Does anyone have a Chrysler Pacifica?? If so can you give me some input on it (likes/dislikes). Or if you have any other suv or crossover can you please give me input on it!! I will be getting a new or used vehicle in February and I am having trouble figuring out what I want. tia!!

My best friend has a Pacifica.  She likes it pretty well, except it is difficult to get a kid in and out of the rear seat.  There are three rows of seating, but the rear seats are very small and there is practically no leg room.  If you have a car seat back there, you have to move the second row seat up to get to it.  So if you have a car seat in the second row too, it is pretty impossible without making your kid climb over the seats.

I have a Chevy Tahoe and I love it!  At first I was nervous about driving such a big SUV, but I feel completely safe in it driving my four kids around.  I've had it for almost 3 yrs now and when we're done paying it off I want to get a newer model.

Now my sister just got a Honda Pilot a few months back.  It is AWESOME!  It's smaller than the Tahoe, but it's sooo roomy!  She just recently got into a really bad accident and since the Pilot has airbags all the way around the frame of the truck, she only walked away with a few cuts and bruises!  And the car seat where my nephew USUALLY sits (no, he wasn't with her at the time) wasn't even touched.  If you're gonna go a little smaller I would recommend the Honda Pilot.  Very, very safe vehicle.

I have a 05 Dodge Durango. I LOVE it. I have always been a very nervous driver but I feel completely safe in this. It fits 4 car seats(and one person between the first row car seats if need be, cargo space could be a little better but when one of the carseats is out(I only have 3 of my own but watch another) it has stow and go seats so the cargo room increases alot.

Gas milage is not terrible. It is better than my 01 Chrysler Town and Country was.

I noticed that the ones witha third row seat only have two seat in the middle and two seats in the back so thats really only one more seat than if it was only two rows which would be three in the back...Does that make since

Does anybody know how much room the backseat has for only a two row pacifica??

We have a Chevy Trailblazer and I loved driving it. It drives really great...the only dislikes are...it's horrible on gas and for two kids it seemed cramped. We got a Dodge grand caravan..so I drive it now and DH drives the Trailblazer to work/drop DD off at school.

When my oldest got his driver's license last year we gave him my SUV 2001 Isuzu Rodeo and I LOVE it!!! We got a Nissan Xterra, but I really think I liked my Rodeo more.

I think it's because the Rodeo is so much easier to drive, esp. in the snow! Glad my son's driving it, pretty safe.
