Ok, the wife (yeah, I'll blame her) wants to look at minivans. 'Fess up - who out there has one, what kind, and what do you think of it? We already have the thirsty Tahoe (love it), so stick to minis'. idea

Mife wife has had a Kia Sedona for almost two years and it's worked very well. Not to mention the 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty.
We are in the market for an Expedition. If you are really looking, let me know...we might be selling soon.

That's the direction I want Mrs. Waldo to go...Bigger and lifted! Nice ride.

I'm REAL lucky! The wife wouldn't be caught dead in one. They are nothing more than a newer version of a station wagon IMO. :)
By a full sized sport ute. You can carry the same amount of passengers, have off-road capabilities, and the ability to tow something larger then a lawn mower trailer. Buy the Mini-Van and you have something you can only do one of the above with.

We had a94 Aerostar for 6 years , no problems but a heater core . If you get a minivan get the extended wheelbase . The thing could carry so much more than normal ones . Finally sold it to the first person that looked at it & got a burb.

My wife has a 2000 Astro van with the 4300 vortec V6 that we use to tow the boat in my avatar to the river. It's a 23' Caliber 1 and it tows like a champ! If you plan on towing with it, the Astro/Safari is the only way to go. If you're using it as a soccer-mom kid hauler, look elsewhere.
