From the Back Seat

Mark Bilek

Topping out at $35,000, makes this minivan about $4000 cheaper than comparable Toyota and Honda models. However, you can also throw in about $3000 more cash back, making this van probably $6000-7000 cheaper out-the-door than a Toyota Sienna XLE or Honda Odyssey Touring. Chevy should be punished for not offering a fold-into-the-floor rear seat or side-curtain airbags. But this van does everything it is asked and would meet just about every family's need. It is an alternative for those on a budget.
