We have a Kia Rondo, and I love it. Somewhere between a car and an SUV. Lots of cargo space. Two stowed seats in the back to allow for seven seats when needed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992311957244309653.post-38624227831966681212009-05-28T23:45:51.036-07:002009-05-28T23:45:51.036-07:00I have always said "I am Mom, must drive minivan.....I have always said "I am Mom, must drive minivan....NOT" I will never find myself buying a minivan, it was har enough giving up the convertible for the SUV but you do what you gotta do right, just not with a minivan.<br />I am currently driving a Ford Escape, it's our second one and I love it. I would like to have purchased the Escape hybrid but it was just a bit pricey for us at the time, however with the gas it should save it may have been a better solution.<br /><br />I love your blog, you are a great writer!<br />CheersKriskropMemorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14016563556917073427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992311957244309653.post-60729626212630273602009-05-24T14:03:38.786-07:002009-05-24T14:03:38.786-07:00LOL, I am a small car driver still.LOL, I am a small car driver still.Melanie @ Whimsical Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00109731889293246835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992311957244309653.post-5698391939969723462009-05-24T09:56:28.217-07:002009-05-24T09:56:28.217-07:00Technically I don't think mine is a minivan. I dr...Technically I don't think mine is a minivan. I drive a Mazda 5, which is classified as a "wagon". I flat out refuse to drive a station wagon, but this looks nothing like one. It's built on the frame of a Mazda 6 4 door sedan but has more headroom and two sliding rear doors. There is a 3rd row of seating that you can lay down to allow for more trunk space. If you see it next to a SUV or minivan it is way smaller than either and not so "vanny" looking. My sister has a Honda CRV that is pretty nice too. She had a Subaru Forester, but to me, it was a little too boxy and wagonny looking for me.<br /><br />To be honest, I don't really care anymore about what I drive as long as it doesn't look like a hunk of junk (I've driven a few of those) or like something the Griswolds would drive. I just need whatever I drive to be easy to handle and not too big. SUV's and I (or trucks) don't have very good track records!Alyssa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11674708702014878064noreply@blogger.com
