Tell me the best minivan for your money and why!

Note: I don’t care about rear entertainment screens.

I’ve test drove a Sienna and multiple Odesseys and Pacificas. I drove one Kia Carnival and fell in love with it!

But my question is…

1. Are Kias still bad?

2. Does anyone know about their long term reliability? Carnivals are relatively new. So does any have good or bad experiences long term with one?

Any advice is helpful!

Reddit hates Pacificas but everyone I talk to in person says they like theirs.

Please tell me your own personal experience with your Pacifica. The good and bad!

Alright everyone, tell me which you like better and why!

Odysseys are cheaper so that’s probably what I will purchase but I’m curious to hear all the good and bad about Odysseys and Siennas.

TIA!

Hello! I’m trying to buy a used minivan ( looking at all kinds) and I can’t get dealerships to negotiate the way I could in the past.

Does anyone have any tips?

So I have not test drove an Odyssey yet. My husband is pushing for us to get an Odyssey due to their amazing reliability reputation. To me though, they look too big. Do they feel big to drive? I currently have a base model 2015 Ford Explorer. I’d like my next vehicle ( a minivan) to be really smooth and super comfortable.

How do you feel driving an Odyssey?

Hi. What are the big differences in the trim levels for the Odyssey?

Are the better trims quieter? Stereo/speakers better?

Just wondering if the more expensive trims are worth the price increase.

Thinking of purchasing a 2021 AWD Limited. It has a great Carfax.

I’ve read here on Reddit somewhere people were complaining about the AWD Pacificas. Does anyone have personal experience with this? I’d prefer to have AWD. I live in northern Indiana… not mountainous but we get our far share of lots of snow.

Help! I’m the market for a gently used minivan.

Tell me all the great and not so great things about the Odyssey! Everyone seems obsessed with them. I need to understand the hype. I test drove one and didn’t love it but would definitely give a different one a chance.

What do you love about it? What do you hate? Are some years more prone to problems?

I’m in the market for a minivan. I planned on getting a lightly used Pacifica but it seems everyone is talking me out of it. Online says Siennas are the best.

Any and all advice is welcome!

Hello! Which minivan do you feel is the smoothest to drive? I’m currently driving an very old Dodge Caravan and it feels like it drives like a truck. I’d like my next vehicle ( which needs to be another minivan) to be a more enjoyable, smoother ride.

Hi! I have a 14 year old ( that’s 6’2”) and a 4 year old and 2 year old. Currently have a Ford Explorer that’s horrible for using the 3rd row. Thinking of going the minivan route.

Which is the best for consistency using the 3rd row??
