What kind of vehicle would you recommend for a 2-kid family?
We have a 4-yr old Impreza hatchback,which we love, and a 16-yr old Honda Accord. We're going to replace the Accord eventually, but not sure with what.
I always liked hatchbacks over sedans, but now that I understand the dangers of projectiles better, I am more and more impressed by sedans. Is one better than the other for vacations and other kid outings?
Because we're only planning on 2 kids, any regular 5-passenger vehicle seems fine, but do we need a bigger vehicle in order to accommodate our kids' friends? Even though I came from a 2-kid family, we always had a minivan, so I'm unfamiliar with what it's like to grow up without a car that can accommodate additional people outside the nuclear family. What do modern parents with kids in safety seats do about sleepovers and carpooling?
