Ok me and dh are going back for forth on this one... we took my grandparents van last year b/c we were worried about space issues and what not in my dodge intrepid and having to do 3 car seats across, and we were driving all night straight threw and 16 hours ect.... so now we have bough a new car it's a landrover discovery (GAS HOG) but it's got 3 rows of seats and roof storage, ect. we can't decide if we shoudl take the intrepid and get 27 miles to a gallon and make the kids sit 3 arcross, no cup holders in the back, no room for stuff excpet on the floor boards, but we feel confident with out the HUGE double stroller, and stuff we can fit all the lugage and food int he big intrepid trunk... but i don't know
the land rover has 2 jump seats in the back and a bench in the middle, usally we have the girls in the middle row outboard and then ds in the back jump seat, then they all have cup holders, room for their stuff next to them on the seats, not side by side by side, but the gas milage on the things (hold you breath please..... ) 16 highway miles to a gallon and about 10 town miles to a gallon...
so to drive the land rover it would be about 150 more to drive it... Help me weight the pros and cons please!!!
On we have a dvd player built in the roof of the landrover but it's broke right now and being looked up in 2 weeks, we have our lap top they could use to watch in the intrepid or maybe by a portable...
