Parents want kind of van u driving.?

Question

Right now we need a van. I have one kid still sit in booster seat. I have a toddler sits in car seat. And two older children sit normal way with seat belts. It would need least 7 people. But it 4 kids and 2 adults right now. We need one that has plenty of room. 
 I hope we start looking soon. Also would need good gas milege. My daughter doctor appointments are an hour away from where we leave. I will be also using the van for.

I need to decide want to do with my car. My car in no shape to sale or trade it. It needs a lot of fixing. Over thousands dollars I would say. I need a brand new fuel tank or something. My boyfriend saud it cost 700 to get it. A new head gasket need oil change after that done. That be about 500 dollars. One window is broke. Actullay something inside. The window down but won't go up. So right now we have it tape up. New part for that can be 200 to get that fixed. My car is 1999 cheverolt mabliu

Thanks

we have an '04 sienna.  honestly it might have been a great car had we not bought it new in a year that they totally redesigned it.  this car has had more recalls than i can even count, plus we had one major antilock brake failure that took forever to fix, plus my power doors no longer work.  i'm fairly irritated with it as a car.

that said, it does fit two adults, our four kids, and the dog, and four kid-sized bikes and assorted other gear.  with all the seats down we've transported trees in it.  it's a pretty useful car, at least when it's not being repaired.  and in fairness i think most years of siennas have had fewer problems than ours.

we got the 7-seater though if i was doing it again i'd get 8 seats.  my kids were little back then and i didn't realize how often i was going to be transporting their friends as they got older!

and hey, it's got a lot of cupholders.  ;-)

I have a 99 Windstar. It seat 7 and is great on gas. The other option I like is that it has two sliding doors and I don't have to worry so much about the kids getting out on the traffic side. Plus car seats are a lot easier to get in and out if needed.

That's funny.  I had to get rid of my '99 Chevy Malibu.  I am currently driving an '07 Chevy Uplander.  It is perfect for us, but it will only carry 6 people.  For the amount of room that you would need I would suggest going for the Toyoto Sienna..however they can be pricey so if $ is an issue the Kia Sedona is a reasonable price with plenty of room.  Good luck!  I always said I would never drive a mini van but now I don't know how I ever lived without it :)

We have a Chevy Venture. It's not the biggest van, it holds 8 ( we really needed 9). it's not the best on gas compared to the car...........not sure about other vans. But it has been reliable. We have taken that thing all over the country and I would completely trust it to make another 2000 mile trip in a heartbeat.

a honda oddsesy or a toyota sienna are the 2 best van that i prefer. for me if i wanna buy a new one,i would buy a sienna(cheaper) but if i want a used car, i would get a oddsessy.
