[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe this belongs in the car forum but it's more of a finance question. We have three kids under four and need a new car. Obvious answer is a minivan but we're worried we'll hate it. I've always driven cars for 8-10 years so I want to be really sure before we buy it, but there's no way to know. If we buy one and end up hating it and wanting to switch, how terrible is it financially to trade it in in two years? We will be paying cash for it. Thanks.[/quote]

Don't knock it until you try it.  I was like you about 20 years ago.  Test drove a Honda minivan and found that it handled better than the car I was driving at that time.  18 years later, I'm still driving that van with about 180K miles on it. It's been on road trips from Montreal to New Orleans and many, many more..  Every few years, I look for a replacement but nothing comes close.  Can't beat the combination of size (small enough to fit inside my garage), reliability, trunk space, and seating space of my minivan.  Still waiting to find a true replacement.  SUVs that can meet all my requirements are monstrous and don't really have a good third row seat.[/quote]
