For most people, minivans are the epitome of uncool and boredom. So much, in fact, that they are now facing the same fate as wagons 25 years ago, a slow and painful agony. Let’s have a look back a ten of the best minivans ever.
10 - 2002 Volkswagen Eurovan VR6
9 - 2001 Nissan Quest
8 - 1993 Ford Aerostar Eddi Bauer
7 - 2015 Dodge Caravan R/T
6 - 2013 Lancia Voyager 2.8 Diesel
5 - 1992 Pontiac Trans Sport GT
4 - 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro
3 - 1985 Toyota LE Van 4x4
2 - 1991 Toyota Previa 4wd
1 - 2016 Toyota Sienna V6

that’s not a MINIvan, that’s a VAN

None of those vans are mini. This list should just be all about the wagovan. It is a wagon.....that is also a van. And it is mini.

I don’t see any sliding door. At best it’s a CUV if you really don’t want it top be a wagon.

Lol my bad. I get excited about vans.

That’s bullshit, they just just an Espace Shell over a slightly modified Williams F1 chassis.

The drivetrain was slightly modified, but the chassis was a one-off. It’s a minivan.
![]() 09/09/2015 at 15:18 |

Nope, station wagon.

Did you black out the windows yet?

I know what you’re going to say, that its not...on sale yet. Yes, but its going to make a helluva minivan, what with its vertically opening doors, sliding upwards gracefully...plus all wheel drive so that’s nice. Should be great...
![]() 09/09/2015 at 15:20 |

Hahaha no. I haven’t even driven it in months. It’s still full of painted Ranchero parts.

Too expensive. I don’t think it’s going to catch on.

Turbo Caravan. Unlike the other “you missed one” posts, this one’s actually a minivan.

its doesn’t have to, still going to be a great van.

I hope to see more minivans adopting gullwing doors in the future.

Came here for Previa. Left satisfied.
Always wanted to get one and just hoon the hell out of until it broke.

That’s not even an automobile if you ask me.

I didn’t. It’s a minivan.

It’s a luxury golf cart

Are any of the other vans on the list 12 second vans*?
*some modification required

NO

You forgot this one. What other minivan was available with a V6, manual transmission, 4WD, and locking diffs?
![]() 09/09/2015 at 15:45 |

VW Bus for the win!

Such enthusiasm !
Forgot about it

You forgot the AWD 4.3 Astro.

I’ve always wondered how my sienna would look with some wood vinyl caravan style..
![]() 09/09/2015 at 16:05 |

I mean, I’m sure precisely zero of them were optioned as listed, but that combination WAS possible.

A golf cart is just a small electric car made for old, rich, white men. Trust me, the electric car far predates the golf cart.

Nope, it is so mini of a minivan, you just think it’s a wagon. But it is a minivan.
![]() 09/09/2015 at 16:19 |

Ah, but you see the door DOES slide* in fact, they all can slide*. And it is truly one of the miniest of vans. Thereby ergo ipso facto it is the minivan-est of minivans.
* = slide does not indicate direction or orientation of door during slide......or being attached to the minivan.

Explain.
I’m not trying to be a problem, it was just that every single one of these and the Mercury Villager I have ever seen leaked more oil than a 1970s sedan out of Britain.
The packaging was’t bad, but I would have chosen a Mazda MPV from 99-06 prior to a Questager.

As are both VWs in your list.

Came here for third gen Odyssey, left unbelievably disappointed.
And why, why would you pick that Sienna!?
![]() 09/09/2015 at 18:06 |

The Nissan Quest was shit, the Aerostar was shit, the Vacuum cleaner was shit and the Eurovan left lots to be desired.

Hmm, ok. But it could also be an SUV considering it’s almost identical underneath to ML/GL. And most people call it a mini van, since it has that sort of shape and proportions. So where does that leave us?
