Minivan is the right choice. Small SUVs are stupid.



If someone would let me have a sliding door on our Yukon XL, I would pay extra for that. But I want the truck chassis, up high, 4WD, the storage behind all 6 of us, etc. If we just had 2 kids, minivan would be great.

Vans are the way to go.

Sienna won’t have a spare tire and if you buy one you’ll not have a spot to put it. When the battery dies you’ll spend a lot more than you hoped to replace it.

Honda Odyssey for the win.

Hybrid has a battery and electric motor which helps the ICE on starting and idling (well, not idling so much as shutting off and on when starting again) when driving around town. Better gas mileage. Battery has a 150,000 mile warranty, so it won't be an issue in the Toyota.

ICE.. well... doesn't have the battery and electric components.

Pro: MPG is great and AWD.

They are the best looking minivan.

Cons: Sienna has less storage space than other minivans due to the batteries. The difference is about 2 large suitcases.

The hood is much higher on the Sienna and feels like driving an SUV. Caravan and Odyssey hoods drop quicker and according to my wife, are easier to drive.

The back seat system on the Odyssey > Sienna.
