Your suggestion was ignored, because that vehicle doesn't look "macho" enough for Americans.

Charging $35K for what amounts to a Ford Ranger with a roof was getting a little long in the tooth.

Honda Ridgeline. The under-the-bed trunk will hold a stroller. Mine has held a whole bunch of shit since I bought it.

Didn't even know the ridgeline had that. Gains a point in my book.

Is your passenger 300 lbs?

Ever been in a Compass? They are NOT very big.

hmm, can't see the pic so it may answer my question, but what if you want to haul stuff IN the bed.. then stuff in trunk is trapped.

Plus I doubt that door is water-proof

Back seat is so narrow that the front seat has to be almost all the way forward to get the bucket style car seat in. Makes for a cramped passenger.

Oh and I love a Mazda 5. Don't think hubby would go for one though.

The person who asked the question seems to have read it. She also seems to be saying that it wouldn't be macho enough for Western Canadians either

How often is a mom hauling stuff in the bed? I don't even haul that much shit in the bed. And if I do, I take out what I might need outta the trunk first.

Talking about my Ridgeline? It's waterproof.
