Hi all, this is my first post but I look at and love this site! We unfortunately lost our 2001 Mazda mpv in a crash a few weeks ago and were not in a financial position to get a new vehicle. Now we have begun the search with $2000 down and a budget of $12,000 So far, car shopping seems like gambling... We have taken 3 vehicles to our mechanic and 2 of them needed extensive work. The 3rd, a 2003 passat wagon checked out fine but we are having the issue with our RF radians wedging against the sest backs, even with the angle adjusters the salesman says since the car manuel doesn't say you can't do it, that it's fine, safer even! Maybe so but I'm reading conflicting evidence here. what is it? And also, what newer cars are roomier, safe and affordable? We've looked at the versa hatchback online and are in love w price and safety just not sure about the seats. Any advice is very welcomed
