Hi all! We're about to buy a used vehicle for our family, and I was wondering if you could help me weigh the pros and cons of these two choices.
I love the quality of the Toyota (we currently have a Toyota we purchased new and it's been the best car I've ever owned), but I wonder if it's smarter to go with the additional space that the Expy EL will offer.
We have enough kids to nearly fill either one, and will have a double stroller in the back a few times a week. I'll be taking the kids to several activities a week. Most are close but one trip will be about 45 mins ea way.
I limit my grocery trips so I do buy a *lot* when I go, but I don't bring all the kids with me.
We drive to our vacations (8 - 20 hour trips), but those are only 2x or 3x a yr.
Thoughts? Especially from those with a more-than-average-number-of-children who have owned either.
Thanks!
