Minivan vs SUV

[charleswagenseil]

Most families who buy SUVs are really looking for a minivan. 3rd row comfort, cargo space, practicality, reliability, etc. Who cares what others think! Embrace the American Dream and suburban family culture!

One thing you missed... go try parking both in a parking garage and see which one you buy. Too many people buy a HUGE SUV without realizing they can be quite challenging to manage as a driver. In contrast and minivan is one of the easiest vehicles to manage.

I have always wanted the answer to be SUV but vans are so much easier. If it isnt moving the family around, I can easily take all the seats oit/fold down and fit 15 sheets of 8x4 plywood in it

I put a Drum Kit, Two Basses, Amplifier, P.A System and Gig Bag and Two Drum Carts + 4 People in a 2018 Toyota Sienna!

Carnival. It's really useful for a lot of side businesses as it can double as a small work van when you take out the seats. Some contractors are getting it for this reason

Minivans are no longer the official soccer mom cars. The modern SUVs have taken that title. Personally, I’d take the minivan.

Carnival Rocks! My #1 choice. Loving it.

I've lived in snowier places than most, and most people get along just fine with a 2wd car. A minivan with snow tires is better in snow than an SUV on all seasons anyway... The type of vehicle doesn't really matter compared to tires and driver experience. And some minivans are awd

Just rented 2 Pacifica minivans in Maine! Such smooth driving and great cabs! Highly recommend ( and I’ve owned 4Surburbans, and 1 expedition )

Almost pulled the trigger on an Odyssey (because of your review). Then you bought a Carnival. So I bought a Carnival.

My kids grew up riding our 2007 Odyssey and its still going strong more appropriate for a family. Never understood why "soccer Mom's" were embarrassed to be seen as soccer Mom's.

Can you do a video of the expedition max vs carnival? That would be helpful❤

I’m driving my second Yukon xl. The first I sold when I reached 260, 000 plus miles. I’m a nurse and have to get to work in icy/ snow conditions. The 4 wheel drive handles great even on the hills I have to drive on

I had a 2013 Town and County 5 or 6 yrs ago. Traded for a Tahoe. The 3rd row with a bench was awful for my teens. The Traverse I just got feels so much like that minivan on the inside that I have went for the door handle on the left side so many times 😂 it has almost just as much room as that van and so easy to clean up with the leather seats and Weather Tech mats 🙌 enjoying the better gas mileage too 18(Tahoe) Vs 23(Traverse). Also impressed with the AWD! Had to drive uphill on a muddy/grassy graveyard road this morning and it done great! Looking frd to seeing how it handles snow this winter.

Best youtube channel I've ever stumbled upon!

I have an Odyssey and kids under 9. Love it for the practicality but our driveway is rough and for a few weeks every winter I'm stuck at home in it

[BigStitch]

I would love a Yukon XL being I’m 6’7” but I can’t justify spending double the price of a Sienna for the cool factor.

[paulamorris]

We bought a Carnival this year and sold our expedition max. Just cant beat KIA's warranty. We have four kiddos and the van works great

With no doubts Minivans are the ultimate people haul, even more ultimate if you have little ones. But their performance is where they lose their appeal to SUVs (in my opinion).
If you have to worry about Terrain and weather than SUVs makes more sense. I own a minivan and also live where occasionally snows, so far even with some tricky weather my van did fine and isn’t awd. To this moment, considering our stage of life with 2 little ones minivan has been pretty cool. Can’t say how many times the sliding doors were life saving hahah. Or Having in laws and my parents visiting at same time and being able to take everyone in the same car to go out is pretty fun! 6 adults and 2 kids (in car seats) with a double stroller in the back and rooms for more junk! Hahah can’t beat that 😂
