Sporty, AWD, super safe, good gas mileage, and a surprising amount of room for RF car seats! Love Subarus. It's DHs daily driver. I have a 2011 Acura MDX that we bought used. It's an awesome SUV - very comfortable, spacious, and reliable. The gas mileage is dismal, though, so gas $$ is painful when I'm doing my 60 mile round trip commute regularly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have/page/2#post-2360985 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 09:00:21 +0000 mediagirl 2360985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>'08 Mazda 3. It fits us okay. My husband has an '07 Camry and we take our road trips in that. In a few years I plan on getting a bigger car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have/page/2#post-2360980 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 08:58:57 +0000 BananaPancakes 2360980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: My husband is dying to get a Sequoia. I currently drive an '08 Tahoe, so we're trying to make a decision about what we want to go with next, and the Sequoia is at the top of his list. I want to go smaller, he wants bigger. We'll see what we eventually end up with. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have/page/2#post-2360951 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 08:49:50 +0000 LuLu Mom 2360951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drive a GMC Acadia, I love the room will probably drive it until it dies (or starts breaking down too much.) And DH has a commuter car Chevy Impala. he only drives it to work, it's the older model. We are looking to get him something different soon but it's working for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have/page/2#post-2360928 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 08:39:35 +0000 rachiecakes 2360928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a couple of Priuses. My husband has the smaller city version, the Prius C and I have a full size Prius.<br /> They're fine for our family of three but I had to get the bigger Prius because the C was starting to feel tiny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have/page/2#post-2360907 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 08:32:41 +0000 BSB 2360907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>CRV for me and a Tacoma truck for the DH. We might be trading in DH's truck for an SUV or minivan soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have/page/2#post-2360870 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 08:01:09 +0000 yin 2360870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2006 Acura TSX. Owned for 9 years and just hit 150k miles earlier this week. It's small but fits our needs. I could use a little extra trunk space and had my eye on a TSX wagon. Too bad they stopped making them last year, and it's so hard to find used. </p> <p>DH has a 1999 Mazda Miata. Two seat convertible isn't exactly family friendly. He bought it before we knew I was pregnant with our first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have/page/2#post-2360841 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 06:47:04 +0000 PrincessBaby 2360841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I currently have a 2013 Nissan Murano. I like it a lot, it's really nice and it works fine for 2 car seats.</p> <p>I just ordered a 2016 Volvo S60 (I have a company-provided vehicle and choose from a list) and I'm mildly apprehensive about going to a sedan with car seats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have/page/2#post-2360561 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 20:38:41 +0000 Canoli 2360561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband has a 2013 Honda Pilot and we just bought a 2015 Honda CRV for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have#post-2360546 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 20:31:29 +0000 MrsYellowJacket 2360546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: we have the Mercury mariner which I also bought when I was 17! It's been going so strong. I'm so proud of it :) DH drives that and I drive an Infiniti QX56 which I also love. It's perfect for our upcoming twins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have#post-2360528 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 20:22:38 +0000 Ms. RV 2360528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a '13 Subaru Outback and OH has an '08 (I think) BMW X3. Both are great for car seats, unless one of you is 6'4" in which case it's hard to fit two RF seats in anything! I read there is something with the current X3's that make it so they won't really fit anyone comfortably with a RF seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have#post-2360526 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 20:22:06 +0000 yellowbird 2360526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an 09 Hyundai Elantra and a 2016 Kia Sorento. They are both fine for our kids but I wouldn't want to take the Elantra on a long trip. It's def not as comfortable and there is no storage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have#post-2360520 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 20:17:12 +0000 Littlebit7 2360520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: what convertible seat do you have?

It's perfect for our family, and I love that someone can sit in the back between two car seats. I miss our Impreza, but not the neck/back pain it caused when getting the kids in and out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have#post-2360472 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 19:44:35 +0000 MrsRcCar 2360472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Pontiac torrent and DH has a Pontiac Montana. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have#post-2360468 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 19:42:43 +0000 MrsB2012 2360468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a toyota sienna. Just got it a month or so ago. It was an adjustment going from my car, but I'm happy with the switch. So much room for the 2 carseats, tons of room for my 100 pound dog. When we (hopefully) have #3 soon, there will still be lots of room.<br /> Dh has a truck. I really really really wish he would have traded in his truck for the van and then kept my car. Seems silly to have 2 big vehicles, especially when my mazda was sooo good on gas with the skyactive engine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have#post-2360459 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 19:38:51 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2360459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a brand new Toyota Rav 4. I had my last car for over 10 years but it had some big problems and wasn't worth fixing- it was also small for family stuff. My husband has a 12 yr old Toyoya 4Runner and he is obsessed with it! Both are pretty family friendly for now with one child. His is better for long trips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have#post-2360447 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 19:33:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2360447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayLou: I love subaru's! It will be my next car.</p> <p>I have an '08 ford fusion, not the luxury model lol! It is nice, I don't mind it at all. His carseat fits in the back just fine. I paid it off last year and it's so nice not having a car payment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have#post-2360440 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 19:26:18 +0000 erinbaderin 2360440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a VW Golf wagon and a Jetta. Both work fine with one car seat, although I find it a little uncomfortable in the passenger seat because I have long legs and feel like I can't get comfortable. We're definitely going to have to turn B front facing when baby #2 arrives because I wouldn't be able to get enough space in the driver's seat, I don't think. Otherwise, though, they're great cars, we especially love the wagon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have#post-2360432 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 19:23:13 +0000 Smurfette 2360432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an 09 Accord right now.

Love it!<br /> It's perfect for our family of 4 and was perfect when my sil and her 2 girls were staying with us for a little bit. ☺️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have#post-2360425 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 19:18:10 +0000 autumnlove 2360425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2012 Honda Civic and 2015 Toyota Sienna </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have#post-2360421 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 19:13:43 +0000 gingerbebe 2360421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a plug in Prius and we just traded in our Jeep Grand Cherokee for a Toyota Sienna. The Jeep would have been fine for two kids but we occasionally have to fit another adult or two in the car and decided to bite the bullet on the minivan. Auto sliding doors and trunk - life changing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have#post-2360338 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 18:02:26 +0000 Littlebit7 2360338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 door Volkswagen GTI. It's ok with a infant carrier. We bought a giant Yakima roof rack before our first big trip with baby. As my husband says "it's cheaper than a new car". Delaying the inevitable, I think, considering we take several week-long car trips every year to see far-off family. We love that car. It will be a sad day if we every have to get rid of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have#post-2360268 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 17:14:37 +0000 catlady 2360268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honda Fit. Works fine for 1 LO although I'm not sure if we will be able to deal with 2 carseats back there reasonably. DH and I are both quite small though so we don't need much leg room. We also live in the city and have no off-street parking so having a compact car is a necessity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-car-do-you-have#post-2360266 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 17:13:17 +0000 looch 2360266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a 2013 Toyota Venza and a 2014 Nissan Leaf.
