    We drive a Toyota Kluger, has 3 anchor points, 7 seater, fuel economy approx 11lt/100km. Absolute bliss to drive, the Reserve Parking Camera is fantastic.

    Hey Bon - Kia rightly had a terrible rep because of the motor issues, but it's ok as long as you buy anything over 2004+.

    We're looking into a bigger car... looking at a VW Caravelle (which I'm in love with) and a Honda Odyssey... which DH likes because our neighbour works for Honda & maybe able to get us a cheaper second hand one....

    We can't afford too much, but we are tired of never being able to car pool because we are full up.

    Lulu - I actually don't mind the look of the Kias - they look so roomy inside, but DH will not consider one at all. He has read and heard too many horror stories of the earlier models...but I personally think it is mostly a 'look' thing with him - they look too much like a bus, therefore too daggy for him. He hated the Hyundai we had, he called it the trajedy. Unfortunately he was justified in the end. Sigh.

    It is a bit bussy...but I love it! I got a grey one with tinted windows so I convince myself I am WAY cool.
    I have a 2002, but it had the motor replaced by Kia and it only has 30000 ks on it. I did ALOT of reasearch too, so i I'm really confident with it. It hasn't done a thing wrong and they come with heaps of things standard that you would pay extra for. Probably 'cos they had to try and make up the good faith that was lost!

    and a Honda Odyssey
    ...we bought a honda odyssey 6 months ago and its so luxurious....the dashboard feels like your in a jet engine....(not that ive ever been that close in a jet engine). But unfortuantly we've realised 4 car seats just will not work in this car. The two older ones will have to climb in the back therefore we would loose the middle left seat as they will need to get in and out. So selling it and been looking at a Chrysler Voyager.....Grand Voyager(has bigger boot space apparently). THey look massive, and two middle seats are divided which means DD#1 and DD#2 can simply walk down the aisle.....
