[quote=Anonymous]I resisted buying a minivan, and we have 4 kids. We previously had Honda pilots and Toyota Highlanders.

We take weeklong vacations each year where we drive to a rental. Those were big pain points - getting in and out of the car at rest stops, having space for the kids to play but not fight during the drive, and room for luggage.

We rented a suburban twice - I wanted to like it, but didn’t find getting in and out very easy for the kids, and our family doesn’t regularly need the large trunk space. We tried the large infinity SUV, and we tried a minivan.

Minivan was the best experience, hands down (although I loved driving the infinity the most). We bought one. I am very happy to drive it as my main car, as it drives nicely. I feel dumb sometimes driving it to my work and parking in a downtown DC parking garage, but it’s the best fit for our family.

Rent a minivan/other car for a week and see how it works for you. Then buy what you like. But jus know that the minivan is very family friendly - I have found the features really address the needs of a family with kids. [/quote]
