I have had a 2007 Odyssey a 2010 caravan a 2011 town and country and a 2012 Routan. All bought used. The Routan went to the dump when the tranny dumped at 150k. The 2011 t and c was constantly throwing codes and crazy shifting tranny. My 2007 Odyssey had 221k and was a solid van still EXCEPT for the damn cylinder deactivation. Which is still used today! Burns oil and kills motor mounts. My 2010 caravan with the old 3.8 pushrods v6 was the best and since it was not over powering the 6 spd auto always stayed in check. Soooooo the winner goes too! Oh my 2001 Toyota Sienna! She only has 130k but is literally bullet proof. Driven daily and has been in my family since new!

Due to an October month end deal from VW, I just bought a 2011 Routan SE w Nav & DVD for $10K under MSRP. $25570 brand new. VW gives 3 yrs free maintenance also. No competitors can touch this deal with these features. I drove all the vans and Routan is easily the best handling with the beefier VW suspension components, and higher performance tires than the Chrysler & Dodge. No body roll or tire squeals at speed, honestly fun to drive.

@chrysleristhebest1 people buying a minivan should take a look at the price of regular maintenance, as well as the demands of the warranty in terms of said maintenance. Some people may not be prepared for the cost of regular scheduled maintenance. Some manufacturers reliability is due to the maintenance schedule which forces owners to conform to replace parts before they fail, with maintenance like this you'll get miles out of any make. I've heard of GM minivans with half a million KMs on them.

If we're being realistic about what the average family can actually afford in a family hauler, the Grand Caravan is the realistic winner as far as value for money. Odyssey and Sienna are not realistic options for average families when they come with luxury vehicle pricetags. Just look at how many Grand Caravans are on the road.

Prospective buyers should know about maintenance costs and warranty demands of regular scheduled maintenance. Some manufacturers will void your warranty if you do not follow their scheduled maintenance, which utilizes a "replace before failure" philosophy. This schedule, if followed on other manufacturers, can show that all these vans are essentially the same in terms of quality. The price of the maintenance, however, can differ, check with dealers before purchase.

I actually like the Sienna a lot, but compared to this $10K off MSRP deal it would cost $13K more real dollars to buy the comparably equipped XLE. Sorry folks, but in terms of ownership cost, you just are not gonna recoup $13K over the life of the car. The actual sell-for price difference (not the MSRP) prices the Sienna Quest and Odyssey at a serious premium to the Dodge, Chrysler and Routan. Also, the Stow & Go seats are uncomfortable for adults, Routan has comfy 2nd row capt chairs.
