We are a military family and therefore are in the car a lot traveling home to family for visits. We needed a vehicle that was affordable and roomy. This has been a great mini van as it fit both of those. It is stylish with leather but not at the high end of the budget, so we got the upgrades we wanted for the stylish look without the price. The automatic doors are probably my favorite part of it as I have little ones, and it makes life easier. I love how roomy it is for their bulky car seats, so there's still plenty of leg room and room to get around them if needing to go to the back. Overall, it's been a great minivan, and I would buy another one day for sure.

The Volkswagen Routan is a well-built minivan with an edge. The Volkswagen detailing makes it seem more stylish than your average minivan, but it is essentially the body of a Chrysler Town & Country with VW upgrades. It has a V6 so is fast when needed, and the handling is what you would expect from Volkswagen.
