Re: what kind of car do you drive?

I drive a 2008 Ford Edge. LOVE IT. We happened to be at Ford over the weekend and I am so bummed we won't be trading in our lease for the 2011.

With a 2 year old DS and twins on the way we have been looking at minivans. Top 2 contenders are Toyota Sienna and Chrysler Town and Country.

DH drives a 2003 Hyundai Elantra. He does a lot of driving for work so it is best for him to have a car that is efficient on gas.

Re: what kind of car do you drive?

DH has a base model 2009 civic - it's his work car- takes him back and forth...good mileage & fun to drive

I had a CRV LX but hated it for a family car- wayyy to small...

So I just gave it back for a 2010 Odyssey which I LOVE.. but it is huge.. i'm still trying to figure out parking it.. backing up is a major situation! LOL

Re: what kind of car do you drive?

I'm jealous of all your cars...living in NYC the only mode of transportation I have are my two legs and the occassional train and cab. Chat Icon

BUT...we're moving to Forest Hills in May and when we do we will get a car to share! Yay for weekend trips!!! I think we'll get something small and with low payments...like a Honda Civic or something.

When it comes time for us to purchase a second family car I want the Honda CR-V because I absoluetly love it.

A Honda saved our lives a couple of years ago so we love them.

I think my car is fine. DH hates it. I'd like a 4-door for my next car, maybe an Accord or a 300. DH's truck is pretty sweet.

Do you think your car is too small for two children under five??

The dealer said that the CRV is the same size as the accord. I did not think that was so, but that is what they said.

YES!
It is ridiculously small.
I went from the Accord (before the remodel) to the CrV and the old Accord was BIGGER...

Honestly- I think the Accord might actually BE bigger- and the accord you can get in a 6 cyl- the crv is only a 4 and it rides like a roller skate!

I have two kids- one 4 one 10 months and it was getting to the point where I was putting groceries in the front seat b/c there was no room for them in the back!

I would go for the pilot or the Odyssey.. I turned in my lease 2 years early (they bought it out to sell used) and go the Odyssey and am sooo happy w/ it.
