Yeah...they're the new ones....one day i hope that will be us .....
They odysseys are more up around the $25k range...we paid $27k for our one. MOre of a luxurious car.....
Like i said before...i dont think you will ever have enough room in the boot of a car....there's never going to be spare room..i dunno, thats my opinion. For us it was bums on seats - we needed enough room for 4 kids in car seats, not being crammed in. I also didnt understand the point in having a Odyssey, or Territory etc with 7 seats, when essentially you couldnt use the middle end seat, coz you would always need that vacant for passengers to get in and out of the very very back...KWIM ??? To me, that was a waste of a seat - esp when the kids are young and your dealing with car seats...
We also found....with the Odyssey...we bought that car outright...so it wasnt a loan or anything. We saved up for that money. So splashing it out on a car was fantastic...but after a while, we noticed the interior was getting 'trashed'. Kids with dirty feet, dirty hands etc etc. No matter how much you say your going to look after it, kids will be kids. ANyway, my point is, we felt like at this time in our lives, spending $27k on a car wasnt justified...we were dealing with 4 kids under 5, of course they were going to trash it. Thats another reason why we downgraded...sounds weird, but spending $20k on a car, we ddint feel so precious about it every time the kids left a mark....i dunno if im making sense...BTW, dont get a car with light/beige interior......you will tear your hair out if your a mess freak like me.....
ETA: I have a friend, 3 kids under 4, and has a new Ford Explorer....very noice......
