Re: What kind of vehicle do you drive?
GMC Acadia - LOVE it!
Pros: Bluetooth, captains seating so there's PLENTY of room, huge trunk (when 3rd row seating is down and still better than I saw with most SUVs when the 3rd row is up), remote start, remote trunk release, very comfy...
Cons: Haven't found one yet.

I have the 2011 Acadia and I do really love it for all the same reasons!
Cons for me would be the gas, it can be a beast on gas!

Re: What kind of vehicle do you drive?
For the past 3 years I drove a VW Tiguan. It was awesome, but lacking in room. My City Mini took up pretty much the entire trunk. 
We upgraded to the Volvo XC 90 2 weeks ago and it's fantastic! We just have one DS right now but are planning on having one more child in the future. This car will be able to grow along with us.

2011 and 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee. We love them and buy jeeps over and over. Although I will say they are not as big as i wold like. Terrible on gas.

Re: What kind of vehicle do you drive?
We have a 2003 Accord and a 2009 Subaru Forester.
The lease on our Forester is up in a couple of months so we've been looking at new cars. I would like to get something bigger because if we expand our family, we will be doing so before we're done with the car so I'm thinking of the Honda Pilot.

Re: What kind of vehicle do you drive?
I have a 2006 Mercury Mariner and I LOVE it! Roomy, good on gas, 4wd. The con is it will be very snug with 2 kids and a double stroller. I mean it'll work, but as a SAHM who runs all the errands I can't imagine taking both kids grocery shopping and not making them hold the groceries
My husband just got a 2005 Crown Victoria. My brother is a cop and they had a local auction so we got it for a freaking STEAL! I seriously LOVE LOVE LOVE this car. The trunk in huge, it rides GREAT and we can easily have both kids inside and have room to spare. It's not my kind of car, but we needed something and it was an awesome price so I HIGHLY recommend it!

Re: What kind of vehicle do you drive?
Swore I would never get a minivan. Bought the honda odyssey back in April and I love it. It drives so nice, has all the bells and whistles, and is huge. I am a convert. With two kids, it's perfect for us.
We also have a Hyundai tuscon which I love. It's a 2007 though, back when the tuscon was a smaller version of the santa fe (which we sold to inlaws when we bought the minivan).

Re: What kind of vehicle do you drive?
Honda crv (2010)
I love it because the steering reminds me of a civic. Nice small steering wheel, great handling, 4WD, lots of space, trunk holds tons.
cons: I wish there were more interior compartments- like one in between the two front seats- i miss that! All of my previous cars had it. When this lease is up I'll stick with the crv but get a higher model.

Re: What kind of vehicle do you drive?
You're all making me very jealous!
We are trying to save $ so I'm driving my little 2002 honda civic 'til it can't go anymore. At least that was the plan but the sound of an SUV is really nice

Re: What kind of vehicle do you drive?
i have a Ford Mustang GT and DH has a Honda CRV
obviously the mustang isnt ideal but i dont have payments on it so for now we are keeping it. its not too roomy and i have to put the stroller in teh backseat because its too big for the trunk however i find it easier to put DS's carseat in my car than the CRV and even in my moms accord. its easier to lift in and out since its behind the passenger seat as oopose to stretching across the middle.
the CRV is good, it drives nice, its not too big but i am disappointed with the trunk space. the stroller just fits and you cant fit much else unless you put the seats down.
however the car seat goes in good and we also have a booster in there. DH has 2 other kids and all 3 of them fit back there pretty comfortably

I also have a 2011 Acadia & LOVE it for all of the reasons mentioned above...I comfortably fit 5 adults, 1 kid (6 y/o) and my ds in his car seat for a ride once & I couldn't believe it. My parents were in the 3rd row & said they were very comfortable!

That's what I had! I wound up selling it and using the $ towards my downpayment on a Hyundai Santa Fe.
LOVE the car. Tons of room, easy to drive, decent gas mileage, and well-rated for safety.

Re: What kind of vehicle do you drive?
We have a CR-V and while I loved it with 1 child, I don't love it as much with 2 children in carseats. It definitely serves the purpose, but I think we are going to look for an SUV with a third row sometime next year.

Re: What kind of vehicle do you drive?
We have the Kia Sorento 2011 and we love it. It has an optional 3rd row seat. We only have 1 carseat now so we did opted for the larger trunk instead of the 3rd row seat. My fave feature is the bluetooth. It comes standard in all their models. My DS's fave feature is also bluetooth so I can stream the Yo Gabba Gabba Pandora station through the car stereo.

We have a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Good space but it is horrible on gas 
we just got rid of ours...I thought it was terrible in space. I had to take the wheel off my double stroller to get it in.
2 marathons fit fine, but there was no one else fitting back there.

We had an 09 forester as well..loved it, perfect for 1 kid. Even for 2 kids it is fine, IF you do not plan on driving anyone else. But we drive our parents to dr's appts and things like that, so we needed more room.
Upgraded to the 2011 Honda Pilot..love love love it. So spacious and a very smooth ride.
I honestly miss my forester at times, I really loved it and recommend it if you are looking for a crossover. But I am also very happy with the Pilot and highly recommend that also.

Re: What kind of vehicle do you drive?
Huydai Santa Fe.
I LOVE it!
The gas can get you, but, I do A LOT of around the town driving!
It's roomy too.
I'd LOVE to get the Honda Odyssey (for a bit more room), but, it's not happening anytime soon.

Re: What kind of vehicle do you drive?
Acadia denali and i love it, tons of space for a full sized stroller and if you put the 3rd row seats down you can fit so much more! Rommy and safe, but it does eat gas!

Outback . .LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish the trunk was slightly bigger but I don't think I'll ever find a trunk I love
We also have an Outback and so far (we've had it since the spring time) we love it. Our DD is only 3 weeks old, but we find it roomy!

Re: What kind of vehicle do you drive?
We have a 2011 Ford Escape and 2011 Nissan Sentra.
Love the 2011 Ford Escape. lots's of room. Eventually we would like to move on to a 7 passenger seater though but not in the near future.
THe 2011 Sentra is not the Escape but it's not bad. This is DH's car since it's more of an econo car and he drives about 500 miles a week.

Re: What kind of vehicle do you drive?
Infiniti G37 and Nissan Maxima - don't recommend with kids.
I used to describe both of them as old lady sedans pre-baby but now that I have baby, space is lacking. Fitting DS' infant seat in them is a total racket. I have to climb in and put the seat in. PITA. The trunk space is decent though.
I love both of the cars though. They drive nice and have lots of pep. However, the Infiniti is a total pig on gas.
