Matt, you both will regret getting a car. We outgrew my wifes old sentra with one kiddo. Do not get a car!
I've grown tired of this.

We bought a minivan (gasp!) and have liked it more that we ever thought we would. Tons of room... Sliding doors make it easy for kids to climb in and to buckle them...

I enjoy driving my parents Lincoln LS alot. I think we are done with kids so a larger car sounds great. Aleigha is getting big enough that she can get in and out on here own. Gavin will be there soon.

We both love the Commander but it has one major flaw from the factory that no one can pin point and its getting worse. Cuts off randomly all the time lately. It has plenty of power and room and rides so smooth. 15mpg & seats 7. I dont want to end up in another vehicle that is plagued with a problem like that.

I hear you on driving, we will be trying alot of stuff.

Never will I be driving a minivan  //LMAO// I will buy an excursion before I ever do that.

Anybody seen any JKUs under 20k that are 4x4?

If SUV's are an option, we love our new pilot. With #4 on the way, we didn't have  as many options. We really wanted something that fit us all + luggage. The ride is extremely comfortable and it has all the bells and whistles. Our favorite might be that we can run the rear dvd player with wireless headphones and listen to whatever we want up front. I didnt suggest it earlier bc I thought you were set on a sedan.

Cant beat a van for mileage and storage capacity

I love my moms Flex for ride and comfort and seating and storage.

Lots of good suv choices.  Find one with the rear seat that goes flat like the Flex.  Then u always have the capability with you and not in the garage taking up space.

And center row seats that recline even if a bench.  Kids sleep a lof better reclined.

I want suburban size and 25 mpg +.  If u find it let me know.

A jku sets up your hard core wheeling rig for 2020 lol.

Yes they are findable under 20k for sure.  I paid just a little over that for our 09 jku rubi with 66k but I looked 9 months.

The sad part is your almost described our Commander.  //LMAO//

I really wish this thing could be fixed and I would keep it. I will check out the Pilot for sure. Anything is up for grabs right now. I am trying to talk her  into a crew cab truck. //letseat//


I still have the TJ so not looking for another hard core rig.

On a side note. I have someone wanting to trade an LS1 swapped IS300 for the jeep. Not sure how I feel about that.
