Extremely good crash test scores, tons of airbags, including rear side curtains for the kids in the 2nd/3rd rows. Braking is average. The safety features and crash test scores were the #1 reason for our purchase.
Surprisingly strong performance for a minivan. Transmission is a bit herky-jerky and seems to sometimes hesitate on downshifting, however there is PLENTY of passing power.
Dash is functional, buttons are large and easy to use. Guages easy to read. Center console between seats folds down and out of the way...a nice touch. Lots of cupholders and storage bins. Hideaway third row seats are great.
Ride is comfortable on long trips. Stock tires are remarkably good in ice/snow.
