Audi Q7 - Buick Enclave

As long as I can remember, I’ve never liked minivans. Something about them always made me look the other way. Then one day my father showed up at the door with a 2004 Honda Odyssey and right then and there, I promised myself that I would never ever be like him (in terms of his taste in cars at least) and purchase a minivan – no matter how big my family gets.

Of course, you can imagine the excitement I felt when automakers stared introducing crossovers with 7 seats. It was like a minivan on the inside, but an attractive SUV on the outside.

I realized that I’m not the only one who despises minivans, when I met others who shared the same sentiment.

With that in mind, we would like to know what type of vehicle you would purchase given you have a large family or one day plan on having a large family. You may get model specific – and no, no matter what Mercedes-Benz tells you, the R-Class is a minivan.

Let us know in the comments section below.

    Crossover – it's like a combo of the other 2.

    I would take an MDX before a GX or R class.

    Family = minivan
    Dad or mom with kids in tow –> whatever they can justify for themselves.

    Practically speaking: Ford Flex Ecoboost as it seats 7, looks… interesting, and has a healthy amount of power and efficiency.

    Dream People Mover: I'm with Kabluey. E63 AMG Wagon.

    Agree. NEVER a minivan.

    Family of 4 (incl baby) = Med SUV, XC90
    Family of 4 (no babies or toddlers) = Small SUV, Audi Q5

    and yes, the R-Class looks and is a minivan, an UGLY one at that.

    We had a Chevrolet Venture and I never liked it much. It was very unreliable and uncomfortable. Then we bough the R-class diesel – a great family car. It's a world of difference from minivans. No minivan holds the road and provides comfort, performance and fuel economy like this.
