    A good 7 seater?

    ok..so i need a bigger car and am after a 7 seater.

    i have my eye on are a mitsubishi chariot or a mazda mpv. both cars are 1999 to 2001.

    are there any other cars i should cast an eye on?

    does anyone know anything about these cars i should be carefull of?

    cheers

    Get a 4x4 that seats 7.

    Getting a minivan makes a man look like he's given up on life.

    My partner had to get one of those gay Toyota family movers. Practical as but dont expect any street credit with that puppy. I tend to stick to my car rather than subject myself to the constant paranoia of being spotted in the van.

    I have a relative with one of the Kia Carnivals - its possibly a newer model than you are looking for but they are very large and have great functionality. They have a large family and rave about how useful and practical it is. Doesnt look too bad with a body kit on it either.... dare I say it.

    look at a 7 seater commadore or falcon wagon, theyre not as bad on gas as everyone says when you factor in the fact that they cost fkall to maintain, and theyre huge (plenty of space, 3 carseats across the back) they drive like a normal car,(coz thats what they are) have plenty of grunt, and theyr'e easy on tyres compared to the average van/mpv/4wd.........

    We've had our falcon for 5 years and have had to spend less than a grand (including 6 tyres) on maintainance in that time.

    I do all the maintainance my self but even for parts only thats as cheap as chips...

    CHeck out the Honda Odyssey...got me a 6 seater cos it has the captains chairs in the back instead of two bench seats but then I don't have 5 kids so I don't really need the 7th seat. Good cars Hondas - never skip a beat and they seem to run well a long time past when the rust stops holding hands.

    We have a Honda Odyssey.

    Good for carrying kids but bloody ridiculous on gas. $100 gets us about 450kms.

    But if you need one they're good.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Yeah well the Odyssey is pretty much an Accord, with a 2 tonne box to carry around. You do the maths.

    haha yeah i dnt really care about street cred lol...i can pick up a chariot pretty cheap these days, plus i rekon they look pretty cool. i would love a commodore etc but its way outta my price range, im not too keen on the mazda now as i found the motors been made by ford and alot of reviews the cars shit itself. the hondas a 3.0l wich around town would be costly
