What car are you larger families driving??!!

Maz, I only ever half fill mine, but I'm TOTALLY impressed by the fuel economy. I had a VT Commodore before and that chews it compared to the bigger, roomier Kia!

Fuel Economy is pretty good in Carnivals, unless you really fill it will people or luggage, or go up and down hills.

They dont have a lot of power when full, or for going up hills, and in these times it chews the fuel and can drive a bit sluggish. For general driving, its pretty good. A 2003 model shouldn't have all the mechanical problems either!!!:dance:

Congrats on your new car, I hope you love it!!!:dance:

thanks girls for the info
we dont really do alot of travelling...its more for taking the kids to school and appointment (normal stuff) my back and shoulder are killing me from having to take Mateauz out of his capsule in the explorer so im hoping that this will help a bit aswell.

**** - honey your pg....how did this happen :lol:

We have a 2004 Toyota Tarago and i LOVE it :D

Its extremely good on fuel too :D

When I had my Carnival, before it ***** itself, i loved it!!
You wont believe how easy it is to carry a few kids around!! Travelling, their great on fuel, its just when it needs a bit of guts she guzzles!!

Me? Pregnant? I have no idea how that happened!!!:cryinglaugh: Must of sat on a toilet seat or something!!!

Jodie - you were picking your nose again weren't you LMAO

Hi Well A Lot Of Us Cant Afford Much So Im Thnking Of The Ba Wagan With The Seats In The Back . Its Modern Low Kms Reliable And U Can Over Take Any Thng Really Lol. They Are Low But No Different To The Oddesey I Think. And For Us We Would Only Need That One Extra Seat When Hubby Is Travelling With Us . So Most Of The Time We Wouldnt Use Them Can Just Fold Them Down . :)

We have a 04 Toyota V8 Landcruiser(8 seater)...love it although it chews through the juice...although it has a gas conversion on it so it evens it out. We also have an 03 Mitsubishi Magna Wagon which we got 2 seats installed in the very back so it became a 7 seater. I love that one too...although its a bit smaller than the cruiser.
