Thanks. You'd recommend it?
No issues?
Controls intuitive?
What's the disc player like? Multi?

I dont have one yet, but I am 99% likely to buy one soon based on my research. Test drive went great. I didnt really consider the electronics, as Im mainly interested in reliability and value. I havent used a disc player in 10 years, but it has bluetooth so you can hook up to your phone. Also has a radio. ;)

Hello! My sister have 3 kids and she owns a bakeshop. She is asking my suggestion on what vehicle she will get that she can use for family and also for her business. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Look into the Kias. We just bought a lightly used Sportage and it's been a great small SUV. The Sorrento or their mini-van might be a better fit for your sister. Kias have one the best initial quality ratings and their SUVs rate in the top 10 consistently.
 
I have 4 kids and I would not drive anything for my family vehicle that is not a minivan. I know some people are adamantly opposed to getting a van, just because of the idea of having a van, but they are hands down the best family platform out there.

Minivans tend to come with a lot more amenities in their basic models than many other vehicles. You get the benefit of having automatic doors, if you choose that option, which really comes in handy with your arms are full. The sliding doors are great for things like not wanting your younguns to pop the door open to slam into a car parked next to you.

Seats fold down or remove to make for large interior space.

I won't speak about one brand or another but, in general, minivans are superior for so many reasons.

The new Sedona looks very good, it was something I was considering before getting a truck

A Mercedes Van. Excellent utility vehicle.

Thanks for the suggestion, but not a big fan. I remember renting one and found it too long and too hard to park. I am a fan of dodge grand caravan myself - but with the weather in CA, it may not work for my sis. The one I have does not have airconditioning at the back and can get really uncomfortable for those sitting at the back.
 
Thanks for the tips guys. She doesn't have enough savings though. Would it be better to get a loan in a bank or a credit union? We're thinking credit unions like this have better auto loan rates. What do you guys think?
