Practically a 98+ accord would be spacious for your family (Rear seats are roomy
) and it's great on gas. If money were tight, a cressida, it's big, it's comfy as hell, and if you look you can find them for a steal, i'd bet you that if you had a gs300 and a cressida parked next to one another you'd find more similarities then you thought. Although, for 7k, i'd go w/ a gs300.
