OK so we are due with #2 in Feb 2013 
& need to upgrade our 2001 Ford Escape to a mini-van because of the kids I pick up after daycare & school & for room to do family trips. So here is what I would like:
- Stow & go or similar storage would be great
- Great heater (the Canadian Winter thing)
- Good safety ratings
- Good handling
- Front wheel drive (minimum, all wheel drive preferred)
- 8 passenger (or 7 passenger that we can easily replace the second row seat to make it an 8 passenger (just because you can always bring someone else along))
- Roomy in the back seats
- Decent cargo area (will likely mean we need the extended model)
- Reliable & cheap to fix
- Easy car seat install would be great
OK I think thats it for now but I am sure you ladies will think of other things I need.
Oh one more thing the budget, not more than 5,000$ (mini-van's don't seem to have much re-sale value in my area so I still have some good choices, I've seen 2005-2006 mini-van's in my price range)
Thanks!
