive with young kids?
DH and I are thinking of adding a human kid to family of three (me, him, and puppy) in the next few years. But we need a new car sooner since mine is 12 years old and DH got a new job where he has to drive >90 miles a day...and he wants to get a 4-wheel drive before the winter. I would be the primary driver and he would just take that car in bad weather, since his current car is a pretty new Honda Civic which gets great gas mileage.
We're looking at small AWD SUVs like Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester, Toyota Rav-4...but my parents suggested I'd want something bigger if we have kids. What do you think?
