No other car can make a family feel more cozy and comfortable than a large 8 passenger minivan. For a long time, these cars were not on the list of most exciting vehicles to own. But in recent years, with new exciting features and designs, they have flooded the wish lists of many potential consumers. Just consider the reviews of these three top notch models.

Toyota Sienna was an easy pick to choose due to its extremely comfortable ride and very powerful engine that puts its performance on top of the list. Additionally, the car is prized for its durability and quality. Also, Sienna is the only 8 passenger minivan that has an option of all-wheel drive which comes very handy for drivers that have to deal with snow and ice. Most consumers are delighted with its interior which is done with a top notch quality, yet still specious that leaves a lot of room for luggage.

On the downside of this car is that it has somewhat of an old style outside look, as well as its handling abilities. Furthermore, it is somewhat pricier model than many other models with the total cost easily passing over $30,000 when additional options are included.

Honda Odyssey

Another great minivan and favorite of many is certainly Honda Odyssey. Many crash tests done by consumer groups show that it deserves to have one of the highest safety rating in its class. Still, that safety did not come at the cost of performance as most drivers will witness to the fact that Odyssey is one of the most fun and desired minivan to drive. Also, due to its outstanding quality and durability, it boasts high resale value. But just like Toyota Sienna, its final purchasing price can reach into $40,000 depending on options selected which makes it the priciest model on the market.

Kia Sedona

On a budget side, the top contender is definitely Kia Sedona. This is a 8 passenger minivan that has a smooth and powerful 244-horsepower, 3.8-liter V6 engine. Its safety scores are also on top of the list, and its warranty of 5 years and 60,000 miles is the longest of any minivan. Although it has very roomy interior, it lacks luxury refinement of Honda or Toyota models. Also, driving tests reveal that its handling is not as good as the top two models, and its resale value is one of the poorest of these class of minivans.

These three top models in reality are great challengers to any SUVs and crossovers that have started to dominate the marketplace in recent years. They are not any more old, boring minivans, but can rather offer a wonderful, family oriented option for driving enjoyment and functionality.
