New Wheels

In early June, Grant and I finally bit the bullet and bought a new car!  We were pretty sure we wanted a Honda Pilot, but had to test drive every other car on the market just to make sure.  Ultimately, the decision was narrowed down to the Toyota Highlander, the Nissan Armada, and the Honda Pilot (which obviously won in the end).  

I had previously been driving a Nissan Altima, so the extra space has been FABULOUS (and essential for a mom of two).  The only thing I miss SO much about my Altima was that I could unlock the doors and start the car with the push of a button.  My keys NEVER left my purse.  It was wonderful, but I’m learning to cope. :)

 

This car has tons of great features too though.  A DVD player (Oh my gosh, how I love it!!  But we definitely limit the usage.  It’s only for long-ish car rides or when Maddie is screaming in the back seat.).  It also has leather seats, and can fit 8 people!!  This was the main reason for the new car.  We needed to be able to fit friends and family in our car.  The car has already taken it’s maiden voyage road trip to Alabama and back (more on that later), and the drive was a dream!

I come from a very serious line of Honda lovers.  And ironically, my dad, sister, and I all currently drive Pilots!  What can I say?!  We are true fans.
