Unfortunately last week two of the kids and I were involved in an accident. We all walked away relatively unscathed even though it was a pretty serious crash but our poor Tarago is a write off. Im so angry a) because the other driver was at fault due to blatant stupidity but tried to place blame on me, if he wasnt driving stupidly we wouldnt be in this position and b) Dh and I always end up fighting like crazy until we pick a car so I hate hate hate car shopping.

We have slim pickings for used cars up here in Townsville and we have a budget/cannot and will not buy brand new.

So if you have a 7-8 seater:

  • What year and model is it and do you like it?
  • Does it fit 3 or more carseats? Anchor points in third row?
  • Could it fit 6 adults comfortably, esp on long drives?
  • We move around every 3 years or so, sometimes across several states so is it suitable for long haul driving? Is it roomy? Does it fit all the bits and peices that go with travelling?


Thanks!
