My husband and I have been wanting to upgrade our 2012 Nissan Sentra to a more spacious and family orientated car. We have a 2 year old toddler and are expecting so we knew we wanted to be able to move around our precious treasures and have extra storage for all of their essentials for long road trips - visits to grandparents and so on.
We briefly considered getting a SUV but the problem with that is there would just be 5 seats. We wanted to have at least 7 seats, ideally 8 seats for when family from another state come to visit. My husband and I ended up coming up with a list of vehicles that would fit this criteria.
Whenever there's a big financial situation involved, my husband likes to crunch numbers to figure out what the true cost to own would be - factoring in resale value, depreciation, normal wear, maintenance, etc. It was also helpful to use cars.com to see price comparisons between used and new as well as what is available in our area. There's even a nifty loan calculator to figure out what you'll be paying per month.
I would also definitely recommend going into the car dealerships as well to sit in the vehicle and test drive to see what features you like and how you feel behind the wheel.
In the end, we decided to go with a 2018 Toyota Highlander and we love it.
