I like Nick's plan. Renting is a pain but if we are really talking about 1 or 2 trips a year, it makes more sense than driving some giant tank around (and parking it--both my wife and I park in underground garages). But ha ha on Ecoboost things. Yes, I am hoist on my petard there. The current gen Explorer blows, but I suspect the new one is going to be a lot more interesting to drive. |

Cheap. Third row. Reliable. Quote:
We love ours. I know, I know... Looks like a box/ass/etc... It's very polarizing. But practical. |

I believe JST suggested the Flex to me more than once when looking for such a vehicle. We don't have one for stupid reasons, not because it isn't a near perfect vehicle for what it does well.

has anyone test driven the honda accord 6MT? actually seems like it could be a option for my situation but guessing it does not drive that sporty.

My advice: Stang, the dark green Bullitt edition GT. Let the kids squish in the back.

B) Ironically enough, the day I test drove the Tesla I first drove a Mustang GT. Do not want. I had a whole route planned, hopping from one dealer to the next - Mustang GT, Tesla Model 3, Miata, Camaro SS. But after the Tesla I went straight home. I was done. |

If this is really an occasional trip thing, why not just rent a suburban or something?
