Well, Chrysler is miles away from phasing out their federal tax credit, so you might start planning to have a high tax year next year if you want to max that credit.
If I have just 1 more kid, I think a minivan will look pretty appealing.

So maybe the reliability won't be terrible?

I have a couple of friends that are harsh on transmissions because they treat the accelerator like an on/off switch even when steady state highway cruising (my working theory at least). One friend has gone through at least 5 transmissions that I know of.
When one of my friends asked for help finding a car, my assumption was that one of these eCVTs based on the Toyota design might be more robust than traditional transmissions. I helped them purchase a C-Max, which is based on the same design. We'll see how it holds up.
