We have a 2000 Ford Windstar that needs to be replaced before the extended warrenty runs out next summer. We are a family of 7 plus our au pair so we are really looking for a 8-passenger vehicle. Kids' ages range from 2 yr old to 9.5 yrs - 27 lbs to 70 lbs (though 57" tall) - so we have 2 in 5 pt harnesses and 2 in turbo boosters.
I have looked at the Odyssey but am not real crazy about the 'third seat' in the middle row. Also the packages are very limited if you want 8 passenger. Sienna has more options and is ok, but has a lower safety rating. The Expedition is another vehicle we have looked at but hate the gas mileage.
What other vehicles are there with seating for 8, good safety rating, decent mileage, and some cargo room? Honda Pilot has the right seating but no cargo room as do most of the mid-sized SUVs.
Is there a website that lets you search on capacity, safety ratings, mileage or other features?
Thanks,
Cindy B.
