We're heading off tomorrow to look at new cars. After a lot of research, our top two picks are the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe or the 2013 Mazda CX-5. The third contender is the Honda CRV.

We're not really in the best position financially to be getting a new car, but SO's car is on it's last legs. It currently has about $6K in trade in value, but if anything mechanical goes wrong we'll lose out on that.

So - Anyone have any comments about those cars?
Also we are thinking about leasing as we are hoping to move out of the country within the next three years. Any tips on leasing?
