Next vehicle purchase is going to be for the wife. It's probably going to be a boring crossover hybrid, but curious what you all have and like for your people movers.
My Short List:
- Safety for her and the fam
- Efficient - will be the default people mover, but if it can match or surpass her base 9th gen civic in MPGs, that would be preferred
- Bigger than her 9th gen civic base (everything is) - everything *can* baby, but enough space for family including doggo would be nice.
- I'll end up driving it probably as much as her, so if it isn't soul sucking, that too would be nice.
Right now, based on reliability, safety, and efficiency I'm leaning towards something like a barely used RAV4 Hybrid or Highlander Hybrid. Non-hybrids could work like something from Mazda but the E30 and Land Cruiser are for me, so really the new car makes more sense to be as efficient as possible while providing years of safety and drama-free miles. Not sure what to budget just yet, and in no rush to buy, so just trying to make a list of potential candidates for now.
