My wife and I prefer to haul our son around in her Kia Spectra Vs my Mirage...15 years of engineering makes a huge difference in safety. However the kia once you throw a baby seat in back just does not feel that big. I have to move the seat forward to an uncomfortable position to keep the baby seat from geting pushed back to the wrong angle.
We would like to get something bigger once we pay off the spectra. However theres always that trade off in economy once you go up to a bigger vehicle. Yet my wifes car only averages out to 25 mpg...so we in all honesty could probably go up to a new tarus and not see that much of a difference in our over all fuel expenses.
While I'm on that those of you who may need a new car soon start looking now. We had to make a rush decision on buying a car and we really wish we had not bought this kia. Its been a great car but the fuel economy is not what we had hopped for.
