Mini Van or SUV, oh the debate.
We have been thinking about getting a second larger vehicle since we found out Asher was on the way. Now that Asher is here and our car hates the snow and seems to get smaller and smaller and smaller with the boys getting bigger we are really feeling the crunch.
Its looking like we will be able to get something in another month or so. Praise the Lord!
So now we have to decide what to get. The top of my list would be a Honda Pilot, but since 40k doesn't seem to be in the budget that car is out of the running. We are looking at an older mini van or SUV with a third row seat. Besides the cool factor of an SUV(I'm not feeling to worried about being cool these days, I suppose that's what having a couple kids does to you) we like that fact that it would be great in snow and would be able to tow something, also the kind we are looking at the 3 row folds down when we need to put more back in the trunk. But it does look like it will be a bit harder with hauling little ones in and out, and they take a little bit more gas.
A van would be much easier access to the kids and the third row seat when we have others ride with us. But we are not sure how great they are in the snow. Although there seems to be a lot of vans up here, so it can't be to bad. But the church is on top of a hill and Daniel would like to still get into work when it snows.
Or we could just go with a 15 passenger van, get the towing power, 4 wheel drive, and space for the 12 boys we are going to have.... Just kidding!
Anyway, if you have any suggestions or comments let me know!
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteOf course, my vote is for the SUV rather than a minivan. If you want to pull something later (like a boat) the SUV will have more power. I was grateful to have our Durango on the trip home and also, the past couple of days. We have had lots of snow! Anyways, good luck with your hunt for just the right car.
