What kind of car do you think makes the best family car and why?
I love the SUV's - lots of room and sporty looking! However gas has been horrible. I know the Mini-vans are also great but some of us Moms just haven't been able to pull the trigger on those. :> With gas prices how they are we might have to!
How about a station wagon? I have one and it is very economical!
I have been looking at station wagons! Which one do you have?
The minivans are the best! I have the Toyota Celica, but I know some like the Honda Odyssey. I know it was hard to trade in my beemer for one of these, but it was worth it b/c it is super convenient! Everything is family-oriented with kids in mind at the touch of a button: trunks can open automatically (esp. with those groceries), doors slide open so kids can get in & out easily, rearview mirrors to see the kids, and so much more!
Well I have a Chrysler Town & Country Minivan. I have really enjoyed it, but we are getting ready to trade it in for something else, another minivan? I don't know. I was just wondering if there might be something better, but it sounds like I should stick with a minivan. I think I'll look into the Honda's. I really like the new technology out now, with the GPS systems with the BlueTooth built in. I've got to get one of those.
I have 2 toddlers and a Toyota Sienna. It's a bit overkill and the gas mileage sucks, but it's fun to be in. We're going to trade it in for a Prius -- we can actually get both car seats and a good deal of luggage in the back. Then,$4/gallon won't be as much of a burden...
I agree about the gas mileage. I'm waiting for the hybrid minivan.
i*heart* my honda minivan... we have the touring model and my dd loves it. gas miles sucks tho...
