ETA: Honda Accord Crosstour 4WD/AWD?? Thoughts? Anyone driven one yet?
Ok, so I know this is like a lot of the other posts on here but I'd still like your feedback!
I have a 2009 Ody so we are not looking at minivans. His Altima lease is ending so he needs to pick something else...if we go with a car again we'd go with either the Altima or Accord on the $199 lease specials right now. So let's talk about option B...he is sort of leaning towards buying something bigger.
He does commute to work 18 days every 5 week period which is about 40 miles roundtrip. So gas mileage is sort of important, we considered buying a small older car just for him to use for work but the cost of ownership doesn't catch up with the benefits for a looong time so we decided it wasn't worth it... but keep that in mind.
We have 2 children, 5 y.o. in Frontier, 19 month old, MA, are considering trying for a 3rd soon! (BTW I am not opposed to buying new seats, so if these are too big I am sure I could find something else) Very large dog who occasionally travels with us. Live in the Midwest so snow and such sometimes causes a need for 4WD, plus our lifestyle includes spending time in outdoors/offroad. Travel quite a bit as both of our families are far away. So the second vehicle need sto be reliable and large enough that if for some reason we didn't want to take the van we could take his vehicle... also DH is 6'4 so leg room becomes an issue in small SUV's.
Some he has mentioned...
Sequoia (2007-2008)
Nissan Titan Crew Cab (2008)
Ford SuperCrew (New)
Toyota FJ7 (or something like that??)
We are really wide open at this point and just want some ideas and feedback from folks before we start our shopping trip! Most likely we will be buying a late model used vehicle...unless we stumble on a great deal on a new one!
