I've posted a few threads about my aging Mazda 3. My check engine light came back on this week and it has >125k miles on it so I am preparing for the worst. I've been saving up for a new car for a little while and I know my next one will have to be family friendly; Must be able to fit 3 kids and possibly dog in the back and have room for luggage, etc.
I've been totally out of the "Car game" for years now, so I've got no idea what makes/models are considered good. Not really sure about budget; I'm not after a loaded Range Rover but I understand larger cars with AWD will probably cost >$25k, even slightly used. I've recently drove a loaded Ford Edge Titanium and it was very nice, but I'm weary of Ford reliability. I need a car that will last me well over 100k miles, preferably something I can drive for 10 years or more as I'm not really the type to need/want switch often. Cars to me are money pits even though I love admiring them. I've got other hobbies that soak up enough of my extra money.
What are the go to family AWD cars now? (no vans please... D: lol)
