We have been using minivan for the longest time. We started with Chevrolet, Toyota and Honda. We have had back to back using Honda Odysseys totalling for 8 years now. It served very well with no trouble at all. I am very impressed with the quality of those Hondas.

However, the current Odyssey is with us for 5 years and has less than 20,000 miles. That means we are not using the minivan like we used to. So, I am now hoping around for new vehicle fore replacement.

I came across of small minivan called Ford Transit Connect. It is much smaller and cheaper than minivans from Honda, Toyota or Chrysler. As a matter of fact, it is a passenger version of work van.

I don't see any competing vehicle except NISSAN NV200 ... but is is a cargo van and passenger version is a taxi.
