There's different makes out there.. Most popular being Honda Odyssey, Kia Sedona, Nissan Quest, Toyota Sienna .. maybe Dodge . Which one should we get? Looking to keep forever.. so a reliable one that will last us a long time. Any feedback on this? Thanks

PS: We're gonna buy used. Also, where to buy? Anyone have good experience at a particular dealer? 

We had a Sienna as a rental during some tune ups we were having done at toyota... i do have to say, it's very roomy. My husband, the king of not wanting to look like a chick, even said he'd consider having one. He also tried to convince himself it wasn't a minivan though ;D hahah 

We are in the same boat. I think we'll end up going with a Dodge Caravan, I've had one before and it was reliable. The Kia has a great warranty. I would love a Honda, Nissan, or Toyota but they are just too pricey for us right now. 

We've got a Dodge Caravan.. love it.. tons of room and i feel safe in it. We had a Chrysler Town & Country before this one and it protected us really well in a bad accident a year and a half ago. 

I just bought a Dodge Journey and the salesman tried to sell me a Caravan insead! Its really not much different tho but probably a little better on gas and a bit more room. 

Nissan Quest

I'm not a fan of this one. We just saw them this past week and didn't like it much.

Right now Torrey Nissan has $0 down paymnt. and will pay off your lease/loan if you have one OR try and give you a better deal. There is also something else but I can't remember. You can also try Palm Springs Nissan.


Dodge Caravan..

I like this one too. Worth the money. 

I have a 2011 Sienna. Great van and gets good gas mileage. I drove a Toyota van in Okinawa for 3 years never had any problems and when I bought it it was already 11 years old. I think you should test drive them all then choose 

the door sensors on the sienna suck. I was sandwiched in and even then the door didn't retract. I am not happy with mine and cant wait to trade it in. sorry I don't know if anyone else has had this problem or not. 

I have a Town and Country I LOVE. The interior is very nice and I just can't stop talking about how much I love it!
