Or you can go all in on the suburban douche factor like me and get a Range Rover (a proper Range Rover - not that dumbed-down Sport version). 

Damn son.

Don't get a VW.  Unless you like dropping $500 - $1000 every time you take it in for simple maintenance/oil changes.  Shit on those cars wears out faster than anything and parts are expensive.  Nice cars, but horrible horrible moneypits.

I know because I've owned two.  The fact that I did not learn my lesson after VW #1 makes me the stupidest person in this thread.

Most ladies & gents I know don't take out the car seat ever. Unless you are traveling and don't have a spare. They use a stroller or sling. Imagine back / hip / wrist pain too.

for some reason, what ford did to jaguar, is unacceptable.

i took it out quite a bit when  they were really little and in one of those car seats that snaps right into the stroller.

Bleggghhh.  Babies.  There is no amount you could pay me to hit the reset button on that clock again.

Consumer Reports seems to rate most VWs very good to excellent on Owner Satisfaction (although middling on reliability)…but you hear a pretty loud chorus like the one in this forum on costs/maintenance. Wonder what the disconnect is…

They are NICE cars and for the sticker price you get a lot.  Just very expensive to own.

Coincidentally I am in the market for new (to me) car.  My family and our two dogs can not all go someplace together without taking two cars.  The corolla and civic are not cutting it anymore.  Plus I need something that can tow a trailer.

Looking hard at a used ford Explorer.

yeah we took out the infant seat all the time. the toddler one, never

For me, this post is right up there with "Snape kills dumbledore."

I'm rethinking my opposition to mini vans.

my honda will die at some point . . . so close to 200000.  is honda still the company of choice for reliability and lasting length?  i remember at one point toyota was ruling, then ford came on strong.  i want another honda if possible, or a truck if choosing something outside honda.
