Are you in the market for a vehicle that can fit the whole family, but better on gas than an SUV? Would you like a vehicle that gives you added storage space, extra leg room but still drives like a car? A minivan might be the right option for you. Minivans offer the storage space of a truck, the passenger space of an SUV while still coming close to the gas mileage of a car. Three good options to consider are the Honda Odyssey, Dodge Caravan and the Volkswagen Eurovan.

The Honda Odyssey is a smaller, more compact minivan but still offers an array of features that are appealing for a wide range of people. Whether you’re looking for convenience or for luxury, the Honda Odyssey Haynes Manual offers models that fit your every need. The LX model offers a 244 horsepower, 3.5 liter engine, anti-lock braking system, 3-row side curtain airbags, front side airbags, front and rear air conditioning, duel sliding doors and an MP3 input jack starting at just above $26,000. The EX model offers tri-zone automatic climate control, 16-inch alloy wheels, power sliding doors, in-floor storage and more for just above $29,000. The EX-L offers a power tailgate, variable cylinder management, leather trimmed interior, leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, heated front seats, power moon roof, XM radio, automatic dimming rearview mirrors with rearview camera display, DVD rear entertainment system, and it also comes with the option of a navigation system just above $33,000. The Touring offers Honda satellite-linked navigation system with voice recognition and rearview camera, DVD rear entertainment system, Bluetooth, front and rear parking sensors, and a memory linked driver’s seat and mirror for about $40,500. So weather you’re looking for luxury and style, or just comfort, reliability and safety, the Honda Odyssey has an option for you.

The Haynes Dodge Caravan Manual was the first minivan ever made. The caravan is well known and very popular. Before the caravan was available in the normal size and in the extended size, the Dodge Grand Caravan, but now it is only offered in the extended size. A few new options for the Grand Caravan are the blind spot monitoring, and the rear cross path safety systems which are offered in the SXT model. With the 4.0 Liter V6 engine version, the fuel economy is as good as 17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg while driving on the highway. The Dodge Caravan comes with convenient second and third row “stow and go” seating which leaves plenty of space for storage. The larger version, the Grand Caravan is longer and offers 15.1 cubic feet of storage. The Dodge Caravan has always been the pioneer in minivans and continues to add new safety features that will make you feel good about driving with your family.

The Volkswagen Eurovan Service Manual is the stylish, larger option of the three. This minivan is a modern, evolved version of the Volkswagen microbus that has been around for over 50 years. The Eurovan offers more style and sticks out in the world of minivans. The box-shaped look of the eurovan often makes it the preferred because it is different from the rest. The Eurovan offers more space than the normal style of minivan. Because of it’s heavier weight and larger size, the Eurovan is said to be a bit harder to turn but has the advantage of high seating, which allows one to have a better view of the road. It also features fold down seating for added storage space. The Eurovan is more powerful with a 2.8-liter engine that produces 201 horsepower. While the gas mileage is a little lower, if you’re looking for a bigger vehicle but still smaller and more functional than a truck or an SUV, the Eurovan might be the right option for you.

Which ever minivan you choose, you can be sure that your family will be more comfortable in a minivan, whether you are running errands, going to a soccer game or taking a weekend camping trip. Because minivans are made to be safe, you won’t have to worry about anything as you comfortably drive down the road with your automotive repair manuals in hand, leaving nothing or nobody behind with all the space you need in your new minivan.
