So I have a 2006 subaru impreza wrx, yes it's a great car, but I need more space. I currently have 2 medium (60lb dogs) that I have to take all carseats out and put a sheet over the seat to take anywhere in my car. This becomes a hassle.
I run a small in home daycare and have anywhere from 1-4 kiddos depending on the day (note all kiddos are under age 3.5).
I WILL NOT purchase a mini van or a station wagon... I mean I'm only 23 I still need a fun car. Safety ratings of course always a plus, and I really don't want to give up AWD, so I'm thinking maybe mid-size SUV or crossover. Any ideas?
note: grandpa does have a mini van that we use on occasion, however it's become a huge deal just to borrow it for an hour that it's no longer worth the hassle.
edit: I think I'm leaning towards a 2010 ford explorer, although I'd like something with better gas mileage.
ETA: Also looking into the subaru forester sport edition. Basically the same engine as my impreza but it's a little boxier and has a hatch back for the dogs. No 3rd row however, and a funky 3 point belt in the center seat in the back row.
