    No laughing! We have 9 and 10 year old boys and a baby on the way! We needed the space!

    Congrats! If you have to have a minivan, I understand the MPV is a pretty good one to have!

    Hey now!

    No soccer ball stickers on the back! Only a zoom-zoom sticker will be placed back there!

    We're driving it to Wichita Falls this weekend to show the in-laws. We're excited to have it! Great to have all that room with zoom! We liked it because it doesn't look like a minivan from the front, it drives like a car and is smaller than most of the maxivans out there but still seats 7 in comfort.

    I liked the new Honda Odyssey too but Honda won't deal on them. Hell, the used Hondas with 60k miles were more than what we paid for our new MPV. Granted, the Hondas have a good rep but the consumer reviews on the MPV were good too. Only common complaint was how the stock shifter blocks the view of the radio controls while in drive. We got a good deal on the MPV and used the $500 Rev-it-up rebate.

    If we love the MPV which I think we will, we may just run it into the ground. Should last us well over 200k miles. If not, we'll keep it 2-3 years and get something else.

    Isn't it sad that he is known collectively at our house as "the mean man"?

    Hell, I don't even know his name. Only time he has ever talked to us was to complain. He's a !

    "The Mean Man" is too long a name... just call him "Dick".

    Slick MPV! It is a shame that in the US they will be phasing out in favor of the Mazda 5 and Japan will be getting a turbo MZR engine MPV. I am not sure if their MPV will have AWD though...

    Though a turbo AWD version of the Mazda 5 would be hot.

    What kind of a mother are you! Mine just got the School Sticker, The Honor Student Sticker, and one for where my Kid takes dance class. I'm proud of my kid so I use the back window as a shrine to da kid!

    Now if I could find a MME sticker I'd put that on it also!

    Smooth. It is a great highway cruiser and easy to park. It drives like a car and you don't even realize how much space you're hauling around until you turn around.

    I put 16 glallons in to fill it up when it was on "E" but it says it has a 19 gal tank. We got to Wichita Falls and back (350 miles) and still have 1/8th of a tank. We're used to a Mustang so this might not be the smoothest riding vehicle but it's smooth and quiet to us.

    We can still be proud of our kids even if we don't advertise it to the world. Besides the goofy factor, I don't think every complete stranger needs to know our kids names.
