Bigger car...

MINIVAN Review

So, I think we're going to buy a minivan in the next 2 months. Can you believe it? So, I'm looking for ideas and suggestions about what to buy if you know of any.

Here's what we're thinking:
Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna or Nissan Quest
Year: 2007+
Price: low

Let me know if you have a favorite van (it doesn't have to be on my list) or one that you really don't like.

We have been looking for a while but I keep resisiting it because I never wanted be the "minivan mom" lol but I know my day is coming :) I have test driven all of them and for the price I really like the Chrysler Town and Country. Especially if your looking used you'll get them the cheapest for the lowest miles. If I could go new I would get the wolkswagon rouge I LOVE the feel and look of everything. Good luck!

Though I'm not much help but wish I was, I'm still really excited for you! I know my friends in Taiwan all really like the Honda Odyssey. It seemed pretty sweet the times I rode in them! :) Lots and lots of great features--especially for moms.

We had a nissan quest and it was a great van. It actually keeps on running. We sold it to my brother before we moved and it keeps on running and we have had very few repairs on it. My brother swears by the Toyota Sienna though. He won't go to any other van. So there is my input. Hope that helps

Everyone I know has a Honda Odyssey, us included, and I think we have a 2007. I don't remember what we paid, but I could find out if you want a price range. No complaints so far, and we've taken it on some long, long road trips. My brother has one with an additional seat that swings up between the two middle captain chairs. With a third child, I really wish we had that extra seat. Love the house too! I need to call and get more info on all that is going on!

Yes, a minivan. The car you will hate to love. I know, no one WANTS a minivan until you actually own one and you realize...this thing is SOOOO practical! So, my opinion...either a Sienna or an Odyssey. We went with the Odyssey because they are easier to find for 8 passengers. An 8 passenger was a deal breaker for us. So, there you have it...oh, and another deal breaker--NO BLUE. All the Siennas we could find that were 8 passenger were blue. Blah! Good luck!
