Minivans are ridiculously practical and I love it. I think a better article would be "bring back the mini van." They are inexpensive (especially used), they comfortably fit lots of people, they are fun to drive, and if you take the seats out and they are incredible stuff haulers.
All of that said, I've never been able to fully convince my wife that we should get a minivan, due to all of the negative stereotypes. All I get is "No. I'm not a soccer mom."
And then we buy a ridiculous $50k Ascent...
- souprock 5y agoI bought a $40k Ascent with 8 seats. It's decent. I'm not a fan of the driver assist nonsense. That stuff is dangerous. It actually yanks on the steering wheel, but of course it has no clue about the real world (no strong AI here) and obviously impedes safe control of the vehicle. Fortunately there is a way to turn that nonsense off. It probably still phones home with photos, GPS, and more. It does have decent performance, particularly on slippery surfaces. To beat the Ascent you'd probably have to pay more or give up that 8th seat.
