I think there is a couple of IS300s on autotrader for like 13

what do you guys think of the 02 g20 or a 01 volvo s40. g20 is listed at 13,900.00 and the s40 is listed at 11,900.00. g20 has 28,xxx miles and s40 has 45,xxx miles. so what do you guys think as is safety and reliability???? let me know! thanks

how about a used Subaru WRX.... should be fun and functional

i have a friend with a G20 and it is pretty nice. i also would like the s40 as a family car too, im trying to make my mom get one. the 1.8t too.

If its verse a 2000-G20 or a 2000 s40 go with the g-20. Looks a lot nicer imo. If your looking for brand new the 2005 s40 t5 awd is awosme.

2000-2003 model maximas are nice and practical for a family. And it looks sporty too.

For reliability and comfort, you can't go wrong with the Accord.

why not a tsx...its nice and can be sporty..loook hella sexy..i think..

well the thing is, its for my wife anyway. so i need something practical and affordable and when i do get to take the "family" car out i don't really want that family car feeling when i drive it. you inputs are really good, and keep em comming. i need to keep my options open. thanks!!!

I love my WRX and it has enough room to fit my friends in the back. It is very functional and very sporty, plus the potential is amazing in case you wanted to do something with it in the future.

i was thinkin a tsx. you read my mind..

well consider all 4 door sedan is a family car...it all depend on wat u lik..honda isnt that bad...accord is nice it got alot of space in the back for the kids....the civic is kinda tight a lil...the camry & maxima is alot of room too...if u dont want a faimly car feelin then i guess u could throw some rims on it and low it down..make me it look sporty...goodluck...i hav a daughter ..i got a 2001 civic 4 door..it nice ..not bad at all..i dont thiink it a family car bc i throw rims on it...Imao

yeah thats true. well i got some time cuz i have kid on the way. i got until mid june til my first kid. im thinkin about saftey too. its got me all worked up about it but its all good. about the rims theres no doubt about that but i dunno about lowering it. dont know how my wife will have a liking to it but i'll shoot her the idea.. THANKS!!

r u vietnamese??just wonderin..if u low it down make show u hav a soft ride for the baby...

stay away from a European car if your lookin for a cheap family car..cuz remember there parts and labor is expensive.

Couple things to remember..low miledge,reliablity,and extended warranty which covers the necc stuff

whats the last couple cars u have on ur list ?

mitsubishi diamante. my fam just got one ('97) and it feels like a limo compared to the celi. and its a v6 and you could find them for pretty cheap. very spacious!

how about a Mazda6s Hatchback? I saw it at the LA auto show and thats gonna be the next car I own The trunk is ginormous and so is the interior space. Maybe im just a hatchback junkie but I had some fun driving a 04 6s sedan and its alot more responsive than an accord or camry. Interior noise is a bit loud tho if it matters

plus it has hooks in the back seat to fasten baby seats to

available in auto or manual, sedan or wagon
