I want this van so bad
Couldn't have said it any better myself. Two-door super cars are not my thing. A wagon or a van are far more exciting to me.
Because its more relatable to families, yea sure Lambos and Raris are cool, but maybe 2% of people watching Doug can actually afford them, this on the other hand is a much more common car that many of the viewers might and will actually buy, so its cool to see what it offers for your kids.
Doug in 2045: "Here's why the 2021 Toyota Sienna was way ahead of its time"
Exactly. He just completely underrated this car
Right
You need a reward
My dad hitting 280k miles on his 2012 sienna minimum maintenance. I'm looking to getting a 2021 having a growing family of my own.
There’s not going to be a 2045
Doug thank you so much! I am in Toyota sales and due to the overwhelming demand on Sienna/Hybrid vehicles and the fact we have had none available to see in person or will have none available anytime soon, your videos are a LIFE SAVER for sales people who have to show clients the product.
Thank you a million seriously!!!

Meanwhile Hoovie is buying a new car every month and then spending even more money to fix them up just to generate content which get maybe 500k views per video.
@@tren133 in the range rover video he said he drives 4-8 hours around cali for most cars he does that arent press release.
I’m not embarrassed to say I love my 2008 Sienna. 245k on it and still gets 25mpg on the Hwy, while engine runs perfectly, zero leaks or blow by. Love the Hybrid addition!!!
People aren't thinking about the need to replace the battery pack after 10 years or 150,000 miles. Your gas motor can keep going for years but with hybrids the clock is ticking on major repair expenses. The depreciation on the new hybrid is going to be much worse as they age compared to the V-6 Sienna. Watch some Scotty Kilmer videos, a great fan of Toyota's, and see what he thinks of hybrids as they age.
Toyota builds nice affordable cars that last and don't bite you. Their only flaw is that everyone gets them because you can't go wrong with one.
Not specifically related but i have an 03 corolla with 222k on the dash. Apart from a couple wheel hubs when i got it (≈145k) i have spent pretty much nothing maintaining it beyond tires and oil. Never been brought to a stop in any kind of weather, never left me on the side of the road, this thing will take you anywhere and will conquer mountains while it’s at it. I lent it for a couple months to my gf while she was in between cars and it was so good she bought a 2019 hatchback corolla. At this point the only other brand i even consider is Lexus, which, ya know, it’s Toyota. Point is get a 2000s Toyota, nobody ever regrets it
Agreed, we own two Sienna's 2005 and 2005 both over 200k miles.
@@waruddell there are plenty of Toyota hybrids on their original batteries over 200k, especially priuses. They definitely wont last forever, but they’ve gotten very good and will only get better. That combined with the boost in fuel economy and the fact that even most Toyota owners don’t hold on to the vehicle after 200k (despite the many instances of people doing just that, toyota sells millions per year so that’s still a small fraction), the hybrid system isn’t gonna be affecting too many wallets
I drive along side minivans on the highway to see what movie is playing.

I’m a single 21 year old college guy and man, I want a new Sienna more than any other vehicle out there! I got my chacos and only need the van to complete the dad vibes

@@Bob-fk8vd sorry about that bro, I pray God gives you kids
@@Bob-fk8vd This. One of these vans as a camera vehicle if you’re a UA-camr, or for camping if you raid trip to national parks. You can fit bikes, charge battery banks, and haul 5 people all at the same time with blu-ray movies, surround sound, and CarPlay while letting the active cruise control do it’s thing. It’s like having an executive transport vehicle for less than a base e-class.

I think it's something everyone likes from Doug. I'm just some random 19 year old university student and I find this more interesting that the supercars. Who knows
I am a 20 year old individual and I find the minivans quirkier than an average supercar like McLaren (F1 is GOAT).

Just chill y’all!
My parents just bought a Sienna and to be honest it’s amazing. I cannot be convinced of any reason why you’d want an SUV to haul family around over a minivan.
Some thoughts from an Uber driver who owns a 2010 Sienna:
1. Every time you mention "kids" those words can also describe college students after 12 shots of Hennessey, 100% of the time. I speak from experience.
2. My Sienna has 266 horsepower, a 5 speed auto, and weighs 4300lbs. It's slow. It feels slower. The new one has 26 fewer horsepower, probably a CVT, and 300lbs more to carry. You didn't really complain about acceleration, but fill it up with a bachelor party and try to get on interstate. Sure, it may get great MPG but it has to be able to accelerate to a safe highway speed in under an hour.
3. I know it's going to be slow, but holy fuel economy! And only 4 cylinders means the spark plugs are easy to change; not full day, completely disassembled front clip, teaching neighborhood kids every swear in the book affairs like mine is.
4. They haven't given up with these power doors yet? My driver side door cable snapped. The repair would have been $1700 if I had approved it. For a cable that opens a door. Ha!
5. My navigation radio unit stopped working. The dealer wanted $5986. That's not a typo. I turned to the aftermarket for a solution, but I fear that would not be an option in the new van.
6. I like all the options for charging. My 2010 has 3 12V outlets. 2 in front, 1 in the 3rd row, plus a 110V household outlet, which I use to power festive lights during the holiday season. It's adequate, but the 2021 is current with the times.
7. The 3rd row folding process on this one is MUCH improved over mine, though the end result produces the same flat load floor. Removing my captain's chairs is a pain. Thankfully I don't have to do it all that often.
8. 20 inch wheels? Seriously? LOL what does a set of tires cost, $1200? Cool sidenote: in high school, a friend of mine had a 1996 Honda Odyssey that he put 20" DUBs on. It rode awful.
9. Not sold on the huge open cubby in the middle. My 2010 has a closeable cubby under the shifter I use to store sick bags. The 2 tiered center console holds my flashlight, pen, and tire gauge in the top; and a box of tissues in the bottom. It even has secret cubbies in the front doors that I use for my self defense items.
10. The mirror is cool. A gimmick, but cool. Visibility out of vans SUCKS.
11. Vacuum is a HUGE plus. Screw kids, ever experienced the scope of how bad a weekend's worth of partiers can trash out an interior that size?
hp might be lower but torque will be higher and available at 0 rpm. very unlikely this will accelerate slower than any v6 minivan, with the exception of the v6 hybrid pacifica. hybrids usually accelerate faster due to the extra torque. the hybrid rav4 prime is now toyota's fastest 0-60 mph model under the toyota nameplate. it's hard for these statements to not make me sound like a hybrid / toyota fan boy. i'm just a humble 2 time hybrid vehicle owner / electrified powertrain enthusiast. give a hybrid pacifica or this sienna a test drive you'll prolly like it. altho - $50k?!?!? yikes bro. maybe in 3-4 years for me.
OMG... agree with all, but especially the side doors... my passenger side cable also snapped.
A+ for effort
According to Motor Trend the 2021 Sienna’s 0-60 time is 7.9 seconds vs the 2018’s 7.1.
So less than a second slower but significantly better fuel economy especially if you can get 44mpg like Edmunds did!
Doug the type of guy to vacuum his garage with his Toyota vac

@@sai-tc7wv I've seen that same fucking bot all across car UA-cam channels I watch

That's the interesting "quirks and features".
@Munshat Rahman I have
I can’t believe Doug is about to sell me on a minivan 😂
For value at any price 30k ,40k,50k it gives you way more then the equivalent SUV at the same price.
I don't get why anyone would want a smaller car that is less capable.
Hauling stuff and people is what cars are meant for
I have a Tesla ! And did a cross country CA~NY IN 5 days in this Sienna (Rental 400miles on odometer) boy ! I fell in love ! 85mph for 300 miles stretch BTW CA & salt lake city is when I made my mind
Bought one as soon as I came back , this boy is a champ ! I will never road trip in anything else !
Doug: 3rd Row Window shade fits perfectly
Barely covers half the window.
They do look pathetic,like a Chinese (fits any shape window) eBay purchase.
The Chrysler Pacifica also has third row shades.
the part it doesnt cover is behind the passenger, so the sun wont hit them unless theyre a child with a rear facing seat
Let the overprotected little delinquents roast in the sunshine, toughen them up for all life's gonna throw at them. Oh, and what was the purpose of privacy glass, I forgot already?
Are you also upset that front shades don't block the entire windshield?
"so you can plug in your toaster while your being driven around"
-Doug DeMuro, 2020
Doug, I shit you not. When you featured the “window open” warning, I remembered that my car window was still open. Thanks!
Not once have I became bored of your video, thanks for your fast talking, pure information and no fluff.
Hey Doug! Just wanted to correct your observation that people can "plug in their toaster" to the outlet in vehicles and also point out that on this vehicle it's actually an additional quirk/feature you might want to point out.
In most vehicles you've reviewed where you mention the ability to "plug in a toaster", the outlet is actually nowhere near powerful enough to actually run a toaster. So it's potentially dangerous to try to plug a toaster into most vehicle outlets, or at the least will blow a fuse. One way you can tell is by looking at the outlet itself. Most cars/trucks will say something like "400W" on the outlet. But toasters typically take 800W - 1200W to to function so if you try to run a toaster in a outlet rated at 400 watts it will certainly blow a fuse and who knows what else.
Now that being said, on THIS vehicle (the Toyota Sienna Platinum) the outlet says "1500W" (WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE) and should be able to power any toaster no problem. This is actually quite incredible and is worth giving an additional callout to because it's actually more than likely setting a new standard. It's possible that the new hybrid powertrain means the battery is a lot more capable and therefore can provide this tremendous power (although I'm just guessing). A hilarious but impressive "best in class" feature. (for comparison, the 2019 Honda Odyssey Owner's manual claims an abysmal 150 watts max on their outlet so this is a 10x improvement on the new Sienna)
Love what you do Doug! Been watching for years and I've learned an incredible amount. Thanks for giving me something to look forward to every Tue/Thu.
He never says use the toaster, simply “plug in your toaster” like you just said. So, no correction needed lol
Lmao I think he means toaster as a joke.
Planning to buy this Minivan and put in a Playstation 5. The last Sienna we owned cannot even handle our PS4 and would blow fuses so we had to buy an 1000w inverter for that van.
@@pranavm8233 If he was really meant it to be a joke he would have said plug in your Air fryer......

Why Doug’s fictional kids always need to charge their devices at the same time?
Same reason why he always makes toast where there's an A/C socket.
underrated comment.
😂😂
cause if you have 2 5-year-old twins, youd better have 2 same copies of everything that exists on this planet, for God' sake
Yep and driving them to their fictional soccer game with the refrigerator full of gatorade
In the 90s minivans were getting V6's because Moms wanted power, now they're going to hybrid 4's because their daughters want fuel economy.
I feel that V6’s are slowly being phased out. Nowadays you can’t get a midsize sedan with a V6 anymore and most entry level luxury SUVs have turbo 4 cylinder engines. Sad times.
Why make this about women? Dudes like me want fuel economy too.
@@ikelee And so is its towing and load ability. Thats why i bought a low miles 2016.
My thoughts:
Car Vaccum: Excellent!
Car freeze/fridge: Useful so you don't have to go back into the house to grab your bottle or ice cream when you have already placed it in there. Very useful!
Auto closing and opening the door by putting or foot under the car! superior!
Leg rest: Very good! it's nice so now you can sleep comfortably or relax!
The 3rd-row sunshade is useful for kids
Second console: Useful for trips!
Two wireless phones chargers are extremely useful.
Total marks: 100%
The car doesn’t actually have the vacuum and fridge, this was most likely a preproduction model. The reason it doesn’t have it was because the supplier went bankrupt or something.
@@officialcharleszhang OOF
Finally!! At 1500W, Doug's toaster joke is Finally accurate! Oh I have waited years for this moment!
same lol
The fridge box was an optional piece of equipment on the 1980's Toyota Van! It was a cool feature!
Oh really? That's very interesting!

OMG this is a hidden gem. You don't need to spend 100,000 to have a true luxury vehicle.

And what's the point of them?
Does the person that makes them want to sell something?
Or are they just made to annoy?
I am single with no intention of getting married and having kids any time soon. And yet... a minivan sounds like so much fun. You could hall any and all outdoor gear in that thing easier than just about anything. Also you could literally live in this thing. It’s the ultimate road trip warrior.
That’s exactly why I traded in my Impreza for a Sienna. Haul my bike inside the vehicle and ready for big trips too!
I just love the styling of new toyotas. The rav4, sienna, highlander, corolla, supra(z4). They all look so good.
Doug: “Never seen a third row sunshade before..”
Me: My 2005 Sienna XLE had third row sunshades
That’s amazing, lol 😂
My '14 Odyssey Elite had them too. My 2020 EX-L NAV does not though.
My 08 sienna does too.
Yea even though doug reviews so many cars he gets excited for pretty basic features
My grandmas town and country has it too lol
minivans a couple years into the future: "we now have 73 cup holders, it's always good to have more just in case"
and another 73 power outlets

"we removed seats because space"
yea u never know when u need to serve a thirsty team of marines
Minivans *basically have cupholders like the fordt gt seats
Crazy to see minivans priced at half what a home costed in the mid 90’s
Blame inflation. $50k of today is like $20k of mid 1990's.

New Toyota's are closing Gap between Toyota and Lexus.
So true
Closing the gap, in price.
Also Lexus has been losing to its german and even American rivals for luxury. Still got reliability tho...
Yeah but this is a Minivan Lexus wouldn’t really do that so it’s understandable. Even with these features I’d sacrifice it for the Lexus suv’s

Never gonna be disappointed with Doug. I am currently considering getting a Sienna. Among all those Sienna reviews, there are some small but interesting things about the car I can only see it here!❤
EV mode that is for when you come home at 2am and you told the wife you would be home at 11pm, at least you can sleep in the van.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jokes aside, if you're at a school where they do carpool lanes, putting it in ev mode there makes so much sense. Long queues of cars just idling seems stupid and wasteful.
@@zeroelus hardly that wasteful. A 2.5 liter gas engine (as in the powerplant on this van) is going to burn about 4 tenths of a (US)gallon (.39 to be precisely approximate since every engine is going to be a tad different) per hour. Now let's say you maybe wait for a half hour in line to pick up your kids 5 days a week, then you've wasted all of only 1 (US)gallon a week. Hardly anything in the grand scheme of things since that equates to maybe an extra $2 - $3 a week all while keeping your climate control running.
@@ram89572 3 a week, 12 a month, 144 a year, 1440 in 10 years, it all adds up in the long run :D
@@Omgiamsotriggered That's an inconsequential amount of money is my point. The person that can afford to buy one of these vans - even the base model - is not going to care about an extra $144 a year spent in gas. Any person that is poor enough to care about that amount of money can't afford a brand new $30,000 van and certainly not the high end trim shown here. And by the time they could afford one of these from the used market, the battery is going to be worthless if it works at all. Think about it this way. How many times a week do you think the person driving this van buys a cup of coffee? Do they buy any liquor? Cigarettes? Do they pay for cable/satellite tv every month? Someone pinching pennies might care. Someone who has what the typical driver of this van is going to have will not care about those few extra dollars and would rather keep their climate control going to stay comfortable.
Anyone else watching this at night in bed and wondering why they just watched a 25 min. review of a minivan?
Yeah
Yeah, very relaxing videos with 0 political/stressful content...except maybe when I realize that I can't afford any car on this channel l
Morning here, I'm supposed to be working, instead I just watched a 25 min. review of a minivan.
I usually watch the last 6 mins of the video
Honestly that's most of Doug's videos. He can make a 1995 corolla (my first car) interesting
Nice! The third row reminds me of Economy Class on a plane and the second row reminds me of First Class haha.
We always opt for our 2005 Sienna that has already racked up 301K miles when we go on long trips. We choose the Sienna over our SUVs and Sedans because the Sienna is space efficient that has excellent ride that is important for long drives and the Sienna is extremely reliable.
More importantly, I would buy another Sienna because it’s a Toyota. Toyota dealer network, spare parts logistics, Toyota longevity & reliability are key factors for keeping a vehicle for a very long time.
This is the last time you will see a clean Sienna

"you *CAN* do it with one hand"
I borrowed this Hybrid Sienna from a friend who just bought it new and it was a Platinum model. I went to the beach with it and had 4 adults and 4 children in the Van. We have 8 people worth of luggage so the back hatch was filled to the top with luggage and had a hitch mounted cargo carrier filled to the brim with more luggage. We also have surf boards and a paddle boat mounted on the roof.
So the Sienna was fully loaded and very heavy, I was worried the hybrid system would not be able to pull all this weight. But to my surprise it handled it better than a Sienna V6 last Gen model we took to the beach last year. It was actually more capable than the V6 model. It felt very powerful especially when driving from a full stop. Felt very torquey. The whole road trip we averaged 34 MPG and I am in love! We just may have to buy one for ourselves.
Toyota hit a home run with this one.
I love the way this guy focuses on the car vs. trying to put himself in every frame. Great review!!

I believe this Minivan is the most vehicle money can buy. Somehow car enthusiasts hate Minivans, but I don't see it that way.
I just sold my Sienna after 17 years / 280k miles of ownership. During that 17 years, it took my 2 Children home from the maternity ward, and adopted 2 dogs and 1 cat. I had Miata, E46 M3, Mini Cooper JCW, Corvette, Porsche Boxter, F150 Raptor, Wrangler, S2000, Prowler, MR2 and Mustang GT go thru my garage, but that Sienna was the "Go-To" vehicle all the time.
I would ask the dealer to switch out the 20" wheels with 19" wheels and run a thicker tire which can help road noise and comfort. 20" wheels in a van just scream poor ride quality to me.
Why ?
The thicker the tire, the more shock it obsorbs. Thats why cars with low profile tires run like crap. Smaller wheels + bigger tire walls = better ride.
Most of my cars have low profile tires which have 18 and 19 inch wheels but since theyre low profile, they have small walls and they run like crap, fun, but like crap.

The only RAV4 I like is the Adventure or TRD Pro, because the front looks a lot better to me than the other front end. Sadly, they've made the highlander look similar to the ugly version of the RAV4 instead of pretty like a Tacoma.
Honestly it looks more like a big Camry to me
Missed some notable quirky features. You have to choose between a spare tire or the 2nd row foot rests. It's the only minivan with awd and a hybrid. The platinum version (Top of the line) comes with plastic hub caps (this may he a 2022 issue, since the one you reviewed has 20" tires).
Best looking minivan by far.
I'm still rocking my 1998 Sienna.
Had a 99 sienna one of the best car I've had
Smart. No need spending money ona new one unless it's completely dead.
@@nflcolts83 bruh
@@nflcolts83 yes and no u dont need to buy a new one just keep buying use, but i agree with you lol
I have my 98 with 245K miles. The original fuel pump just died. I will get a new one and will keep driving it until it dies
Car: Has latch to get to the back rows.
Me: Climbs over the seats.
When I thought my mom's 2010 Sienna's two-way operated (use either the handle or a button to control) power doors were crazy, and the acceleration was fast to me as a 6 year old.
Dang minivans have come a long way this makes me want to get one just to chill in thing is basically a one bed apartment lol
I live in mine.
People hate on the minivan, but I don’t see rolls Royce with a legrest as big as a la z boy
or legit every media input aux usb 2/c hdmi vid/r/l bluetooth
If you want a leg rest, the Kia Sedona has a even nicer middle row seat. In the Kia the middle chair actually slides sideway a little bit, which allows you to fold down the third row seat and slide the 2nd row seat even further back, which means you can fully stretch out in the middle row chair. I don't think the Sienna middle row chair can go back as far as the Kia.
@@tren133 yea but then you realize youre in a kia
@@iHasCaek 🤣🤣🤣
i love how excited Doug gets every time he reviews a minivan, you can hear it in its voice
I just like how Doug can make folding your third row look aggressive
I love how he actually worked that feature where the door opens when you put your foot under it
I supposedly have that feature on my Ford titanium and it only works like 10% of the time so I just stopped trying 😂
Can we just appreciate how nice the paint is.
It’s a really nice blue! Having a hard time deciding between blue and black
@@ikelee get the blizzard pearl
I have never wanted a mini van more than I do after watching this...
Check out the Kia Carnival
@@amiwrongaboutsports that’s an amazing van
@@amiwrongaboutsports And Honda Odyssey, that's very good too
@@ArturoPerez-si2xk nah fam the 2014 toyata sienna se is the funniest minivan ever
the other day he managed to get me interested in the Fiat Multipla lmao
never thought I'd watch a full review of a mini-van. Good job Doug!
I love minivans because practically good for a family use.
1980's minivan would have had 8 ashtrays. I like how Doug's hand goes into slow-motion when he starts pointing at things.
Doug is the type of guy to wear a mask in a Zoom meeting
😂😂
LOL
@Right Round same! You have all of these idiots going around depleting their air as they exercise. These are the same people who are allowed to vote SMH
@Right Round the first one is partly correct, depends on where you run. But putting a mask when you are in the car alone is hilarious
@Right Round Today I saw two normal drivers wearing a face mask. What's the point of wearing a face mask inside a car when the car is one of the safest places to be during the pandemic?
As a guy I would love to drive a sienna that look like XSE from exterior but the interior has the entertainment screen in second row, with recliner, fridge and vacuum. May my dream come true.
this would be such a baller homie hauler, just going on road trips with the boys
love the quality ofthe interior! Just like a Lexus, so where is the Lexus now?
@Frank L taillights are definitely Lexus haha
@Cars with Ivan They making Lexus LM for china.
You haven't even watched the whole video
It’s obvious. Toyota’s turning into Lexus now
In Asia
My life: Expecting 36mpg but getting only 15 because my wife is running late everywhere, then having to clean out 18 sticky cup holders.
Haha
Comments like this is why I'm glad to be single and childless.
@@motorpolitan8884 no regrets, having a child is expensive and stressful. The population of earth is too high by 5 billion people.
This hit so different lmfao
Cant agree more. You sure you hitting 15 mpg?
I drove a 2019 Sienna for the 1st time a few weeks ago. I must say one of the best smoothest ride in a mini-van . To me ita drives like a jeep 🚙 and the auto-shift on this Sienna is Nice. I never thought I would be saying this about a mini-van , but I would actually consider buying one.
Brooklyn is watching and listening
Minivans are, quite simply, design and engineering masterpieces ⭐️
"You can do it one-handed." Does it two-handed.
The Hasidic community is keeping minivans alive. Drive through South WIlliamsburg in Brooklyn and every single car is a minivan. They are gonna love this.
They're all going to die of COVID because bruh, religious freedom allows 50,000 people to congregate without fear of contracting and spreading a lethal virus. If you disagree, you is racist!
The 2023 breaks the mold. Amazing. I hope I get to rely on my new dream mini van for ten years.
5:48 that was smooth
1985: we'll have flying cars in the future.
Cars in the future: you can change language in the rear view mirror.
Sienna: I have 18 cup holders
Ascent: not enough, I have 19 cup holders
In Subaru’s it’s not cupholders, it’s Vape holders.
❤️🟥
I love the look of the wheels on this minivan. I wish the Corolla or the Camry got these wheels
I saw one on the beach in Oceano. Then I realise it was the new sienna
I've been in love ever since

Doug: Sienna is an ultra luxury minivan.
Toyota Alphard & Lexus LM: laughs in Japanese/ Chinese.
Or cries in tears because they paid 10 times more but don't get much more
The Toyota Vellfire:
This exactly i want to say. Sienna looks nothing nicer than Alphard, Vellfire & LM. They are the real ultra luxury...
dont forget the vellfire lol
Alphard? Laughs in Elgrand
I wonder how long he is going to call it his “new online auction site”
Time is relative

@@bowdennthani732 January is the one maybe.
@@bowdennthani732 January 20th dear lol
11:09 I thought the Sienna was suddenly a massive giant next to Doug being 6ft....
I saw this when it launched but didn't comment until December 2023: I like Minivans more than SUVs for some reason, I don't know why, maybe because I see this as the ULTIMATE practical car, the point is 😂: I never thought I, a 90's born car enthusiast would be saying this but, I'd love to own a mini van, thank you very much 🥰❤️
If Doug ever has a kid, he will start a channel called “Cars and Bibs”
Don’t leave me lol😂
LOL!!
Dougs Mormon. You can guarantee he already has kids
He already has a son, and that son is me.
I can see this thing being used as a VIP car in lower income markets. Seems more luxurious than an E class/ 5 series etc. to me.
I can see it being used as a VIP car, period. If you request a black car in NYC, one of the higher options is a minivan. Last time I was there with the family, a man picked us up in a black Sienna with leather interior.
I can confirm this. We sold a BMW 5-series to get the van. My dad and I take a lot of road trips and couldn't stand doing it in a sedan, doesn't matter what model. The space of the van is so important to us we cared less about letting go of a status symbol. Not to mention, the van is far more comfortable, spacious for your legs, and it's ironically more powerful. 2018 V6 Sienna, when they had the most horsepower.
@@alpaljl wait!? So u`d take a minivan over an e63 or a m5???
@@dravde7325 Didn’t say that, dumbass. But for the use specified, van over performance car, yes.
@@dravde7325 Yes he would. a minivan is far better than a uneconomical sport sedan.
As a European, it's so strange to hear someone go on and on about the fact that a car "only" takes 6,5l per 100km.
my sister and brother-in-law are getting this and in blue! never thought I would be jealous of a minivan owner
