Hello all, new here.. sorry if this thread already exists or if it's in the wrong place!
We are in the market for a 2-3 year old car. We do not want an SUV, minivan, truck, or compact. Safety is the biggest concern, but next is price. Then gas mileage. Also our Marathon would need to fit, of course. I'd like to spend between 10k and 15k.
I currently have a '99 Chevy Malibu, and I really like it, but it's time for a newer car with LATCH. DH will probably start driving this car when we get the 'new' one, and sell his Ford Probe.
Does anyone like the newer Malibus? I love Volvos, but not sure if I could afford one with that price range. We considered a Prius for a long time, but I don't think they're safe enough.
I'd love to hear all feedback and recommendations. I wanted to come here before browsing a bunch of dealership websites, as there is a wealth of knowledge about safety and cars here!
I'm still figuring out how to add a signature. DD is 13-months old, RF in a Britax Marathon, 23 lbs, and 29 inches.
