I drive a mini van, but in my heart I'm a Jeep Cherokee kinda gal.

Although that BMW sounds nice.....

Husband and I used to have a conversion van with velour seats and a couch/bed in the back. Closet, cooler, the works. Oh, that was nice sometimes, when the kids got restless. Some people go in the bathroom and shut the door and the world out. We went out to the van. ;D

I've never owned an automatic, and was pissed when I found it's very difficult to rent a stick in the US from the regular rental services. Through two VWs, four Fords, and one of each Opel (German GM), BMW, Lotus and Honda, never an auto. Never.

Which is killing me in trying to buy a family mover. The only stick I can find that seats seven is the Suzuki XL7, and that was a recent option (before, you got the auto if you got the rear seat). And I don't really like it.

"I drive nothing but stick shifts."

Same here. The first car I learned to drive had a stick and I hated it. Once I got it down, I was hooked. Many years later and because of traffic, I said my next vehicle would be an auto but I just couldn't do it once the time came. I'm hooked, although I sometimes worry about resale.
