Not sure this thread or stupid questions. I might need a commuter car to cover a bit of daily highway action. What's the brains trust say makes for a good commuter? It will needs to carry kids and bikes randomly, be comfy, safe and occasionally quick. Any suggestions on a 15-25k budget? Don't laugh, current contenders are a recent gti with all the safety pack gear around low 20s, and a VF calais v wagons for high 20s, v8 of course. Never wanted one, but does tick most of the boxes and might do better in a highway prang.
