Isn't it funny how we all like different things?? i have had my kia carnival for nearly 3 years and am so in love with it... I have 4 boys from 12 to3 and have fitted everything i have ever needed..the boot is small but have fitted a double pram in it, and then also my single easily..all seats are used everyday,shopping is done during school hours and it all fits in boot,or if not use the floor space!! We have had it to queensland and back quite a few times,and the last time we bought a pod for the roof and i just love it!! two sliding doors,kids walk to the back..lmao..see the difference of opinion..lol but i think whatever makes you and your family happy..go for it!! see my kids are getting to old for a wagon with d***ie seats, and i always had a phobia of a rear end collision and the kids being squashed...pmsl(not at the kids,at my stupid mind!!)
