AC A340-500,
I totally understand, me being 22 years old (some say I'm not a grown up..like my lil sis (she's 9) ) that we are all individuals with lives, but yet I post here sometimes to avoid doing lots of stuff, so I can totally understand. But I'll tell you this...I'm not dedicated enough to this forum to get on at 6 AM to post! I guess some of us are just more dedicated than others.

Hey I'm a grown up man (some may beg to differ) and I oftentimes have something better to do than to post in this forum, yet I still do it. As for Jeff, he's probably trying to avoid mowing the lawn (or shoveling snow, given the time of year and his location).

My parents drive a 2000 Odyssey with 230000Km's on it with no problems. They're really good vans. I drive a '92 Sunbird, you could get 7 in there, but it wouldnt be a whole lot of fun!

I must quibble on one point however - a manual Subaru Legacy far outperforms the BMW on poor or snowy roads, in my experience! I have tried both. Offroad the BMW has a little extra clearance, which gives it the advantage
I just love driving my Dad's BMW though, so I guess I'm partial!
Take care,

SUVs are the vehicle to go with!!!
This is what my dad drives. The BMW X5.
If you can get this, then don't let it go!
I know its not a 7 seater, but boy does it beat a minivan any day!!!!!

My dad is the only Urologist / Uro-surgeon in 4 countys. He serves 4 hospitals, and if you've ever been to Northwestern PA, you would know that our winters here are brutal! Lake effects snows up here can add up on the roads very quickly and make for very very treacherous driving! My dad works from 6 am to 8 pm every single day.....including weekends. He is on call 24/7. If he has to go to another hospital, which are usually 20 miles apart, he needs car that can get him there!
Let me answer your questions.
1) No he does not go offroading.
2) The space capable in this car is very great...for your information my dad drove a Chrysler Town & Country before (a minivan) and this car with the back seats down can fit a comparable amount of stuff.
3)The roads here can get very very harsh in the winter time.
4) This SUV is an All Wheel Drive car!
5) I used to drive a Subaru Legacy, and the BMW handles 10 times better than that does on snow.
6)My dad is certainly not a poser, in fact those who know will say he is one of the most simple guys they've met. He's just enjoying some of his hard earned cash...thats not wrong at all.
Kat, if you need to know, please ask a little nicer next time. It's wrong to assume.
By the way, Adam (DeltaASA16) thanks for you support bro. I know many people here don't know me too well but i really appreciate you sticking up for me!

The all-new Toyota minivan (Sienna?) should fit your dad's needs. Toyota looked at the competition while designing this minivan and the Odyssey was one of the vehicles they looked to improve over. As for me, I would get the Volkswagen Touareg.

My dad doesn't want a minivan or big car for off-roading/harsh conditions/ He needs it for interior space.
We are starting to like the Acura GDX. If anybody has any cons about this car, please tell me. Thanks for all your input so far (yeah Jess, even you ).
