Solid adviceFirst look at your finances! House payment, taxes, insurance, medical costs, etc. can bite into your dream car needs. Some of the vehicles mentioned above are big dollar items. I hope you have well over 6 figures rolling in the house to support these dreams. I was young once. Sometimes experience is an ugly teacher. Look at your budget! Most cars are money pits!!!
Since we are keeping my wife’s Mustang, I thought having one four-door would be a practical move. Truthfully, the focus RS has been in the back of my mind for a long time. I’d LOVE to have an M3 comp but that is outside of my desired budget.First off. Congrats. First kid is always a life changer. However, I will say take some time to think about it because one kid can be managed with a mustang. I was in the exact same position as you in 2018 (kid #2 for me). Got rid of my 14 GT for an 18 F150 SCREW. Never looked back tbh. The flexibility a crew cab gives you plus the safety cant be matched. That said, I understand truck prices are insane and may not be viable. For my wife we've had a corolla, CX-5, Accord, Tiguan, and now a Tesla Model 3. Best car we've had for her was probably the M3 or Accord. Camt go wrong with most just be safety minded.
