RP: minivans

I posted this last night and figured I'd repost for the day crew

 

We started the process to adopt our third (and final) child, and well,that means we will be moving to a minivan!  So we have narrowed our search to the Honda Odyssey, Kia Sedona and the Toyota Sienna.

 Do you have one of these?  If so, can you tell me what the pros and cons of your car are?

 Thanks!

We bought a 2005 Honday Odyssey this spring and we love it.  Pros: I love the look of it, inside and out.  It certainly doesn't feel like a utility van, which I felt about some we looked at.  I love the heated seats, leather, DVD, power side doors, 6 CD changer and comfortable seats.  Cons: Lordy these vans are expensive!!  I'd definitely buy used.  We went with the Honda because they are so highly rated and apparently last forever.  Good luck!

*Lu-Lu*

We also have an Odyssey.  We bought a certified used 2006 EX-L model.  We got it last March.

I really love it!  My husband pretends to hate it, but it's just because it's a minivan.  We have the dvd player, heated seats, 6 disc in-dash cd player, gps/nav in-dash, auto-sliding doors. 

Like pp mentioned, I would definitely look into used.  I have pretty much vowed to never buy a new car again.  They depreciate way too much once you drive them off the lot!

I really don't have any cons other than it is a van.... which isn't all that cool.  But, I didn't sign up for cool when I got it! 

I would highly recommend an odyssey.
