The mini van is big, endless leg and arm room. Seats 8 and we have put that to the test for wine tours, the seats fold down or come out so I can fit 8 foot lumber in the back or 10 foot lumber if I slide it under the front seats, ride is amazing, gas mileage could be better I'm only seeing about 16 city but 24 highway. It has 4 disc brakes so the rims and brakes are easy to clean. It looks better than competing mini vans. It can be a bit pricey if you don't really lay into the salesman and bargain. It has slightly less acceleration than the town and country, handles awesome, I feel very safe driving it. Blind spots are minimal and backup camera helps allot. This vehicle can fit a family of 5 with the back row folded down and we can stack an amazing amount of gear for camping. It can also tow a dolly pretty good. I have found this van to handle the same load as a ford ranger or Toyota Tacoma, Nissan frontier, while serving all of my family needs.
