    We have the holden Jackaroo. All 5 rear seats come with floor bolts, and the 3 along the middle also have restraint holders in the seat. We also just found out that upgrading it to an 8 seater is not actually that much fuss or cost at all, so we are holding onto our big little holden.

    Fuel economy is decent too. Not 4cyl style, but it got us to qld on $150 so thats fairly decent considering the price of fuel. 10l/100km Highway, 14l/100km city.

    Its one and only downfall is that with all seats filled, so is the car. No room for anything else.

    I have Kia and I love it.
    I fit a twin side by side pram i the boot and still have some room for school bags and grociers.
    Its a 7 seater so I leave the seat out on the passanger side middle so I can access the back row bar when we all go away.
    I have made curtains to close out the light on my babies, have a portable dvd player with 2 screens in it and a basket in the front for all off my crap (eg knitting and books)
    It costs $70 to fill atm and I get 600km on the distance out of it
    OH and lastly its a 2004-2005 model

    I have to say it though...I dont think it matters what type of car you buy, if your car is going to break down its gonna break down.
