  • Vehicle suggestions.....

    We may have to replace our 97 Astro in the very near future for various reasons. We still have 4 children at home so we'd be looking for a 6 or 7 passenger vehicle hopefully with better gas mileage than the van.

    A couple of cars we're looking at are the Kia Ronda, Mazda 5 and the Dodge Journey. Your comments and/or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I suppose we could just buy two more Festivas

    Thanks

      The Dodge Journey is a nice ride. A co worker of mine has 1 and is very pleased with the gas mileage.

                        The mazda 5 is good. But the rear row is usless for all but the smallest children.
