[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 young elementary kids) and we have thus far been car-free. Since public transport is dodgy, we need a car.

We'll be taking short trips within the city, to school and stores and parks and such. And we'll also drive down 95 to visit family 2-3x year. We need something that fits in our tiny 1930s garage — 86" wide x 82" tall x I don't know how long, but not that long.

We have no means of car shopping in person so need to pick something online based on what we know. I will only buy a make that I've driven and like, so that leaves:
-Honda
-Acura
-VW
-Nissan
-Subaru

Definitely no Chevy, Mazda, Mini, Dodge, or other piece o' crap.

I'm guessing with the size of our garage, we can't get something that will fit more than 5.

Budget is 20-25k, very interested in used because we can get more for our money, but not sure CarMax will deliver and don't want to buy used from a dealer.

Safety is high priority. I also need decent pickup, can't drive a slug.

I can probably narrow it down a bit more, but would appreciate any suggestions on where to really start. Thanks!

Please take VW out of your list. They drive pretty nice, but depreciate a lot, it will be in shop more than in your garage after 3years/60k miles (shortly after warranty runs out) :-)[/quote]
