Porsche minivan

If you ve ever seen one of these on the street and wondered what it is, here s your answer: It s the VPG MV-1. If it seems a bit odd to you, that s because it is. I still remember the first time I saw a VPG MV-1. I was working for Porsche at the time, and someone sent us a picture of Jerry Seinfeld standing on a Manhattan street next to his new 911 GT3, GT3 RS or some other highly cool new Porsche that he had customized in some highly cool Jerry Seinfeld way. And there, in back …

Compare minivans Canada

Crossover SUVs have largely killed off the once-popular minivan as Canada’s go-to family hauler – though thousands of shoppers still prefer the overwhelming value of a minivan when it comes to moving their families, their things and their pets around on the cheap. Car-like maneuverability and ride quality, huge space for the money and plenty of flexibility make the minivan a machine that’s ready for virtually anything. Today, numerous affordable used minivan options exist – so …

Minivan VS SUV cargo space

As fuel prices soar, many consumers are reevaluating their choice of family hauler. Sure, we hear stories about people trading a Chevy Suburban for a Toyota Prius, but if they can manage that, they didn t really need the large SUV in the first place. What about those of us with growing families who really need three rows of seating? What are we to do? Minivans became an instant hit with families when they were invented by Chrysler in the 80s. At some point they began a slow decline …

8 Passenger minivan models

When it comes to moving as many people as possible—short of a bus—it’s pretty hard to beat a Van. While only three of the current crop of car-based minivans qualifies as one of the best eight passenger vans, the traditional models fill in the gaps nicely. Of course with those, you’ll forego many of the de rigueur comfort and convenience amenities lavished upon occupants by the contemporary minivan, but what you give up in plush, you more than make up for in passenger capacity …

Weight of minivan

As anyone who’s ever experienced the consequences of an overstuffed grocery bag can attest, it’s not always a good idea to cram more stuff in just because you think it will fit. The same thing holds true with cars, although chances are that load capacity isn’t very high on most buyer’s list of priorities when choosing a new model. That’s a shame, as that capacity may be even lower than you think. The truth is that many new family sedans, SUVs, compacts, and subcompact models are …

Ford Freestar minivan

Until 2003, the Honda Odyssey was the minivan to beat. Today, with the arrival of the redesigned 04 Toyota Sienna and Nissan Quest, the champion is no longer clear. The playing field has widened considerably, and Ford is the latest automaker to submit an updated entry. Last redesigned in 1, the Ford Windstar lacked many of the features consumers now consider necessary when shopping for a minivan. Does it have fold-flat seats, or cumbersome removable benches? Does it have more …

Are minivans safer than SUVs

GIF About once a month someone says to me, Now that I have kids, I think I need a minivan, but I really don t want a minivan. What should I buy? Early in my career my answer was, Well, you should probably buy a minivan. Most folks don t like this answer, but more often than not it s true. Many times when I have recommended minivans, the result was a nasty look and a potential client that has become a lost client. Now I when I get the question, I run off the normal bevy …

Smallest minivan

The best small minivan for 2017 might not be a minivan at all. Consider instead a select group of compact- and midsize-class crossover SUVs that offer three seating rows, good cargo space, and tidy exterior dimensions. They’re the 2017 Dodge Journey, GMC Acadia, Mitsubishi Outlander, and Nissan Rogue. With an average overall length of more than 16.5 feet, a traditional minivan such as the Chrysler Pacifica, Honda Odyssey, or Toyota Sienna is not that “mini.” By contrast, the 2017 …

Ford Transit Connect minivan

We sampled a short-wheelbase, five-passenger wagon with the optional 178-hp, 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine and a long-wheelbase, seven-passenger model powered by its only engine, the 169-hp, 2.5-liter four-cylinder. Even with three aboard, the short-wheelbase EcoBoost model felt the friskiest—no surprise there—with some turbo lag but sufficient scoot once the turbo rush kicked in. The 2.5, for its part, didn’t seem to lack power under our benign driving regimen, but …
