brian, i didn't narrow it down to those two only, just in my searching yesterday found two cars I liked and couldn't decide which would be better.
as for my civic, i've had it for 6 months, LOL, and its getting a little cramped, especially now since we don't have a minivan anymore, just two compact cars to haul the kids around and we can't take their bikes/toys really.
I'll have to check out the trunk space on the regal, and the ride on the cherokee, but we'll see.
But yeah, my civic is worth $4k so that's all i want to spend since I don't want a loan, any other ideas?
