2012 Chevrolet Orlando Review

Derek Kreindler

Don’t want a full-size minivan, but need more space? Don’t want to spend big bucks on an SUV, or pay for the gas? The solution: the Chevy Orlando. Or at least it would be if you lived in Canada.

2011 Nissan Quest LE Review

Colum Wood

The Quest might not be the innovation leader in the minivan segment, but that’s not to say it doesn’t have some excellent features. And in top-level LE trim it’s arguably it the most attractive for those who need family utility, but want a luxurious package.

2012 Nissan NV Review

Huw Evans

Nissan bets there’s still life in the full-size van market and has built a commercial vehicle to take on the archaic domestic offerings and quirky European ones.

2011 Chrysler Town & Country Review

Mark Atkinson

A significant upgrade, the 2011 version of Chrysler’s Town & Country minivan also gets a price hike to match. But considering this car’s reputation and its Japanese competition, is Chrysler being too confident?

2011 Nissan Quest Review

Colum Wood

It might not be as innovative as some rivals, but the Quest gets the basics right and offers a few new tricks. Plus, it’s got no shortage of style.

2012 Mazda5 Review

Colum Wood 3

Despite being an all-new model, the 2012 Mazda5 doesn’t get any big changes. Luckily for Mazda they don’t have to try too hard, as the 5 is all alone in the mini-minivan segment. Still, that doesn’t change the fact that it’s one of the best examples of practicality, style and price on the market.

2011 Ford Flex Titanium Review

Ken Glassman

With Toyota offering both luxury and sport versions of Swagger Wagon Sienna minivan and GMC announcing a high-end Acadia Denali crossover, Ford wades in with a unique interpretation of its Flex for those with a need to be unique and the cash to spare.

2011 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite Review [Video]

Colum Wood 1

Forget the initial impressions of a ‘first drive’, the only true way to tell a minivan’s worth is to live with it, and we do just that taking the Honda Odyssey for a family trip, making use of every last feature it has to offer.

2011 Dodge Grand Caravan Review

Mark Atkinson

Thanks to an updated design, revamped interior, upgraded suspension and powerful new V6 engine, Dodge’s minivan is more than just an attractively priced alternative to better products.

2011 Scion xD Review

Mark Atkinson

Over the past few years the sub-compact segment has exploded with new vehicles like the Ford Fiesta and Mazda2. Long before those cars, Scion was early to the game with the xD, but without a major refresh, this econo-box is looking particularly square.

2011 Toyota Sienna SE Review

Mike Speck

With its Swagger Wagon style that’s sure to appeal more to the emotional side of buyers, the new 2011 Toyota Sienna SE isn’t without its flaws, with a stiff ride and noticeable cost-saving measures.

2010 Honda Odyssey

Bob Plunkett

Getting near the end of its run, this generation of the Odyssey continues to offer space, fuel-economy, a versatile seat layout, as well as Honda’s reputation for reliability and durability.

2009 Nissan Quest

Eric Eikenberry

With its supermodel good looks… Just kidding! The Nissan Quest has a lot of attractive features, even if the package it’s wrapped in isn’t all that appealing.

2009 Mazda Mazda5

Colum Wood

The second generation of Mazda’s car-like mini minivan gets a new look and added features and in an age where the minivan has grown to school bus-sized proportions (with an equally large MSRP and thirst for fuel), downsizing has never been such a good idea.
