My wife is in the market for a new car since her Scion TC won't exactly cut it for eventual family hauling duties and her car is showing its age. She's had her eye on a Subaru Crosstrek for a while due to AWD, 4 doors and the wagon type space in the back and I'm not gonna lie, I like her choice but it doesn't exactly scream fun car.
Which brings me to the question.
What would be a good FUN family friendly car that can be driven every day regardless of weather?
THE RULES.
Must be FUN.
Must be $32K or under.
Must be new or a '16 with minimal miles.
Must be 4 doors
Must be daily driven, meaning also good in winter, does not have to be AWD/4WD.
Must be a safe car.
Does not have to be the most fuel efficient car in the world but no shitty mpg's.
Must be able to fit 2 adult human beings, a dog occasionally and eventually a miniature human (the more storage space the better).
She will not drive a minivan. She said that's grounds for divorce.
My brain keeps going back to the GTI or even a Jetta GLI but I'm curious what everyone else thinks.
