I don't have one, but I don't think I've ever met someone who hates their minivan. (Whether it's the truth or refusing to take another blow to their ego remains to be seen. )
Jealous!!!!! We just decided that instead of making a ridiculous financial decision, we're going to wait until DH's car bites the dust and then it's MINI VAN time!
The first thing my sister said when I got mine was, you swore you entire life you would never drive a minivan. But, I love it! We would have been morons to get anything else with 3 kids 2 and under. You simply cannot beat the convenience of the sliding doors, captains chairs in the middle, and the cargo space is double that of any third row suv we looked at. You won't regret it!
LOVE! I was also adamant that I'd never own a minivan. After test driving basically all other options that could accommodate our 3 kids and all the stuff that goes with them, we bought our Odyssey 2 years ago. It is seriously awesome! So convenient, enough space to travel somewhat comfortably, and drives well. Congrats!
I love ours!! The magic doors are worth everything. I don't know how people with little kids live without them! Once you have them and other conveniences a minivan brings you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. Congratulations on joining the club!
