Gang - Its not fishing, but with the wealth of knowledge on this site gotta ask.
Family moving back late June, Beka's starting to think about new cars, with gas prices she's looking for a new (or 1 yearold) 4 banger good gas mileage 4 door wagon/hatch. Needs something big enough for the 4 of us and our 2 small pups with a little hatch space for shopping bags. She won't be able to look at them or test drive them for 2 months, but want to narrow the field.
Any of you have good/bad experiences with any of the following, or know of any i'm missing? She's looking in the idealy 20-25k new price range, nothing too small (Honda Fit is too small) but nothing too big/gas mileage wise:
- Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix
- Kia Spectra 5, Kia Rhono
- Mazda 5, Mazda 3 hatch
- Toyota Prius
Trep
Mac - GM gonna release any new/hot hatches in the next 2 months?? I know Shanghai GM has a real nice small 4 door wagon here, but haven't seen one in the US.
Me - I'm going the pickup or sport ute route, but that won't be till Nov at this rate :-(
