Car websites

[tommymac]

Well the mrs gave me a list of cars shes interested in. Can you guys recommend any sites to go to to see what the pros/cons are of these vehicles and see what any inherent problems are.

I went to the manufacturer websites so far just to research prices and features and stuff, but nee dmore honest opinions

http://thetruthaboutcars.com

http://home.autos.msn.com/ and yahoo autos (not bad if you have a car in mind and you want to user reviews)

Question I would ask: Are you more apt to haul things that need to stay enclosed, or larger things in the bed?
Passenger room is about the same unless you get 3rd row seating is generally not good for adult seating anyway.

Since you got the lil one go with suv (need the back for stroller and misc)
Unless your wife is a contractor, skip the pickup.

I was hoping for the pick up so I can throw the bike in the back. Living on th esouth shore sucks in terms of pulling a trailer, the SS is off limits so its either go north or deal with sunrise hwy.

Since we had the baby the SUV seems to be the more logical choice esp since my track time will be greatley reduced for this year
