Im not sure if this was the right place to post this so I figured here seemed ok.
Right now we own 2 cars, a cystler 300 and a ford explorer. Since having a baby I feel like we have grown out of my car. It seats 5 and is very nice but I just dont think it is working, having a carseat in the back seat makes room for only one other person. My husband drives the explorer and he uses it to travel for work and hes happy with it but as a family we dont use it a whole lot, theres alot of traveling miles on it so when it is home we just let it rest in the drive. I recenlty went shopping for a SUV kinda like the tahoes and yukons but there so much money and gas for them is incredible. So I decided to check vans out, after looking at several I fell in love with the Dodge Caravan, it is half the price of the yukon and gets much better gas milage and seats the same as a SUV. Does anyone have one or been around one enough to know if this is a good van? Im real tempted to trade my car in for a van just for the extra space, and the stow n go package is super cool too. I really just wonder if anyone has any experience owning a van and if they enjoy it.
I test drove one and it seemed nice but I dont know if thats enough to buy one. I dont now anyone who owns one and I dont want to rush into something I will end up not liking. If and when I buy something I want it for a long time, not something I end up wanting to get rid of after a year or 2.
Any thoughts or information would be great.
Thanks
