family vehicle recommendations?

[SpecM]

but my wife really likes the Acadia and Enclave.

NO! any new GM = bad

really, just get a Honda Odyssey. maintenance = oil changes and timing belt/spark plugs every 90k. easy.

I would recomend frequent trans fluid changes tho. I do a drain/refill every oil service (only 3 qrts)

MB R350. What you give up in storage over an SUV is more than made up by passenger accommodations, comfort, economy, driving dynamics, etc.

Powerstroke Excursion.



Do it.

I'd look at Toyota Highlanders too. They are great cars. Very comfy and alot of room.

Uh one is a van and one is a suv

I think he means they are the same platform.

ford flex is a wonderful. my family has a 2010 and have put 75000 miles on it already with no issues.

Honda odyssey or Honda pilot, exactly the same car.

Maintenance is cheap although the v6 in them likes to eat oil up. Needs changes every 3-5k.

LOL at all of you!!!
e30 is not going anywhere, and neither is the wagon. Expedition will be sold off cheap or donated. You'll think I'm crazy, but we have our kids by choice. only the oldest was an accident (LOL), the other 4 we adopted out of the foster care system (2 separate adoptions, 2 separate families, etc...). Trust me, I'd love to give a couple back sometimes.

Hahahahahahaha best thing I've read all day.

we have considered getting rid of the wagon and getting a disco 2, but I wouldn't have one as a first vehicle. Other than the disco, does rover make a 7 passenger model?

I think the range rover that my mom had, came with a 3rd row but I'm not sure

Suburban not sure what year you drove we have an 05

it's either that or a minivan everything else is too cramped for 7 and have no cargo room after seating 7 that why we didn't get a Tahoe or yukon

[smitche]

Range rover, plenty of room and it looks cool and is capable to boot

btw... expedition was an 01. bought it used a few years ago and put about 50k on it. Did cop's and plugs twice, and it was starting to feel like they needed to be done again. You could do 3 or 4 m20 timing belts with time to spare in the time it takes to do the plugs and coils on that stupid POS.
