I drive a Tahoe, and the wife (no pics) drives a Sienna. We have three teenagers, and if the family goes for a drive of any kind it is in the minivan. On vacations we take it because I can load way more into the van. Plus the gas mileage is great.

I saw a big vinyl sign advertising them yesterday. It said starting at $18,900. For a few more thousand you could pimp it out until it glowed in the dark. Huggy Bear would be begging to drive it.

For anybody interested, it was at Gator Ford on 1-4 at exit 10.

I bought three before I learned my lesson. I now own a SUV. Vans are hard to work on and I had transmission problems out of all three. I owned a Chevy, a Dodge and a Ford. They were all terrible.

Sienna with a Thule Cascade rooftop carrier has taken my family of five all over the Midwest, East and South.

I have had bad experiences with Dodge transmissions.

Reliability Toyota Sienna is the best. I just bought a Toyota Highlander but really liked the sienna better. Wife has Lexus LS460.

Because no one would buy it as it would then be a van.

You open the door and get them out, what’s the difference?
pretty big difference. You should see the dents and scuffs in my existing cars from 3-5 year olds trying to be grown ups and open the doors. Sliding door sounds amazing. But I want it on a Suburban bro.
