[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 471676, member: 47"] Our Ford F150 was just totaled last month - love that truck - extended cab, lift kits, TV that dropped down - but even with extended cab, the back seat were not real comfortable - but it fit the bill for SO and I, and had a lot of room to haul stuff for our storage gig. But then his mom moved in with us, and there was NO way we could ever get her in the truck - for me to even get in the dang thing because it was so high I had to step on the side rail as it was 4 foot off the ground -bottom of the door panel was waist high. Since it was our only vehicle post mom, we have been renting various vans/mini vans/SUV's to see how it fit with family needs - big enough to haul stuff, big enough to carry a wheel chair. The one that we fell in love with was the Mazda 5 - sliding doors, closer to the ground, actually has 6 seats, 4 of which can be closed down for more room in the back (If we bought one from Hertz, it ran about 14,000 for the 2011 (sport model) low milage (they put them up for sale after I think it is 12,000 miles) then went to the Mazda dealer this weekend and had to tell the sport model I didn't love him anymore, but his brother, the Grand Touring, had my heart :) SO said I only liked it because of the moon/sun roof, plus the fact that I could have the air conditioning on just for me when I was sitting in the back We did look at the Chevy Equinox which had better gas milage, bells and whistles and only a little more than the Mazda.
