Shopping for a 3-row family car

My wife is pregnant with our third baby and she is on full nesting mode which apparently means shopping for a new Family car, but not just any car. We need one with three rows I'm the size of a large child and I fit great in here Enough space for car seats diaper bags a stroller and maybe even some trunk space left over. I don't know if this was gonna work Dang it today We're going to check out a mix of gas Electric and even some over-the-top booty rides just to see how they all stack up We have six different car dealerships that we will be visiting and we're starting with kia It's made it to the kia dealership. And here is the ev9 baby. It's actually pretty good The ev9 is kia's first ever all electric three-row suv check this out. It is. Oh, that's actually a problem I feel like our kids are going to ding some cars when they open this up. That's the perk of a minivan Okay, you know what? Stop bringing up the minivan. I can sit all the way in the back of this vehicle. It's a little tight I am a six-two man. I mean this could work check this out, too. There's like a sunroof Isn't that sick abby's in the driver's seat and sweating. We got the ac pumping. Thanks to lewis He is a representative from the dealership that is with us today. Thank you lewis. Absolutely appreciate you I love this big screen. I think there's even like a setting abby that you can get a massage on your back, right? How can we get this massage going? Right here it's massaging my butt right now, it's okay if I drive it. Yes. Okay, sweet. I don't trust myself It's easy you're right i've just never driven a vehicle this big I feel like a soccer mom How do you like the driving experience so far? I really like it. I just have to get used to that Whoa, wait, hold up so you can that's a screen. Do you see that on the camera back? What what do you see? You can see what the speed limit is and the speed Oh, no way Only the driver can see that's nice The range of this specific model is about 230 miles, which is a bit concerning But I still wanted to do a deeper dive into the interior. I will admit this car is so nice I was impressed by it I especially like how they have air vents on the ceiling for the middle row as well as the background I also like that There's a sunroof next we test drove the vehicle abby was most excited for the 2025 kia carnival. Don't tell lewis But I think we need a minivan. Oh my gosh, first of all, look at all this storage. I will admit That's a lot of storage You can why do you want to fit a lot of stuff in there? This one doesn't do it But they have one like this where you get rid of this middle seat You can slide this whole seat to the middle So then whoever has to go to the back seat can just walk in and go to the back seat Which would be very useful for us because we're gonna have two huge car seats passenger view It's basically a built-in baby monitor in your car. I really do like that the doors slide open and close I think we're gonna get a lot less kids dinging cars with all that. I'm only five two, but I fit great Like I fit amazing in here. I'm the size of a large child and I fit great in here I think the minivan life is calling us Tell me what you think about the ev9 compared to the kia carnival. Okay. Look sunroof sunroof. I don't know if that one has Does that one have a sunroof? Yes. Oh gosh Oh, it's like this one. It's the same You feel like a a true mom driving this minivan I feel like a poser mom in a tesla. The inside is a lot nicer than I thought it would be it feels luxury Let me look at the rear seats Passenger view and hey, check it out. There's lewis I'm impressed. I really am i'm impressed on day two of car shopping We went to the cadillac dealership to test drive the first ever escalade iq Okay, abby is now inside the electric escalade. This is the wait. Is it the l2? What is it? What version is it called? What do you think right now? It's Like gorgeous. Here's the trunk space. I do like how much trunk space there is for an ev that's really nice We're gonna have a lot of huge person true. I'd have to climb across a rear-facing car seat Which I would not have this space right here. Yeah, that would be tricky To buckle them up here. Yeah, super cool feature rides. Oh my gosh. What did you just do? Did you just collapse that down transformer? Someone doesn't have to let you out abby. That's actually so I know you just push the button Whoa There are two features on this vehicle that blew me away Number one are the doors you just squeeze the handle and they open up and to close them you swipe on a touchscreen And number two is the e-trunk which is essentially a second trunk on the front of the vehicle. This is Probably one of the coolest cars i've been inside Um, there's a little mirror right here, but it's actually a camera Carnival has that too. This is twelve thousand dollars off. I think it's a sign. I think it means that we need to get it What do you say? You I here's what I know is going on in your head. You're like crap. I wanted this one to be so much better than Stop get away from me get away from me. Hey, abby. Can I tell you a secret? What I think right now? Looks just as luxury but at a fraction of the price tag. That's what i'm thinking. What are you thinking? No, the kia carnival is not electric and we need to get an electric car because it's saving the planet I'm, just trying to do okay I just care about the earth. My goodness. That is a beauty.

Let's eat I am so hungry on day number three We went to the toyota dealership to test drive the sienna and i've got to tell you guys I was not impressed Maybe it's just because my mom drives a toyota sienna and that just makes me think this car is super lame in my opinion This car is ugly. What do you think about the toyota? Yeah. Yeah. What do you think about this? What you like it? No, actually, I don't like it either It really feels like a mpv like it doesn't feel like a minivan this is feeling like Let me give you guys a little tour of the outside because I think it's worth showing you You know, it has a similar similar look and feel to the kia carnival I mean, it's a it's a van but it it does have that like traditional van look Here's the thing why i'm so team minivan trunk space It cannot compete Yeah with these forerunners these highlanders you have like six inches in those It's kind of pathetic for such a big vehicle on day number four We went to the tesla dealership, but questioned if we were in the right place abby literally thought You literally thought that this was a service center only right? It doesn't look like a dealership here We are this is the model x this car is so sick You'd look at the like the coolest mom at uptown jungle I guess with these open up. They're not gonna bonk your head as much. Yeah getting into the car seat Way less space than these other options. Okay, let's look at the cyber truck just for fun Okay I just pulled up my tesla app the sales guy was able to get me to where I can Literally drive the car with just my phone pretty cool. Are you okay if you end up in our vlog somehow? I think that'd be like pretty exciting to be honest Chris christopher, nice to meet you guys. Okay ready for demo start demo drive Confirm here we go. Go ahead. We're in let's do this, babe This is so this is super exciting. You want to drive or me? You can drive you you're clearly stoked about this Guys, we are about to experience full self-driving. I'm a little terrified, but I think we should just go ahead and start Okay, so so i'm gonna do is press this button full self-drive. It says be attentive keep your hands at the wheel. Wow What the heck? Oh my god, what's funny is that there's a camera inside this car to make sure that your eyes are facing forward So like what really is the point of full self-driving if your full attention has to be on the road still great question Oh, it's good. It's turning. It's turning. Give me your honest thoughts. Why or why not would this not be a good? This is a beautiful car. It is very high tech. It would be awesome for a family of four It feels no bigger than our current vehicle if i'm being totally honest honestly Yeah, you're kind of you actually kind of do have a point with that Actually, the vehicle is now parked and abby's gonna show us what it looks like when the doors open up She's gonna press the buttons go for it, babe whoa That is sick who should go sit in the back row and get a get a feel for what that's like Oh my gosh, wait, that's bad. That is way less space than I thought it would be to be honest. That's really useful I don't know if this was gonna work Dang it. Dang it. Dang it. That is an amazing third row. Why does it have to be so cramped back here? This car is amazing. Well, you just sit back there for the whole time. These are where my legs are This is what the trunk space looks like a little help back here, please I don't know how to get you out, man Next we're going to check out my favorite family car the rivian r1s But before that we had to get some food for the pregnant mama, babe. How are we feeling? How are we feeling about this car buying process? What's your instinct telling you? I know what I want right when I want it right when I see it I'm, just trying to convince you now in case anybody didn't know when abby and I went ring shopping when we Decided we wanted to marry each other very first ring kid. You not very first ring abby tried on she wanted that one It was done. I probably should have taken abby to the rivian dealership first Because she falls in love with whatever she finds first including her husband because i'm the first guy she ever dated So we made it. I feel good about this, babe. What about you? I think this is where we're gonna find our car Me too, we weren't able to test drive the r1s because their salesman had left for the day But we weren't able to peek inside which was super helpful These are the back seats there is more trunk space in this one than I noticed in the tesla model x abby How are you feeling up in the up in the front here is beautiful and it feels so nice to be in this This is pretty nice up here. We gotta get it. We gotta get it. It's just not practical love. Gosh I wish it was though. Trust me I know this isn't ideal But we could get three slim fit seats for the second row so that all three of our kids could be in the second row Then put that back row down. We would have a crap ton of space. I just freaking love this car. I think this car is awesome Yeah, i'm gonna give you i'm gonna go back to my original statement here new cars are so fun and glamorous Yes for a few months to maybe even a year. Yes, and then Yes, that wears off I want to like it I just know that from a practicality standpoint this isn't gonna work We're running out of time. Should we go to one more dealership and call it a day? Sure. Let's do it Okay, one more dealership. Let's do it. That one was so sad I want it then we went to gmc and we are both blown away by the yukon xl This is a vehicle abby has seen outside her gym quite a bit I think a lot of moms also in our neighborhood drive this it was a beautiful car. Just check this out My first impression is holy crap. This is sick. I think this might be one of my favorites This is actually really a ton of space and the trunk is huge and then look up there matt Look how cool it looks and it has the screens right here. That is amazing The thing that's sticking out to me is the trunk space on this check this out you guys I was not expecting to be this impressed by this vehicle. I know me neither Why you like randomly said we should check out a yukon today? And I was like, there's a reason a lot of moms drive this car probably this is the biggest reverse uno card abby This car is beautiful. Gosh use this. I don't know but I love it guys. Look at all this space back here Where did he say we could drive to I think he just said ranger just gave us these keys, dude Ranger was the chillest sales rep ever. He literally just handed us the keys didn't even ask for iid He said he trusted us, which I don't know why he Trusts us. Um, but I like him. He's cool. He's not dressed fancy, which made me trust him even more I know I can see how fast i'm going because it has that. Oh, no way. What do they call that? Um heads up display heads up display. I feel like a real mom. I feel like a real hot mom. Wait, babe Do we have cooled seats? Yes, you don't feel that on your cheeks right now? No, I do That's why i'm saying i'm looking at the screen, baby. You are a hot mom. You don't need this car to be a hot Oh, I know. I know that's what i'm saying. The only thing you need to be a hot mom Car is to be a hot mom. Okay Here while you're doing this I'm gonna go hop in the back Because I want to feel what it's like to sit in the third row if I were like one of our kids back here Gosh, it's so spacious back here. Look I can comfortably sit in the very back seat Okay, i'm sold let's buy it wait how crazy would it be if we bought it today That would be a great ending. Think about the vlog. Thank you. Maybe we should sleep on it. Should we sleep on it? Nah
