I have two kids and a Corolla. No plans to upgrade unless a 3rd child surprises us somewhere along the line. The gas mileage is awesome and I can park in the teeniest of spaces. The trunk is pretty decent sized. We have a P3 stroller, and a bunch of boogie boards, beach gear and stuff in it. I can even fit DS's bike back there. Our other car is a van (older model, 95) but DH drives that and it has all his work junk in it. I only drive it when I need to haul around my nephew or DS's friends. We also take it camping. I really do love my tiny car and since it is paid off I plan to keep it until it dies. But I do think that only having one car that is small would be difficult. What if you need to go on a road trip or even just getting to the airport? Where would your suitcases go? How much trunk space would you have?
