We will be looking to upgrade the size of one of our vehicles in the next year (currently a VW Rabbit 4-door) as we have one little one, plus 2 dogs, and will be having a another baby in the near future. I LOVE my current car, but find the trunk space rapidly fills up when we go somewhere for more than a day, and the biggest problem is that we really can't fit the dog kennel anywhere now that we have a carseat in the back seat.

Looking for recommendations from people on medium or large sized vehicles (SUVs, cross-over SUV's, or small vans) that have a lot of cargo space, plus plenty of rear seat space.
Also, safety ratings are obviously a factor, as well as reliability, convenience, gas mileage, etc. Basically, I'm looking for the perfect car... :eek:)

That narrows it down to exactly eleventy billion vehicles. Pretty much every crossover, SUV, and minivan meet those requirements.

New, used?
Budget?

Start looking at the Mazda 5. $20k-ish for good equipment, fuel economy, and 2+2+2 seating, so the 3rd row can be folded down for your pets.

APT is right that there are SOOOOO many options available that meet those needs. Eleventy billion is probably the exact number.

I do, however, like to gush about my Kia Sedona, so be sure to put that one on your list of vehicles to look at. Nothing beats a minivan for ease of getting kids/cargo/pets in and out, and you have your pick of awesome safety ratings and features.
