I'm married now with a newborn and I'm looking for something bigger(BUT NOT an SUV). I already have a weekend racer 93civic B16B1 custom turbo/nitrous.runs high 10s. Anyway, I like the looks of the Caddilac SRX w Northstar, Lincoln Blackwood and thats about it, My wifes got an 03 Passat 4motion. even that seems a little small for the seat and stroller plus groceries. Any suggestions would help. Oh as for price 60K is as high as I wanna go.

 

RL

 

TL.
(I don't like SUVs or trucks either, and not a fan of Cadillac styling.)

 

TL

 

'03 Mb G500

 

Go with TL over the Cadillac in regards to reliability alone.

 

Used Lexus GS300

 

get an RL

 

Sti

 

EDIT: didn't realize you wanted something bigger. Performance- Go for a used 5 series BMW M5's can go as low as 35K.

Or a TL...

 

I say get an M45, its way more car for the $$ than the RL, plus it looks a ton better.

 

I say RL or used M5 too

 

S60r

 

You can get these really cheap, I think they lose value quicker than a CL-S. A friend looked at a used 2004 a couple of weeks ago with 11,000 miles for $32,000.

 

ouch

 

If it's for family, I'd just get a 4 door Accord. Easy to drive for everyone. More then enough space. FWD for bad weather, good value, Doesn't break down, & cheap on gas.

 

If I had that type of money to spend, the RL would be at the top of my list.

 

If you want to stay in the Acura Family! (2004-2005 TL, 2005 RL)

I really suggest the TL cause its a very good car and the safety features are amazing!

 

Agreed

 

04+ Maxima FWD
NEW Infiniti M35 AWD
Or FX35 AWD despite its SUV.

 

RL ALL THE WAY!!! That car is soooo nice....

 

Nissan fan are we?

I'd also recommend the TL, but if you're looking for something bigger how about the Toyota Avalon? I haven't been inside the new Avalon yet, but my mom's old '96 Avalon is extremely roomy. The older Acura RLs while boring are also very roomy and very very reliable, you can probably snag an '04 sitting on the lot for real cheap I know the '04s were being pretty heavily discounted even before the '05 came out. The new RL is about the same space wise as the TL though.

At $60k you could also consider the Lexus LS430 which is a really nice car, and spacious but I dont know if you'd want something so luxurious with a kid.

 

thats not what car and driver said

go with a subaru forester turbo

 

I was thinking of getting a 3rd car since I just got married not too long ago and we're thinking of starting a family. We were gonna go the minivan route and I looked at the new Odyssey. Very nice....but to save a little money, I was thinking of the Accord sedan. Fairly inexpensive and reliable.

 

Well since you have a new one coming in...You need to start saving money too...Kids are expensive! So I agree with fuzzy02CLS

I say that or a TL. They have plenty of space. My bf is a big fan of the GS300. The reason he likes it is because it is so roomy. He said it makes him feel small and he is 6'4"! Good luck.

 

i like this car, and the wagon might be nice for you

or

i like these cause you never see them around

or how bout wait for the new RX 400 hybrid?

 

If you are interested I know of a 2001 EVO
that is a JDM model(actually stronger then that 300+ HP). It was used for EPA testing and the owner only wants $20K. PM if interested. But never the less many good choices out there: 2004 or 05 CTS-V
