Just don’t stick to Toyota and Honda always

check Chevy equinox too .. extended warranty which costs like 3000 or so ki .. so called issues with Chevy or Ford can also be covered .. with 2-kids main criteria is safety (as ur wife will also drive it) and plenty of leg room in 2nd room 

Nuvu emi car driving anna

Nee list lo aithe RX350h undoubtedly. If used car is OK for you, check those too. Lexus cars drive very well up to 200K.

Thank you! Prastutam only hybrid e chustunna

Don’t go for Kia and Hyundai.. especially with these high interest rates.. 

lease is another option depending on where you live.. monthly 200-400 ki vastayi nice cars.. 

any reason not to opt for Kia/Hyundai? 10-year warranty undi kada, I know there could be more issues than say Toyota/Honda

parents/in-laws vasthe 5 seater ekkada saripothundi when you all are 6 ppl...anyway very very rare kada so minivan no need.....but 2 kids unna family ki assalu SUV is not appropriate ani naa feeling. Trunk size ekkuva undadhu and not soo roomy.

Why dont u think of 7 seater....3rd row fold chesthe ample trunk space, u need it for your family + overall ga if u guys go for long drives, super comfy. I know upgrading from sedan to SUV might feel comfy initially but within a yr u will repent.

Rent a 7 seater for a weekend in coming days (any cheapest one of any brand is ok).....go for few hrs drive with your family. Carry both strollers and few bags and then imagine can u fit all these in a medium sized SUV. After that small trip, you decide if for the next few yrs do you want to drive and enjoy it same time or compromise on many things.

I dont know abt ur financial status, like is ur wife also working....if yes, then dont even think of SUV for now.

Kids college ki vellaka next part of our life till death motham SUV ne enough or may be Sedan.

Now is the time where u want more trunk space, more roomy inside and accommodate more ppl if they join (from India or local frnds/family)
