Default A subject many of you will be lost discussing......

Family cars.

So I am looking for another car with more room as the old lady's corolla is just too small. Don't really want a big SUV or crossover. Needs to have seating for at least 5 and a good sized cargo area for the pups. Why can't anyone make decent sized wagons anymore lol.

Any thoughts?

Dodge Magnum came to mind but seen too many tranny issues.

How big are Subaru Outbacks?

hands down if i had to get a differnet or could get a new 4dr id check out the pontiac g8's...beast power great gas milage and 4drs witha huge trunk... not the best for pups but the back seats do fold down 60-40 and are hard liner so no worries about tearing upthe backs... no wagon but just a much room...

This. My friends bought one as a daily driver. He can fit an ls1 engine in the back and that sold him. Though i really don't think his fiancee will let him do that.

I've ridden in it and its nice. The mpg is good unless you stick your foot into it like he does. lol

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
