My family is growing up and we often need room to transport family along with their friends. There are just so many makes/models to research, I wondered if anyone had any experience with this? I currently own a 97 jeep grand cherokee laredo, and I LOVE it. It just keeps going and going, and lots of room. I will probably keep it in shape for our first child - - approaching "first car" age, until it wears out.
