Upgrading To A Larger Family Vehicle

This is a sponsored post.





We are thinking of upgrading our family car. Well right now we are driving a Kia Sedan and it is a bit snug for a family of 5. We became a family of 5 last September. Living in New York we get a good deal of snow too. Snow, commuting, and comfort are 3 factors we are using to find our new vehicle.

We need to do some research and decide if we want a used or new car. We want a SUV that will fit 3 kids in the back seat. I have started to look on Cars.com and have found a few JEEP and other SUV's that I like. It shows where the vehicles are located and you can refine your search with price and location.

We never owned an AWD car but I really want one. Gas mileage is another factor when picking out a new car. Reliability and safety are very important as well.


Have you owned a SUV? Do you like it better than a car? What has been your favorite vehicle?

  1. I think SUVs are great family vehicles. I'm a Jeep fan, but this Kia sounds nice.

  4. We just did the recently. After the birth of our daughter (4 kids total) we needed something that would seat the whole fam comfortably and still have room for gym bags, back packs, groceries, etc. I live in PA so I felt an SUV is a necessity.

  6. I've had my Land Rover (which is a Jeep) for more that 16 years now and it never disappointed me: now it's starting to have some problem to the engine, but for the first 15 years you could have drive on walls with it!

  10. I've owned SUV's before but never a Jeep. Here in the next year, I will be looking again for an SUV and will certainly test drive a Jeep.

  11. We have an old Toyota Hylander but the newer models seem smaller now. My friend went with a Honda Pilot, which is roomier but a bit plain.

  12. We have not! I would be nervous to drive one though! I tend to be a bad driver with our midsized car ;) And the gas prices and mileage :P Yuck!
