getting a minivan was one of the best decisions in my parenting life

three real rows of seats

sliding full height automatic doors

I took off one of the 2nd row seats and now the passage is enormous

i change the kid before/after daycare *inside the car* when it rains or snows outside

minivans for life

I’m sold. Don’t even have a kid, but I’m sold.

work: identity, security, domainless.

life: breath, bass, yoga, mountains, pups, elves, kendama

i literally have no idea why everyone doesn't buy minivans

they are *so* practical and as easy to drive as an suv

and in case someone subjects?

f them we go camping with a queen size mattress in the back

Psyched for the new Yota with a little higher ground clearance and 4WD

But wish they made something a lil more off-road and snow worthy for us, I think mpg is the biggest concern

We might get an AWD vw buzz tho…
So we aren’t locked in to function over form

Aspiring mad scientist,

AFAIK they don’t want to raise the height of the Sienna to get better mpg
(Air turbulence under the car)

But it gets like 30-40 mpg with the new hybrid model

Smaller hybrid SUVs (Highlander/grand highlander approach that)

Our v6 Sienna only gets 20 mpg in the city

ser mpg is most likely the same on minivans and suvs (in my case it was identical)

more offroad is delica!

but yeah, here in vancouver it rarely snows so awd isn't a necessity, i've always driven fwd here

I have an outback and my wife drives a 2wd Sienna

The outback is much more capable in snow and dirt (even tho my wife says it’s slippery, she has better snow tires, mine are more knobby all weather
But I kinda like to rip and slide on the corners…)

The 2wd sienna with good blizzacks is great in 98% conditions

My wife and I both have Subaru Outback’s and absolutely love them. Feel like a mini van is the next step up for legroom and passengers.
