So my wife and I are expecting our first. Our current vehicle line up is my 2017 focus RS and the 2002 Focus SVT. As of right now due to our age we plan on just having one child, but for the heck of it I say go under the assumption we may have a second.

We’d both like to avoid mini vans as much as possible. We enjoy driving and lead a pretty active lifestyle (camping, hiking, snow sports, kayak etc) and I think a truck or SUV would be a better way to go.

I will need your hugs opinions as well. I am a car guy and can’t separate myself from wanting a cool unique vehicle with character vs a great family hauler that is bland as dish water

I like the idea of the awd Ford Flex, possibly a 4Runner. The wife rented a ‘19 Santa Fe and liked it a lot. And I’d love to go check out one of those new telluride.

Anyways. I’d love thoughts, opinions, wake up calls etc and general direction pointing

Congrats, my guy!

A Subaru Outback XT turbo would be a good fit for an outdoorsy enthusiast. The Ascent has the same motor but is pretty big IMO.



The Golf Alltrack is basically a lifted sportwagen 4motion; both available with a 6MT. There is plenty of aftermarket for more power.

Driven a V60 and V90. V60 is drop dead gorgeous, V90 is peak dentist-mobile. Had a hard time driving a V90 because of the high belt line and long hood.
