A family car for a family of 3 and 5 children has been decided

Find a sedan type for a family of 5

As anyone who regularly visits this blog knows, we have three children at home.

Therefore, in order to move with the whole family, one car always needs a "family car that five people can ride at one time". After all, when we go out together, we want to move and act together.

The current 5-seater family car is the BMW 650i

Currently, the BMW 650i, which my husband mainly rides, exists in my home as the family car.

So far, it's not a problem for three of our children to sit side by side in the back seats and move around the city.

However, I've been riding this BMW 650i for a long time, so what should I do if this car breaks, and as the children are getting bigger, the back seat of the BMW with a little excitement in the middle sits down. I started thinking that it was getting harder, and I've been searching for a family car for a long time.

On the way, I took a look at SUVs, but somehow, I have a strange feeling, and the family car is definitely a "sedan type".

3 child seats in the back seat of BMW

It may be a little confusing, but this photo shows the BMW backseat (BMW 550i at this time) when all three of our children still needed a child seat.

Two Recaro sheets on the left and right, and one on Combi in the center.

After this, even if the children grew up and became a combination of child seats and boosters, I managed to spend time with the BMW 550i and 650i.

The most promising candidate is the BMW 850i Grand Coupe

After all, after a lot of thought ... In fact, the number one candidate was the BMW 850i Grand Coupe.

No, it's cool and very good.

However, only one point ... That, this BMW 850i is very good, but the center of the back seat has to spread your legs and you have to ride, and even if you compare it with the BMW 650i you are riding now, It wasn't that the back seats were "dramatically wider!"

Therefore, "If the size of the back seat is not much different from now, it does not mean that children who are bigger than before will be more comfortable." I started thinking, "Is it okay to buy a new one after it's a little old?"

The price of the BMW 850i Grand Coupe is quite high, so I hesitate to buy a new one without any particular reason.

Sudden appearance of Mercedes

With this kind of flow, I was feeling a little easier thinking, "Well, in case of emergency, with the BMW 850!" ... Sudden development was waiting.

That is right. Suddenly.

Another family car has come to my house. That is here.

Don! paint!

Mercedes E200! !!

No, what happened? That's right ^^

I am also surprised. Suddenly too.

When I was having a conversation with my family that had nothing to do with looking for a family car, I suddenly heard a story saying, "By the way, that Benz hasn't been used recently, right?"

"That Benz" is this E200.

This car was in my husband's parents' house.

Recently, this car has rarely been used, and it's a pity that it's been parked all the time. Isn't it? "

Of course, this car doesn't mean that the back seats are ridiculously wide.

But at least the central part of the back seat is not raised and the feet are almost flat, so when three people sit side by side, this car is overwhelmingly more comfortable and easier to sit than BMW. ..

Moreover, since it is not used by anyone now, if you do not use it as it is, the car will be pitiful ... So it feels like a win-win for both the car and my home ^ ^

Future family car system of my home

That said, it's still comfortable and I'm not letting go of my favorite BMW 650i.

• BMW 650i for a little family ride in Tokyo
• Mercedes E200 for more than an hour or a little family outing
• Rent a car when traveling by car with your family farther away

I decided to go with the system!

Of course, if I could meet a good car again in the future, I would think about it at that time, but for the time being, my family car situation came to such a conclusion ^ ^

Mercedes E200. The screen is big and beautiful and very easy to see.

It's a world unknown to me, as there are various driver assist functions such as parking and a view from above.

And it is futuristic that this ambient light, which is not in my Porsche, emerges in the car at night.

And one here.

To be honest, I'm not really good at Mercedes. I'm sorry for those who like it ... I think it's nice and I know it's a good car.

Just for my own personal reasons, the ride quality is too soft for me, or I get drunk when I'm not careful.

The soft ride with a sense of luxury doesn't seem to suit me. * To the last, my constitution, or just because I am strange, Mercedes itself is a very good car, so don't get me wrong ^^! !!

For that reason, I wonder if I would get a Mercedes as my car.

However, it is a very good car that is a waste as a family car that I use occasionally like this, and I am really really grateful ^ ^

The children who found out that the color of the ambient light could be changed in various ways enjoyed saying, "Make it xx color!"

The child says "pink!", So when I tried to make it pink (it looks a little purple in the photo), the whole car looks a little unpleasant. Hmmm (laughs).

The audio system is Blumester + layered sound system

The speaker is Blumester.

In addition to the 13 speakers, it seems that it has a layered sound system as an additional option.

I'm not sure, but the sound seems to be good, so I'd like to listen carefully next time.

The Mercedes E200, which will be a family car, is a new addition to my home (although it is borrowed from my parents' home ^^).

I think there will be opportunities to use it from now on, so I'm looking forward to a new experience.

And finally there is one problem. that is…

"No, now that the family car problem has been resolved, the next time you buy a car, you don't have to think that you have to ride five people."

And the couple are happy (laughs).

Well, what car to buy next is always fun with half a delusion ^ ^
