Odyssey. You will have it forever and it will drive like a dream. Just sold my 2006. In perfect shape after 14 years.

That's what I'm thinking. 2 kids, we haven't decided to finalize the roster and we like the outdoors / roadtrips / camping.
It just seems like the easy choice.
Plus these things drive VERY well these days. ~300 horses, good handling (better than SUVs since they're lower to the ground).

@xenon Yep. Get the EX-L if they still sell it. Best bang for the buck. And do NOT get video screens for the kids. you lose too much conversation time. If you go on long trips have audio books you can all listen to and discuss together. We used the Harry Potter series.

Daughter drives one of these and likes it quite a bit...

For SUV's the middle row needs a 2-seat option (gap in the center to get through. I think more and more of the 3-row SUVs are coming with this now.
Car seats galore.

Well, how many are you going to need?
Loved your 'roster' wording.

I did too #roster
Since our roster is growing to 2 in November, we may be heading towards a minivan. The Odyssey seems like a good option! I also see the middle seats can slide together and apart, making access to the back seat (no jokes, Jon) easier.
Mik id agree about the video screens. Both from a “back in my day we had magnetic chess, and played the license plate ABC game” angle, but also I liked your point about an audio book. Heck if they need a video screen, iPads I’m sure would do fine.

3's been our target for a while. We've discussed, but never really seriously entertained the idea of 4. So - that'd be 3 car seats (they make the big kids sit in boosters for a while these days).
On the flip side - I'm upgrading from a golf, so anything is going to feel palatial.

Once in 1997 or 8 I had to put my car in the shop and the dealer gave me a brand new Hyundai to drive as a loaner. I went through a small puddle of water in the road and got my socks and the cuffs of my pants wet. I know they're better now than they were then, but I just can't bring myself to even think about buying one.

@Larry D3 was sideswiped on I55 at 65 mph. She was driving an Elantra. She rolled the car - twice.
She walked away.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Shit.
Some nailpolish and some 1000 grit sandpaper will clean that right up.
