paktinat Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 my work buddy emailed me a question, just wondering what everyone thought. My first thought was a Ford Flex. If you had to get a vehicle with 3 rows of seating, nothing is off the table, what would you get? I would prefer to stay away from full size SUV’s since I already have a full size pickup. I know the minivan is looming on this but I wanted maybe to present something else to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 If I had to get something it would be a yukon denali, if I was going smaller it would be an acadia. No doubt. Minivans, would be the odyssey I already have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I have a Pacifica. I love the way it drives/rides/is comfortable. It is a maintenance nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleguy Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 If I had a family and the budget I would get a Volvo XC90 either V8 or 2.5 turbo. Very safe, double reinforced roof, and very very easy to use in everyday situations with kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Mazda5 is a great, efficient package. Better get one before they get reeeeeeeally ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 minivan is the best bang for the dollar. we've had three since the kids came into the picture and they are great. wife doesn't love it, but honestly, it has as many if not more luxury items than an SUV or car and rides like a dream. but of course, it's still a minivan.

TTQ B4U Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Mazda5 is a great, efficient package. Better get one before they get reeeeeeeally ugly. but they are really small and waaaay under powered. they need to make a speed5 and then it would be bearable.

paktinat Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 he actually just emailed me back and said he has a xc90 (wife's) but it doesn't have the 3rd row option installed. he doesn't want to sell it and just buy the same car again.... thanks for the tips, I'll email him the list next week, keep 'em coming.
