Buying a New Car

I LOVE my minivan (never really thought I'd say that : ). Honda Odessey. It's pretty good on gas (22-24 mpg) compared to an SUV or cross over. The doors are great for kids and me. The storage is awesome as well. The price is also lower than most crossovers. It is COMFY to drive and to ride in. Good luck looking : )

We just got a Toyota Sienna (7 seater: captain seats in the 2nd row). We absolutely love it. The driving experience is very nice (kind of like driving a sedan) and gas milesage is not bad compared to SUV or the bigger cars. The truck space is HUGE!

I was against minivans for a long time but now we are very happy with our decision because we need that type of space for seating and transportation. Otherwise, when my in-laws came to visit, we always had to take 2 separate cars and that was not convenient.

I love my GMC Acadia. It is very similar to the Chevy Traverse and Buick Enclave.

I have a Subaru Tribeca.
We also live where nothing is close by (out in the country) and while the gas mileage is not as great as a smaller car (obviously), it is not too bad. I usually have to gas up once a week on a regular week and that is with going "into town" at least twice a day.
The storage capabilities in it work for us. We are actually on a road trip right now and had enough room to pack for all of us (including a pack and play for our infant) and room for the dog.

We have a mini-van and a trailblazer with a 3rd row. It's fun to drive the trailblazer, but the 3rd row is a pain to get in an out of. We really want it for trips when we need to tow. The minivan, for me, is just easier for more than 4 passengers. Also, minivan's tend to get better gas mileage.

I have a minivan, it serves it's purpose, but I don't like it. Just a personal preference. I had an Envoy before I got the minivan, and I wish I would have just got the Envoy XL. I LOVED my Envoy!!!!!!

I have a mazda 6 sedan car. I am looking to buy a new mazda C-X 7 suv for more room with two kids and storage space. It seats 7 people. I like it. I hope I can get it when the summer hits. Hope you get a good car.

Well you sure don;'t want a Behemoth like mine. Although I loooove it!!!
It's a Fullsize conversion van. My friends call it Darth Vader and it eats gas like a kid eats candy.
I have a good friend with the Buick thing, Enclave maybe. She loves it. I've been in it once, it's very roomie.
