Our Favorite Vehicles for Empty-Nesters

Now that your children are grown, licensed and moved out, the need for a large van that can fit your entire crew at once has likely faded. It may be time to downsize, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for a car without comfort or all of the convenient features that larger vehicles possess.
