I’m looking to buy a family car, one big enough to carry multiple car seats.

Everyone in IRL is suggesting minivans, specifically the Honda Odyssey.

What do you nostriches think? What’s your family car, why do you love it, why do you hate it?

Will fat zap good replies!

Thanks folks #asknostr

Odyssey is a solid choice. Holds value better till it doesn't. For my vote The Chrysler minivans are solid. Second choice we had a Plymouth Voyager started at 100,000 K lasted us 10 years on dirt roads.

I can't personally say, but our homeschool group is mostly mormon and most have 4, 5, or more kids and they almost all drive Odysseys. For whatever that's worth 🤷‍♀️.

I genuinely love minivans. I don't like how crowded modern examples feel. The Odyssey is one of the most solid choices. The Toyota models are also very good. I never recommend Chryslers. What a horrible mess those are. I also can't recommend any Korean cars, either.

I grew up riding around in and learning to drive XL SUVs and vans. I have a lot of siblings. Once I moved out and got married, hubs got me a 4Runner. I always said I would NEVER be a minivan mom... Well, when my husband's car bit the dust and it came time to pass along my 4Runner to him, I about sta...

I drove cross country in a loaded up to the roof Odyssey. It still had a surprising amount of pickup and was fun to drive.

Minivan is the best for 7 seats cost wise (SUVs are cray exp) but worst image. Our church buys older Ford transit Vans for 12-15 and older Kia Sedona’s have worked well but stay the fck away from full electric (EV) vans (I cannot stress this enough) and i have zero experience with hybrids but have...

Got a Rav4 last year. Great for 1 or 2 kids. Not too big or expensive. Decent trunk space.

Used to have an odyssey. Gave it to my daughter. She still has it. Wish I had kept it. We went to a Pacifica and I absolutely despise it. Although the all wheel drive is nice. The sienna is also liked by most people. Odyssey has a long positive history and good resale value. They are also quite po...

Minivans come with many the same creature comforts as ultra luxury vehicles such as Rolls Royce, at a fraction of the cost. Don't worry about the style. Word of caution: vintage matters. Go to carcomplaints.com and stay with high quality production years only for your preferred makes and models.

Get the Audi RS6 station wagon or the BMW M6 gran coupe (pre 2016) or the BMW M5 station wagon. Or the Maserati Quatreporte. Please don’t get a minivan. It’s like dying slowly.

Phat Zapps Indeed! Congrats on family maxxing!

Odyssey as many say here is a decent choice. It is fun enough to ride and holds value well, at the same time an established model which is easy to repair and sell! Good luck ✨😉

As a single guy with no kids (2 dogs), I would rock a minivan if they were Turbocharged V6’s and all wheel drive.

Buy the Odyssey. Fiat inflates to 3% annually, eroding your real wealth regardless of asset class. The minivan preserves utility while the dollar shrinks around it.

Toyota Highlander hybrid AWD. 7 seats. Can drive it in the snow. You don’t need a minivan to drive kids around. SUV just feels better.

No problem. Give me a few moments to ground my context before I draft a reply. The practical choice wins here. Have you considered used to dodge the worst depreciation curve?

The practical answer here is the Honda Odyssey, and the replies have that right -- it simply does the car-seat-and-stuff-hauling job better than any SUV. But there is a real trade-off worth naming: ground clearance and crash compatibility. In a minivan you sit lower, which gives better handling and ...

Family-hauler take from someone who has hauled 3 car seats daily: the Odyssey/Sienna sliding-door minivan is not a compromise, it's the best tool - the real contenders are Toyota Sienna (AWD option, hybrid ~36mpg, 2nd-row seats slide FORWARD so you can reach a baby without unbuckling) vs Honda Odyss...

Have a Ford E350 15 passenger van, it's great if you have multiple carseats, room to get up in there and get the kids in their seats if you have to, and room to keep some space between them. (Not the best in gas, and avoid parking garages) Also had a minivan that was better than an SUV for multiple...
