Smart. I like the minivans. Can't get the wife on board for some reason. Image
It's really the most practical choice for a family.

That. But why bother?

The thing that my Mrs (the target for these cars) identified as cheap looking? Non-color matched fender trim.

This takes that to the extreme.

I had that same feeling with the Tiguan loaner, when I had to return it, It felt like I met this one girl on vacation and had to say goodbye when I return it.

Wow i'm old.

We aren't ready for one yet but the value in them is real.

From what I saw with juls sis, two kids and a doge can do fine in a larger crossover but three kids and a van is a must. Even with two kids it is easy peasy. The Odyssey she got is awesome.
Yeah, even if we only end up with two, we'll still probably minivan.

My sister just had to upgrade from their Highlander to a Sienna because with 3 kids, it just wasn't cutting it anymore. She said the Sienna has been great and wishes they'd done it sooner.

It is a jerky transmission, My GTI's DSG is smooth compared to it, and also it is the programming that does this. But sport mode solves the early shifting problem. I actually used to that very quickly, when I got my GTI back, gave a little gas, I had a holy shit movement.

I also meant in a sense that it is more comfortable, I don't have to slowdown for dips so I won't worry about scraping.

Depends on the number of kids but yes this too. Also. Minivans make for great Uber rides.

Yeah Honda has that. It's brilliant.
For the 2018, I didn't see that in the commercial, but the middle seat separation thing is pretty cool, especially when people can have easier access to 3rd row.

edit: nevermind, saw a 2014 has that too. Chrysler acts like they are introducing it as a new innovation.

I barely used that on my mk6 a couple of times, it isn't exactly a fridge isn't? I turned to a point when i can poke my finger is the one that brings out the cold right?

I have tried my water in there, it felt like it barely did anything.
