Hi I know it has been awhile since anyone has posted here. Anyway here's my 2 cents
Our first family car was my little 15y/o Yellow Mitsubishi Colt we upgraded to a ten year old Ford Falcn ST Wag when #2 came along, in 2000 it was falling apart so we actually got lucky and bought a Holden Comm ST Wag 2000 model, extra cheap cause it was an official Olympic vehicle and only had 3000km on it. Which we still have as hubby needs to drive something to work everyday. Last year in November When our 4th DD was born (and after months of research and test driving) we bought a Chrysler Grand Voyager 2004, it is the most excellent car ever, we love it. We do alot of travelling but were not off road type people so it made perfect sense to us to buy something that is comfortable, safe and stylish. But we would throw it away in an instance if SUV's became readily available here in AUS. Lol.
