What kind of car do you have?! Under 27k
I am in the market for a new car. I have a DD who is 10 weeks old. I never realized how much space I need! I also drive into Queens so I need something pretty fuel friendly. I am tossing around the idea of an SUV. But....parking in Queens can be tough. I am also thinking of a Prius. I also love the 10 year-100k warranty of a hyundai Mitsubishi and Kia. Any thoughts or suggestions? Anyone have the Tuson?

I looked at the Tucson and there was Ike no trunk space... So I went with the sonata... So roomy both in the interior and trunk space!!! Very safe car, rides beautifully... I have no complaints. Have had mine for almost 2 yrs now.

Thank you!!! How was it with the car seats do you have to keep the seats pulled or moved up?

I have a Prius with three kids. The car is amazing. I also commute to Queens and get about 54 mpg.

I have a pretty large carseat... The britax boulevard and have it rear facing and dh can drive my car just fine (I have the carseat on the drivers side). There is a ton of leg room in the back as well... So def no issues with that... Def sit in that car and you'll see how amazing it is!

I have a Chrysler 200. Tons of room. No need to have the seats moved forward cause of the car seat. And I have plenty of room for 2 adults in the back in addition to the seat. Trunk is HUGE

Re: What kind of car do you have?! Under 27k
I have a Santa Fe and love it. I commuted from Nassau to Queens. It has more room than a Tuscon and can absolutely be parallel parked (my brother had one while living in Astoria and worked in Manhattan). It drives like a car. You won't get the same gas mileage as a Prius but it's pretty decent for an SUV.

Why would insurance be more on a Kia? We have a Kia minivan and insurance is pretty inexpensive. Kia's are inexpensive cars so makes sense that insurance would be pretty cheap, right?

Re: What kind of car do you have?! Under 27k
I had a Jeep Liberty until DD came along and I had no room for anything. I decided I needed something bigger but I didnt want to spend the money on fuel for a bigger car. The Jeep was getting 19 mpg. So, I did some research and decided to test drive the Toyota Highlander Hybrid. We couldnt afford brand new so I looked used and it was so HARD to find one. Finally found one and it only had 20K miles on it and I LOVE it! AND it gets 25 mpg for an SUV! We have plenty of room and DH is 6'4!
ETA: We paid about $24K with a trade in and we have the Britax Marathon rear facing and still have room

Take a look at the Buick Encore. Perfect size for what you described, excellent on gas, etc.

I have the Toyota Rav 4. We actually spent a little more for the optional third row and love it. It's pretty roomy and has a lot of space for a small SUV. It's great on gas too! I'm very happy with it.

We fit sooo much in the trunk, it's pretty crazy. Rides great, affordable and brand new for under your price.
We bought at the Hyuandai Dealership in Bayside - our sales guy was Phillip Robinson and he was great.
