The van is comfortable, whether two people or eight people are riding in it. It gets decent fuel economy at 25-30 miles per gallon. The sight lines are great with no blind spots. The suspension is great, giving it a smooth ride on freeways as well as city streets. There are cup holders available for all three rows of seating making it convenient for traveling. I really enjoy being able to remove the center seat in the middle row, which gives a good separation between the car seats of my two children and allows guests to get into the third row easily. I also love that the third row of seating can fold down completely into the floor, which expands the trunk space enough to allow us to load in bikes for the whole family.
