Car recs
I need a new car... DH has a newer car (2010 Ford Explorer) that is way too expensive for what it is... and gets crappy gas mileage. We are trying to cut back on our expenses before we start trying for #2 and this is one area of the budget that is way too high... especially when you add on a new car for me.
So we both need new cars. We do not need anything fancy but here is what we would want/like...
DH
4x4/AWD, room for 2 carseats (eventually) and a dog in the back... plus some cargo room for when we travel to see my family for the weekend or go on vacation. We would like it to get over 22mpg combined (if we get that we get his gas reimbursed by work) he would also like sirius radio... but if we can't find it I will just get him an external radio again
me
AWD, room for two carseats, best gas mileage I can find (i drive a lot for work) I would like navigation because of driving for work but not a necessity. I have a gps and can get a new one since mine stinks.
Ideally I'd like to get the two cars at the same place to try to gain some bargaining power but that is not a necessity. We are ok with pre-owned but want warranties on them even if we have to pay for it through the dealer.
Any cars you would recommend?

I am quite partial to Hondas lol- they are worth every penny. I have a 94 (yes 1994) Accord with 170k on it that still runs like a dream. Our other car is a 2004 Accord which we bought used at Main Line Honda. We had a great experience there. If you keep up on your maintenance, replace your timing belt at every 90k, you'll have that car forever. The Accord is a bit small for DH but serves us fine right now with just DS.
So I vote for CR-v for you and Pilot for DH. Check out the Odyssey too.
