New car for a family, any suggestions?

Question

I am looking to purchase a new car relatively soon for my family of 4. We currently own a minivan and would like to get something new that could seat all 4 of us comfortably and also have a good amount cargo space. Open to cars that seat 5 and SUV's that seat either 5 or up to 8. Good gas mileage is also a must! thanks!!!

Our budget is up to around $30,000

Answer 1

The 2008 Taurus will satisfy all your stated requirements AND it's been rated the safest full size car in America by the NHTSA

Or if you prefer a "Crossover" : The 2008 Taurus X will do the same (seats 7)

Answer 2

The 2008 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable are perfect for you. They can both seat up to 5 people, have best in class interior room, best in class trunk space, rated the safest full sized sedan in America, has 263 hp, and gets decent gas mileage.

For SUV's, the Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer other great choices. They can seat 7, has a 3rd row seat that can fold into the floor of the vehicle which gives you more trunk area rather than manually having to fold up the seats that lean against the 2nd row, have great AWD, and also gets decent gas mileage.

The 2008 Taurus X is a great alternative from an Explorer or a Mountaineer if you want better gas mileage. It can seat up to 7 and has been rated the safest 7 passenger crossover in America.

The 2007 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX are great if you need an SUV that you will use to drive all around town with your kids or just commuting and, like the other vehicles I listed, want acceptional gas mileage and safety.

Answer 5

Kia Sedona's a great buy. It's the safest mini on the market and can be purchased with premium luxury options- and still cost under 30K, brand spankin' new. 250 Horses and lots and lots of cargo space. It'll get about 25MPG as well. That's pretty good for such a large vehicle.

They also have the Sorento with available 4WD.

I bought my Kia for the warranty. I like that it's paid for with years left on the warranty.
