Minivan suggestions?

DH and I are going to be looking into a new vehicle soon due to our upcoming new addition, and originally we were thinking a smaller SUV (can't swing a larger one right now). Last night he shocked the heck out of me by saying he thinks we should look at mini-vans, there's so much more room in them than some of the smaller SUVs, storage wise and passenger wise.

Anyone have any good or bad experiences with a mini-van?

We have Toyota Sienna and love it. My SIL has a Honda Odyssey and she loves hers. We looked at both, my DH did the research and they both got top marks.

I LOVE my van. I have the 2006 Kia Sedona, which was reasonably priced and got one of the highest safety ratings in comparison to other minivans in the US. It drives very well and I love the safety features.

We are in the same boat. We are looking into the Kia Sedona, Sienna, and Honda Odyssey. They are all highly rated and there is not much of a price difference. The Honda seems to be our first choice....though that Mazda shown above is pretty cool too! I'll have to check that out. Good luck.

Re: Minivan suggestions?

Thanks for all the suggestions, I will definitely check them ALL out!!!

My friend actually just got a Honda CR-V, but she test-drove that, the Pilot, and the Odyssey. She said she actually thought the Odyssey was much more spacious and definitely handled better than the others...but she didn't want a mini-van.
