We were a one car family for the longest time and used to commute together. It worked at the time, but a second car made life much easier. Of course DH ended up buying a Mazda Miata right before we found out I was pregnant. His '99 Mazda drives well, and we haven't had any problems DH can't fix. Hope your husband enjoys his new car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-car-family-again#post-321125 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:56:14 +0000 sunny 321125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations!

Congrats on the car! We love my Mazda3. It's a 2008 and I have 100,300 miles on it. All I've done is change the oil and tires. Mazda's are great cars. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-car-family-again#post-321099 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:44:08 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 321099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Post a pic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-car-family-again#post-321098 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:43:46 +0000 CATWOMAN 321098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Mazda 6! love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-car-family-again#post-321064 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:29:37 +0000 erwoo 321064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats! I can only imagine how hard it would be to have only one car for as long as you have, especially if you both need it. Mazda 6 is bigger than a Honda Civic too so even better! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-car-family-again#post-321052 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:24:32 +0000 prettylizy 321052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woohoo!

I heard Mazdas are great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-car-family-again#post-321033 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:18:30 +0000 DillonLion 321033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While sharing a car has been nice for spending time together and saving on gas, it has been very complicated trying to coordinate our schedules 100% of the time and/or having to rely on family and friends to help us when we need to be in two places at the same time. I'm so thankful for the flexibility our new second car gives us. We found something in our price range and paid for it in cash, so there is no extra car payment cutting into our budget every month! Our savings took a little hit to cover the balance, since our insurance check from our last vehicle didn't cover the entire purchase price. But, we can work on building that back up and not have to worry about making installment and interest payments monthly. Yay!</p> <p>The place we purchased the car from includes a 3 month warranty on all of their vehicles (for no extra cost if you meet the asking price). So, we are pretty much covered if any catastrophes pop up with it during my 3 month maternity leave starting in a few weeks! I know that means we probably paid more than we should by meeting the asking price, but I like the peace of mind this gives us while we don't have my income to count on during my maternity leave. </p> <p>For those of you that offered advice on car shopping, specific brands, etc. THANK YOU!! Your advice was much appreciated. </p> <p>DH fell in love with a 2006 Mazda6 since it was a little more stylish and a better fit for him than the Civic's we were considering. I hope this car works out and we can to drive and enjoy it for many years to come! </p>
