The best part about mini van's is it's actually an affordable place to live.

Scotty is the only guy that can get me this excited about a minivan

[vinomore]

If you are a parent of small children you are no longer cool - and that is OK. Buy a minivan and stop reaching for "SUV coolness". Once you stop trying to be cool you will finally be free (and therefore actually cool).

Mini-Vans are all function over form. I’m a proud owner of a ‘22 Odyssey and that thing is an absolute game changer. 500 miles to the tank on the highway, comfortable interior, loads of hauling space, and best of all SLIDING DOORS.

[nathankirk]

I was never opposed mini-vans to begin with, but what really sold me on them was when we moved 20 or so 4x6' heavy mirrors, and did it in my in-law's Sienna. My Father in law was explaining how they designed the space to fit plywood sheets comfortably and it made me rethink when I would ever need a truck over the many uses of a minivan.

Got 3 Toyota Siennas. One for work as a mobile mechanic, 2 for family. Can't beat em! I try to tell people minivans are where it's at, but they don't listen. Too caught up in what the market tells them.

After owning all sorts of cars and trucks for 45 years, I finally bought a minivan (2015 Transit Connect). I used to think if you owned a house, you needed a pickup truck. I now think a minivan is a better choice. I agree with Scotty on this one.

[GammonMaster-PcP]

Proud owner of Honda odyssey. My Mobile Man Cave! Took all the seats out and can haul, camp, cruise anywhere with tons of space. Lots of quickness and drives like a luxury car. Never owning anything else now 👌

[JessieStolar]

Finally someone is talking about this. You can also sleep in a van very easily. I can fit a double mattress with lots of extra space. Love my mini van

[sonyablade]

Just bought the Honda 2024 Odyssey Sport. I've got grown kids and grand kids. Never thought I'd WANT or heaven forbid OWN a minivan~! Guess what? I FRIGGIN' LOVE THIS MINIVAN! 😍

[banstaman]

For those with a family, you simply cannot beat a minivan when it comes to getting car seats in and out and how flexible the interiors are-making it easy to clean the inevitable mess your kids will make. Also you get more space in the same footprint of an SUV or smaller.

I’m currently on my 5th Chrysler mini van. The current version, a 2017 Pacifica, has 99, 000 miles. Total cost of repairs so far $0.00. The previous van was a 2006 Grand Caravan. It’s currently owned by my son and has 305, 000 miles. Yeah, it burns a quart of oil every 2000 miles. It’s gonna happen with that many miles. I religiously change the engine oil & filter every 5000 miles. I change the transmission oil every 50, 000 miles. Oil is cheap, engines and transmissions are expensive.

[corujariousa]

Minivans are looked down by all who focus on looks and style. It is all about image and the need to be cool. Anyone who has owned a minivan can attest how useful and versatile they are. They can fit more cargo than many trucks (when height dimensions are not an issue) and carry all protected from the elements. Odyssey and Sienna are top sellers for very good reasons. I no longer need such a large vehicle but I still miss the flexibility and appreciate all the benefits I used to have with the minivans I had.

The kids are grown, but I’m on my 3rd Chrysler minivan, and still loving the Stow N Go. So much space for family road trips, buying furniture, mattresses, full sheets of plywood, etc. Love my van.

[stantonroyce]

Queen size 3-in memory foam mattress in the back of my 2008 with middle row seats removed and still have space behind the front seats for gear! Plus you can still pile stuff on top of the mattress when you're not using it for road trips or camping. Carry three more people by folding the mattress forward and popping up the back seats. Still a 5 passenger vehicle with cargo space and a 3-in queen size memory foam batteries‼️ So very versatile. Made drapes from cheap Costco sheets using safety pins and pointy curtain hooks. Tie some nylon cord above all the rear windows and behind the front seats, and now you have removable curtains for privacy, installed and removed in about 5 minutes or less.

25 years in the US: dodge caravan and then Sienna, there is nothing better hands down. Kids, family, home repairs, shopping, camping, outdoors, biking sailing etc. You can travel and sleep in it. They induce peaceful driving and thus last a long time.

I'm a single middle aged man and thinking about getting a mini van for my next vehicle because they're so practical.

[Stevethedoglover]

I love minivans! People spend way too much on 3 row suv's when they can just get more of a practical vehicle. To be honest i think that minivans are cooler than suv's because most people buy an suv over a minivan because they want to look "cool" but people who buy minivans don't care if their cool or not so buying a minivan just shows that you don't care what other people think of you.

We recently bought used 2021 chrysler voyager,
It has everything we need and nothing we don't.
Beautiful leather interior design,
Stow and go seat.
2nd and 3rd row can go completely flat,
287 hp
Gas mileage 28 highway and 19 in the city and it is actually more powerful than our Mitsubishi outlander 😅😅😂
I'm only 39 and i absolutely love everything about minivan and i wish I'd bought it sooner.
I think minivans are so underrated😊
