That was my curiosity.. how many times per year are all of you in 1 vehicle? 3-4 times/year? 20 times/year? every day?
I also didn't see a $$ threshold for this vehicle- $25K $40K? I stereotype that the "wife" will be charged with driving this vehicle everyday. What's her input?
In the 1970s, we had a 5 person family with grandparents next door (total 7 on occasion). Back then our answer was a VW Bus. While not fast, it
could get us where we needed to be, eventually
imho, if you can't fit in a 7 passenger Minivan, than a FULL SIZE van might be best. Given where you live, I imagine RWD would be adequate? If you really want "good mileage".. well.. you are asking TOO much now. take your pick.. space or mileage
or a Sprinter Diesel.. likely 20/25mpg
