Willie has a tank. A Nissan Safari 7 seater but really you should just call it a tank. It's a diesel, so pretty cost effective, but I hate driving it coz it's so big and clunky. Suits him tho coz he is a truck driver and likes to own the road.

We just bought a brand new Honda CRV, and I am sooooo in love with my new wheels. It is a 2.4l "SUV", and my honda civic, which we traded in was a 2.5l, so the gas isn't really any difference. Both cost about $80 to fill up (at these prices) my civic was bout $70 - $75 at the beginning of the year. We got it cos it has heaps of boot space, and tonnes of backseat space, including 3 built into the roof thingys for the car seat tethers and a belt type one as well. You can easy fit 2 car seats and a teenager in the back, which we tried. I am super shallow, and image concious (well, not really, but what I am going to say next will sound that way)when we needed a bigger vehicle for our expanding family, I stated I would rather have a bike and 2 seats than a van or a wagon (unless it was an audi..)not to offend anyone, but I guess I never got over selling the MX5 dream for a 4 door sedan when I got preg with Jake...I wanted styley and sporty as well as practical, and the RAV4 4 doors, my first choice, too small! anyhow. Yep, I guess we have an SUV sort of, but not a real gas guzzler (although hubbys falcon futura is a guzzler..)

we have a mitsubishi challenger and i love it. its not a huge suv but not small like a rav 4 or vitara. its the first time ive ever had a car i love. sure the petrol is an issue but it would be with most cars these days. i love being higher and its so easy to get the kids out if plus heaps of boot room. i dont think i would go back to a normal car now.]]> Mon, 14 Aug 2006 10:54:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3451&PID=65836&title=big-cars#65836 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3451&PID=65824&title=big-cars#65824 Author: daikini

We have a Toyota Emina, which we love. Our "first" car which we bought about 6 months after we got married was a small Toyota Corolla station wagon... it was a 1.5l gutless wonder, but brilliant for around Hamilton and the odd longer trip (would struggle up the Kaimais when fully loaded though!) and roomy enough to fit everything we needed for a two week holiday with two kids.

We bought the Emina off my parents in May or June this year... going from a 1.5l to a 2.4l we expected to pay more for petrol, but really, it hasn't made that much difference to our budget as far as normal use goes.]]> Mon, 14 Aug 2006 10:40:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3451&PID=65824&title=big-cars#65824 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3451&PID=65816&title=big-cars#65816 Author: mummy_becks

My dad had one a Nissan Big Horn, but sold it due to the petrol costs. We have a V6 car at the moment and i am sure it eats the petrol cos we are going through a hell of a lot. I want to get a station wagon soon maybe after this bubs is born as it would be so much easier to cart the kids around.]]> Mon, 14 Aug 2006 10:18:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3451&PID=65816&title=big-cars#65816 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3451&PID=65791&title=big-cars#65791 Author: Lulu

We have always owned SUV's and V8's and Love them... the gas is just the price you have to pay I guess. I couldn't see myself in a little fuel efficient car now. But I'd never say never!

Yeah, a lot of people in the US and Canada have them and don't think twice about it, mind you - a few of my family members back home have them but it's because they have kids etc. I wouldn't mind one because I sort of do like the look, but ultimately couldn't justify the price of petrol if I wasn't driving it for a practical reason.]]> Mon, 14 Aug 2006 08:12:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3451&PID=65743&title=big-cars#65743 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3451&PID=65730&title=big-cars#65730 Author: emeldee

We own a people mover (Toyota Lucida) because it's the only car we all fit in together as a family (mum, dad, three kids and gran) AND it has enough boot space to fit a couple of pushchairs and a portacot. I hated it at first, because I moved from my nice sporty three door RAV4 which I loved into the people mover family van. I hate that it costs so much to fill now with the price of petrol, but kinda have to laugh when the middle-aged old men in my neighbourhood pull up at the gas station in their suburban land cruiser (why do you need one if you live on the north shore????) and end up paying twice as much to fill their tanks up.
We've also got a nice fuel efficient second car for hubby to take to work which doesn't cost us as much to fill.

What do you guys think about big cars like SUV's etc? Some of you must own them so am interested to see your opinions.. reason I ask is coz on another forum (*cough*forum nerd *cough) I go to, there are mainly Americans on there.. have known most of them for a few years now.. so someone bought a huge new SUV and I said "it's nice, good gas guzzler" or something along those lines and it really got everyone's back up! As most of them own them.. ]]> Sun, 13 Aug 2006 21:03:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3451&PID=65711&title=big-cars#65711
