              One of the best cars to have as a family

              Pros - ["The longevity of the car", "The body of the car"]

              Cons - ["The mileage", "Not enough trunk space"]

              My car I have right now have been in my family for the past 13 years. It's been driven by my Father, Mother and siblings and it still rans great for having over 200,000 miles on it. It's as extremely reliable SUV and when ever it's stops running my next car will be a Mazda as well.
