[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 1000604, member: 56140"] Jerry, We have a 2006 Mountaineer Premier V8 AWD. We have a 13 month old son and a girl that will be here in 5 weeks. The 3rd row for the Mountaineer is nice for excess passengers, though I would NEVER want to travel long distances in that 3rd row. The size is large enough to give plenty of room while small enough to still get around. A Jeep Patriot or a Honda Ridgeline would NEVER give you enough room for two kids. We have Little Tom and while a small SUV like an Escape would work, you would be cramped with little to no room for his stroller, let alone grocery bags or anything else. Nothing smaller than a mid size SUV for me. The gas mileage kinda sucks, 15 to 16 MPG mixed and 22 MPG highway, but for the size it isn't too bad. Unfortunately, it isn't practical for anything smaller. Theresa's cousin went from a Ford Expedition to a Nissan Pathfinder, hoping they could save some money on gas. With 4 kids, the Pathfinder is too small and the gas mileage savings of a couple MPG's isn't worth the lack of room, power, and usability. They will be going back to an Expedition soon. Tom [/QUOTE]
