    Need to upgrade - advice?

    I know there are several threads like this but I think each person's situation is different and I can't really follow advice given to others. Since having our first baby we've discovered our car is inadequate and need to upgrade. DH's brother is willing to buy our car but wants it within a month, so we need to get moving.

    Our requirements are:

    - $10K - $15K (obviously won't be a new car)
    - Sedan preferred, wagon possibly (but not Ford cause we've heard their wagons suck), definitely not hatch, 4WD or SUV
    - as economical as possible (easier said than done)
    - can accommodate 2 car seats
    - enough boot room for double pram (1 child in front, 1 in back)
    - realistic for camping holidays
    - manual transmission preffered

    Does such a beast exist? Lol

    We have a Toyota Camry, paid just over 20K with not many km on it so an older one (but still not very old ie current shape) should be in your price range.

    It should meet most (if not all) your criteria, not sure about camping...

    Mazda 6's are good.
