i just purchased VW Routan and very satisfied and the fact that it is their first minivan...well done. I'd place #3 after Siena and Odessy though i think it may well be no.2 it is a smoother rider then odessy and interior is much more comfortable the only thing IT JUST HIT THE STREETS so give it a little to prove itself
