We will be needing a new vehicle soon and just don't know which way to go with this. We will be having a third child next year so we would like something that will accomodate 3 full sized people/carseats in the second row (ie, wider than the Corolla) as well as enough cargo space to hold camping gear, etc. Idealy we would love it to have a fold down third row so we could carry extra passengers when not needing the cargo room, but don't know if it is worth the extra money or if we can afford to have that option. It must be a safe car and have lots of life left in it, but we can't afford anything new.
Here's what I have it narrowed down to so far:
Toyota Sienna (8 passenger) or Volvo xc90 < $15,000
Saturn Vue for probably half the cost of the 7-8 passenger vehicles listed above
Will I regret not having the extra passenger capacity or will I regret paying so much more for it? Please give me your thoughts and any other suggestions. I am open to anything. Thanks!!
