So, I'm my partner and I need a new car, will the 4chan oracle guide me?
We have a <1 yr old and her mazda 3 aint cutting it in terms of space. My liberty GT aint cutting it in terms of practicality (coilovers, FMIC, big stereo in the boot).
probably gonna have to let go of my liberty... keep the maz 3 and buy a family hauler.
I'm in Australia, budget is 50k, we plan on 2 more kids in the next 3 yrs.
considering the following:
Maz CX5 diesel (akera spec)
Subaru outback 3.6R
Which would /o/ buy and why? Any alternatives?
safety is my toppest of top priorites, also want reliability and practicalilty. But I'd also like something 'fun'. Considered an Octavia RS wagon but Skoda and VAG are a bunch of cunts (mums mk 7 golf R has been in the dealership for haldex replacement, and constant coolant issues where the level drops, they top it up and say no fault found - has 20k klms on it)
help me /o/

How does this impact practicality??
Have you looked at a VF Commodore Wagon? Good size without resorting to an SUV.
Octavia RS would be my choice though.

Get rid of the coilovers and stereo and keep the Liberty. Trust me
I have a Mazda 6 MPS and have a three year old, and another one on the way. Missus has granny spec 6 and the only times we've wished for more space you'd require a ute

Sorry didn't need to post yet
Best CX5 pick is the post-facelift KE with the 2.5L. 1st Gen diesel has serious issues, question is not if but when you'll be replacing the engine. Dunno about latest Gen.
Outback is just a Liberty on stilts, so that's a stupid choice considering you already have one

Mate, just get an SS Commodore for fucks sake.
The Series 2 VF has:
>5 star ANCAP rating for the kids and wifey
>Shit loads of room, it's a full sized sedan
>Wagon if you need more room
>Fuck loads of power and torque
Why would you bother with anything else?

A cx5 or any other small crossover is not going to be an improvement in space. Get a honda Odyssey or Toyota sienna or something like that. The outback has shitty cvt
Really though you should kill yourself for having kids.

It's closer to the 6 in size than the 3. If he was upgrading the 3 it'd make some sense at least
