Interested as to how exactly they hold up the line. You drive the car, the car stops, a door opens, a child gets in and the car drives away. Are you telling me the process is more efficient in your Prius?


So much jealousy on this board.

Not the PP, but Cayenne/Range Rover/GLS/Q7 are sexy and appealing cars. Nobody is jealous of a middle america soccer mom car.

Oh I wish my daughter would drive a minivan, they are so practical and easy to drive but she wouldn't be caught dead in one. Instead she drives an SUV that's so big you could launch missiles off the roof.

Meh. All I care about is a car easy to load and unload a half dozen kids and all their gear so I dont have to drive each time there is practice. Plus I like the 23MPG I get.

You're driving the car YOURSELF? Oh, the horror. The car is meaningless if you don't have a driver, OP.

So, all fine choices in view of her priorities.

This.

The Discovery (fka LR4).

There are a lot of Suburbans and Tahoes in McLean, I think they are the understated way of getting a very large and substantial people-carrier that also won't look out of place when driven out to more rural areas.

The Land Rover Discovery has a standard third row and it is spacious. The Discovery Sport version has an option for a third row but the third row is much smaller.

We purposely have a smaller car so we can't offer to drive
But we do offer our house as the pre or post game meet up spot, and we always have fresh lemonade and a pizza oven
