2 weeks ago we ventured to "Test Dr." to look at a few cars we had our eye on. As much as we love our Honda Element, it is just too small for two carseats (there are only 2 'real' seats in the back).
So we went & test drove a Honda Pilot, which we really liked- I have to admit I may have liked the leather seats, back up camera, dvd player, navigation system etc. a little more than the actual car.
It was a nice test drive, but we decided to check out the VW & Toyota place as well- we ended up getting sucked into the VW dealership & walking out proud owners of a new VW Routan.
Maybe it was the free pizza & soda or the fact that we got a sweet, fully-loaded car for about $15,000 less than the Pilot & the same car payment we have now (leather, back up camera, Sirius radio, 2 dvd players with wireless headphones, seating for 7 & back row seats that fold out of the way or turn around with a 'tailgating' option.
We got a great deal & felt good about it- despite doing no research and very little hard bargaining. Lily still calls it her 'cool new car" and we all LOVE riding in it.
We haven't taken a bunch of pictures yet, but here is one (along with my big ole belly).
