My 2 cents...the money you save on 4 plugs vehicle is always later spent on the mechanics... My advise... Go for a V6...it doesn't gulp fuel as you think...if an i4 consumes 2500 in a week, V6 will consume 3,200-3500 in a week...and it doesn't break down easily like a 4 plug. Is it 1200 or 1500 you can't afford?

Thanks this is really useful and justified.The way people condemned V6 engine Minivan with respect to fuel consumption is worrisome.

Please which brand and year of V6 Minivan will you recommend..?

Thinking of buying foreign used and shipping myself ,need useful help with the process.


I appreciate your Suggestions.

I appreciate your Suggestions.

For now,Sienna tops the chart...

But if you don't care about brands, you can go for an Hyundai Entourage, Kia Sedona, Nissan Quest from 2008.

For a transport business as you stated, the 1st generation sienna wouldn't pay off in terms of passenger comfort.(back glass)

The avensis verso will be a better alternative IMO.

If you can save up for the latter model of sienna (2003 above) then you are good to go.

The Toyota Avensis verso will remain my first love but couldn’t get it in the Americans market,l was told it was designed for the European market.l need useful information on how to purchase and ship from Europe.

As second choice l will prefer the second generation Sienna because the first generation seems too old for me as first car. Please what’s the major difference besides the years and some upgrades.

In terms of :
Fuel consumption
Maintenance
Durability

Thanks
