Mini vans are all the same to me. I personally think how could you go wrong with any of them? Freeing up our family had a toyota priva and it was such a classic mini for the 90s. It was ahead of its time because the middle seats could reverse and face the back of the car and I loved that feature but I will say the better trade off nowadays is having seats that fold in that was a breakthrough. The Toyota sienna was the next one after the priva I suppose, but it wasn’t as good and looked pretty ugly. That’s when they started the automatic sliding door thing, which is a great invention there’s too many times does the kid I slammed my hand on the slamming door and that shit hurt.

My mom had a Sienna growing up. The automatic door was definitely nice

I won't touch any of the junk made by Chrysler.

Kia is decent and you get lots of car for less money upfront, the downsides are the fuel consumption is higher and it doesn't hold its value as well as the Toyota or Honda.

The Honda is the average one in every way. Nothing special about it and nothing fantastic about it either.

The Toyota is good in most ways except the design is fairly bland and boring. The good part of it is the fuel consumption is very good thanks to being a hybrid, available as an AWD and while you will pay more upfront it tends to keep its value better.

When we were looking for a minivan, we looked at these 3 but in the end bought a Chevy Suburban.

Hands down, the current Toyota Sienna is the most reliable minivan ever made.

Not far behind is Honda's Odyssey.

partners parents used to have a honda odyssey. it was really good.

Toyota all the way. Honda Odysseys have weak automatic transmissions and regular parts usually cost more than Toyotas; Kias (and parent company Hyundai) have horrible engine materials and designs that lead to premature wear or failure; and (sadly) Chryslers/Dodges tend to have transmission, electronics, steering, suspension and brake issues. On average, Toyota has the fewest major issues of all of them.

Although, if you lease, it won't be as much of an issue because it'll be under warrantee and you won't have the car for very long before trading it in. However, if you do have issues within the lease period it's still a hassle to have to deal with taking a problematic car to the dealer to get it fixed, even if it is under warrantee. For longterm ownership, I'd go Toyota all the way.

Go with the Toyota.

I gibe a slight edge to the Hoinda Odyssey over the Toyota Sienna, though they are almost identical vehicles. The Honda can last a bit longer... 300 thousand mile is not uncommon.

The Dodge Caravan was the first minivan ever, many years ago, and it hasn't kept up with the times. Chrysler nakes excellent cars, not vans, and Kia is an inexpensive copy of the others from Korea.

I have seen the Toyota and Kia in real. Not the others. From what I saw, Toyota seems like ahulk beast. Kia Carnival seems like a weak car.

Maybe because of its build quality in India. Toyota are amazing build.

[abc3643]

The Kia EV9 coming out soon.

[Ben487]

Probably the Toyota or Honda. Dodge make garbage and Chrysler is even worse. A Kia might be okay.

[Pudsmucker]

I've been reading quite a bit about the Kia minivan. Quite economical to operate.
