Hey guys. Looking to buy a minivan for my wife and I. I know it's not terribly popular on this page, but surely there are some of you out there living that minivan life.
Mainly it's just for convenience and family size. My wife's 3 kids are involved in after school activities and stuff on the weekends, so driving them around in her Elantra is getting to be a bit of a challenge. Their sports gear takes up a lot of room, so i think the cargo aspect alone is worth it.
Thoughts on the Odyssey?

best in class. if you have a low problem tolerance go for the last year of the old style. The new one is better but will have teething problems since its brand new. it also has a gay push button shifter.

This but they get real expensive real fast
If you're on a budget you can easily get a brand new Dodge Grand Caravan for like $20k, at least in Canada. That's less than $16k in America
Damn things refuse to die and those 3.6l Pentastar engines are seriously underrated

If you don't want a brand new van, the 3.3 and 3.8 in the older Caravans are good as well. Just for the love of god stay away from anything with the Mitsubishi 3.0.

This.
Try for an old Aerostar or Astro if you want something reliable.

Get a Pacifica. I drove one recently and I was shocked, it's feels like Chrysler took one of those crazy concepts from the 90's like the Atlantic when they were trying to be a luxury brand and actually built it. It's insane how much nicer it is compared to the old Town and Country vans.

Had a 94 Plymouth grand voyager. Fucking loved it.
Ferd Transit Connect wagon is one I'd suggest looking at. The venerable 2.5 ford engine, 6 speed auto trans, known for doing 250k+ miles and they start at $24k.
