Re: Buying a new car...

I personally would stick with Honda. I have a 2-door Civic and a 2007 CR-V. I love them both. The Civic has about 116,000 miles on it and still drives like it is brand new. The CR-V is awesome, too - love it. Both are great on gas.

If you're more interested in a Sedan, I really love the Accords, too.

i have a 2008 jeep liberty and i LOVE it.. and it also has GREAT side crash ratings.



We have the new '08 Jeep Liberty too and love everything about it! It's so darn cute, it rides well and it's not huge... this is my 3rd jeep (2nd liberty) in the last 8 years and i've loved every one of them.

I have an 08 Rogue and LOVE it!! it's great with gas (by comparison) and drives so nicely. We're Nissan people and have always had great experiences with them.

Keep the reviews coming as we're also looking for either a crossover or SUV with good gas mileage. The hunt will start fairly soon too.

I have a Honda CRV and LOVE it!!! I have 1 child now and another due in June. I can't recommend it enough it is considered a small SUV and gets top ratings from consumer reports.

We got ours at bablyon honda - they gave us the best price vs all of the Nassau locations.

Hondas are also great cars right now to buy b.c they are one of the top manufacturers whose cars continually have very high resale values.

I really like the look of the new Toyota Venza. I wish I was in the market for a new car because I would definitely look at that.

Re: Buying a new car...

whatever you buy, do your research. Check out Edmunds.com. that will give you the best price and will show what others are paying, option prices, and incentives. Its a great resource.

Re: Buying a new car...

where to start? go to the library and xerox the latest consumer reports car issue (I believe it comes out every spring?) that way you'll find a vehicle with the best repair history and review ratings Chat Icon

I love my prius.... would be too small for 2 kids, but for one, it is perfect! great milage, safe, great repair history... a good mid-sized sedan Chat Icon
