Yeah it's actually a shame those seats will get taken up with car seats!

Going to lease it, so we'll see how it does. 54% residual, .00001 money factor.
Congrats on the twins!
Also congrats on the new minivan!

Hope everything works out nicely.
Please do update us on your experiences, if you have time or the inclination, as I'm sure other CL members are also interested.
(Mrs and I are a few years off yet from having little ones, but definitely good information here in this thread.)

Many thanks!

Yeah I'm looking forward to trying out a Kia and seeing just how far the Koreans have come.

Should find out here in a couple hours what colors he can get his hands on, and if he can't get his hands on our top 3 we'll do a deal on the grey one we drove yesterday

Congrats! Looks sharp. Are those headrests adjustable in the 2nd row? (they look like they fold so you can sleep and rest your head on an angled headrest)

The van is in the driveway. Would have taken pics but its pouring out, I'll take some pics once we can get it all cleaned up.

So far so good, I'm flipping through the book. They have some interesting tech. A few odd omissions...like it has the tech package with adaptive cruise, PCS, lane departure, etc but no automatic wipers and no TPMS with PSI readouts.

We're taking it to NJ with the twins for their first trip this weekend. I'll report back how it does!

Yeah the second row has butterfly headrests...that second row is awesome.
