Reply #24: I had a minivan for about a year and hated it.

Visibility was very poor, it drove like a tank, and there was a lot of wasted space between seats. Mine had terrible mileage; I would have liked it better if that weren't the case.

I now have a ten-yr-old volvo station wagon, and it's perfect for our family of four. All our crap fits in it -- groceries, loads of mulch, friends -- and it drives like a regular car. :loveya:
