This van is excellent! The gas mileage is decent and the entire family fits great for long trips. The van has a lot of flexibility with regard to the seats, so you can haul materials as well as passengers. the style of the van is very nice and exceeded my wife's expectations. The van is very easy and comfortably to drive. Additionally, the trunk space is enormous. I can fit all of the luggage for a family of 5 completely in the truck space provided behind the third row of seats.
