Mini van Recommendations?

ZooCrewMom

So sometime later this year we are buying a van because we are barely all fitting in my Forester. Do any of you drive one? Any recommendations? I'm leaning towards the Odyssey (because of the seating options) and my DH wants the AWD Sienna. TIA!

Odyssey. A friend has one. Nice!

I don't have one and (if I an help it) will not be buying one but it seems like the Odyssey is the most popular choice and people really love it.

When we were getting married and my parents, sister and BIL came to stay with us and I had to cart everyone around, we rented a Chrysler Town&Country and it was awesome. Had lots of power, doors and trunk hatch opened with a click of a button. It was really cook to drive.

I love our Odyssey, although I have had a few quirks with each one. We had one that was totaled in an accident (we were OK). That one needed the whole gas tank replaced when it was brand new b/c of some kind of weird leak in a hose. The new replacement has a little issue with the turn signal that I need checked--it doesn't always turn off. The voice control on the phone/nav system is not great and isn't super easy to use. But, other than that, I really like it. I think it did an awesome job of keeping us safe in the accident which is obviously a priority. Also, I really liked the option to put three kids in the middle row. That was huge for me. We have been doing that all along and I like having all the kids right there and the whole back free. When #4 arrives, we'll have to switch that up. Love the automatic doors and the new feature that it opens for you if you just have the key on you. I like in parking lots that the bigger two kids can climb in while I put DD2 in and then I feel like they are "safe" in the car.

We just purchased one. Looked and test drive at all options. Ended up with Chrysler Town and Country and are very happy. Lots of awesome features that come standard. Price was great.

*lurker* you might look into the Kia Sedona too. Great safety and features and price is pretty decent. Friend loves hers!

I've been looking at them too. Gonna have to get something towards the end of the year. I have a kia soul which I love but sadly all 5 of us now and a baby won't fit.
