since we are talking (somewhat) about cars, i ask st

Posted by tRuMaN (insane, possibly) (aka Truman) May 14 '12, 13:37

ok, i have a 2003 vw jetti (tdi).

i like it, but its hard to use for house stuff, since nothing really fits in my car (lumber, etc).

i have wondered/contemplated trading it in and getting something like a kia soul (or smallish crossover like thing).

what other options are there for cars around that price range (lets say $19k) that have space in them

Responses:

I absolutely adore my Escape. Truecar has those at $19,500. We just bought a CR-V. The base for the 2012 is $23,100. -- nm - David May 14, 13:47 1
- You should also check Carmax. You can check by crossover there. -- nm - David May 14, 13:48
have you thought of just getting a trailer hitch and a small utility trailer? or just one for day or two? - zeitgeist May 14, 13:42 1
- technically, you are not supposed to haul anything with the tdi (diesel) in this car - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 14, 13:46
I drove that Kia Soul; thing is tinier than it friggin looks. Shorter front to back then our Suzuki compact sedan is. -- nm - TFox May 14, 13:40 4
- yeah, i havent looked at anything, so i dont know anything about the size of any cars - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 14, 13:42 2
  - the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage aren't far off that price point either, new. - TFox May 14, 13:43 1
    - i am not opposed to used. - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 14, 13:46
- and i hate rehyping the one we got to validate my own purchase, but I do love the Mazda CX-5, which is around $21k with the manual transmission. -- nm - TFox May 14, 13:42
