She was looking at hatchbacks because it is easier with the dogs rather than having a trunk.
So far I think she looked at the Mazda 3 hatchback and the Nissan Juke.
What is everyones recommendations? Do you have a favorite midsize, SUV, crossover thing that gets decent mpg and has enough space for our whole family?
Budget is cheaper is better but max probably in the $25k range.
Thanks BG car people!
