We need another car. Currently we have an Odyssey that's great for hauling kids and whatnot, but we need something else so we can run separate errands or whatever.
I'm thinking something smallish, along the lines of a Civic or something.
DH is thinking SUV or pickup (Pilot, F150) so he can haul things if he ever needs to.
Now, I figure on the rare occasions he needs to haul things, we can just take the seats out of the Odyssey. I want something smaller so it's cheaper, easier to fit places, better on gas mileage, etc. Considering that most of the time it will only carry the driver, I don't see the point in getting something big.
On the other hand, I do feel safer in a larger vehicle.
So we need to find some kind of compromise that makes sense to both of us.
Requirements:
* Must be able to fit three kids in the back seat (currently one RF, one FF, one booster, though the booster rider will likely 5-step soon)
* Under $25,000
* 2010ish or newer
* Not a Toyota
* Good safety ratings
* Good reliability
Ideas?
