All it will take is one break down with screaming toddlers in the car and a 75 min wait for AAA to convince folks with little peeps to have the latest model well running auto they can afford.

We settled on a Versa and will be zipping the 40.mpg auto across country a few times this year. I 've always liked the bliss of oil changes only.

Ditto the minivan comment, very affordable, great on insurance and relatively decent on gas

Thanks to everyone with their suggestions. I wanted to update the post because we picked up our 2008 Toyota Highlander Sport yesterday. We decided to take our $10K and use it to pay half the cost of the Highlander and finance the rest. Once again, thank you to bmwguydc for suggesting a Highlander!

Congratulations on your purchase! And, thanks for coming back and updating the thread as it's nice to know what vehicle was picked.
