I've yet to hear anyone regret getting a minivan over an SUV for hauling kids.

I had to rent a minivan recently because 6 of us had to road trip about 3,000 miles total.

It was easily the best, smoothest riding road trip I've ever taken. It was so easy loading and unloading. Very comfortable. I would have bought a minivan just after that trip if I had a use for one on a full time basis.

Right. Listen to the people who actually have them. They are super functional for families. Again they are purpose built for this. Vans are infinitely more practical than crossovers which look really close to vans anyways, just much less practical.

And unless someone frequently uses higher tow capacity/ground clearance, it makes a lot more sense to save the $15-20k and get a van over a suburban. People may question your "man card" or say you have given up on life if you get a minimvan just like in here, but just be an adult and make the best decision for your family (cheaper and more functional in almost every way)

The wife has a 2007 Honda Odyssey with 180,000 miles on it. I bought that thing new for $24,995. She dogs the shite out it. Countless trips to Disney, Smokey Mountains and Florida beaches. I asked her every year after it turned 100,000 miles if she's ready for a Tahoe or Yukon . The answer is always Hell No, she loves her van.
