We are probably going to spring for an SUV when our other car dies. </p> <p>It has lot of room in the back and can definitely accommodate two car seats. It also gets 38 mpg highway which is great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-mid-sized-sedan-or-wagon#post-1357668 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 20:57:01 +0000 matador84 1357668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 2013 outback and loveeeeee it!

Has a hatchback and so easy with car seats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-mid-sized-sedan-or-wagon#post-1357551 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 19:15:17 +0000 Den mom 1357551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another Subaru! Between My husband and I we've had 3 and love them. I think the forester is a good option too, but I've never owned one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-mid-sized-sedan-or-wagon#post-1357540 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 19:03:20 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1357540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Jetta sports wagon.

We will definitely consider getting another one. I like the Impreza and the Crosstrek. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-mid-sized-sedan-or-wagon#post-1357167 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:11:12 +0000 Silva 1357167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Toyota matrix.its a great car. It has a ton of room and lasts forever. Mine is a 2004 with 175,000 miles on it. Great gas mileage. I love this car.<br /> I'd love a Subaru outback, but we can't afford one right now. This Toyota has been great, and I highly recommend it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-mid-sized-sedan-or-wagon#post-1357164 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:09:30 +0000 pinkcupcake 1357164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents have the new Highlander - I think it's a nice size. Not too big, not too small. The Venza is nice, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-mid-sized-sedan-or-wagon#post-1357162 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:09:08 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1357162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been happy with my Subaru Impreza. Is there some reason you wouldn't stick with a Subaru? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-mid-sized-sedan-or-wagon#post-1357158 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:07:45 +0000 Bookish 1357158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is also a good time of year to see if there are 2013s left. I know for the cars/SUVs I'm looking at, there are still 2013s on the lot and for a few thousand less. They want those gone off their lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-mid-sized-sedan-or-wagon#post-1357153 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:03:37 +0000 snowjewelz 1357153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The new Honda Fit? Or is that TOO small? My dad has the Outback Sports, he is a Subaru loyalist and he would tell you to get another one lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-mid-sized-sedan-or-wagon#post-1357142 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 15:57:07 +0000 Weagle 1357142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Accords are always a reliable choice for sedans. Decent size, holds its value, decent gas mileage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-mid-sized-sedan-or-wagon#post-1357133 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 15:53:51 +0000 NCSUchick27 1357133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really want an SUV, but I think we are going to wait a few years before we buy one. We are thinking more along the lines of a sedan or hatchback right now because they are generally cheaper. We don't need an SUV yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-mid-sized-sedan-or-wagon#post-1357132 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 15:53:36 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1357132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Mazda 5, which is a "sport wagon" but it's also a mini minivan. Gets really good gas mileage, very quiet and smooth, but can be really zippy too, which is nice on the highway when you need to pass people. I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-mid-sized-sedan-or-wagon#post-1357126 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 15:48:47 +0000 Bookish 1357126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got some good suggestions a couple days ago for small SUVs on this thread: </p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-small-suv-for-my-family" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-small-suv-for-my-family</a></p> <p>Might be bigger than what you are looking for, but hopefully it helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-mid-sized-sedan-or-wagon#post-1357117 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 15:44:55 +0000 blackbird 1357117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my honda crv. it'll definitely fit 2 car seats and it doesn't suck a ton of gas. It's not quiiiite mid sized, though? Not mid sized like, toyota highlander midsized. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-mid-sized-sedan-or-wagon#post-1357107 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 15:41:35 +0000 NCSUchick27 1357107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got a huge quote to fix our 2002 Subaru Outback Sport. The quote is more than the car is worth so we are probably going to be buying a new or slightly used car this weekend.</p> <p>We don't have any kids yet, but we will in the next couple of years. This car will not be our family car, but it needs to be able to fit at least one or two car seats. This car will mostly be a commuter car so we aren't looking for anything fancy. </p>
