Nothing wrong with a minivan unless you don't have a fun car too. Then there is where the problem is.

I think the funniest part is his van was probably worth more than your BRZ.

Those Odysseys and Siennas are like 40 g's.

I have no idea what van it was but...

Sad face for the only children (or ones with only one sibling) whose parents transport them in minivans or econoboxes instead of 86s, too.

From what I hear locally from 86 owners with kids, this car is almost as much fun for them to ride in as it is for mom & dad to drive them around in.

I'm on my phone so if I make mistakes, blame Sportsguy83

How did you know?! My son is 3.5 years old and loves my car. He loves watching the speedo. He is a bad influence. He keeps saying go 100mph!!! He keeps saying go 7,8,9. I have to tell him it's too hot for the engine. I can't do 9!! I went on and on ramp today and was pulling almost a full G and he was laughing.

Yeah, I see minivans driving everyday with just one kid or none at all. I could see getting a minivan with 3 kids, but two like me seems a waste. A $40+ waste.

They certainly do! My grandson calls mine the "batmobile" and is vocally disappointed when the passenger quantity [and size] requires us to take the hatchback.

My 4.5 year old loves the BRZ, but he says when he gets big, he's getting a Shelby!

I drop him off on my way to work, and his Mom picks him up. We have a 1 year old, too, and the Odyssey comes in handy. Two kids, a stroller, spare diaper bags, toy organizer, etc, takes up quite a bit of room. Especially when a grandparent or two is with us.

The Ody was less than $30K after negotiations, but it's the LX (second highest trim level), and this was in 2009. But yeah, more expensive than the BRZ.

My 4.5 yr old loves my BRZ. He always wants to go in the "blue race car" with his daddy

Never liked mini-vans, but with the addition of twins recently we almost had to buy one

Luckily we had a friend selling a Sequoia, so my wife gets to drive that and all three kids.

Love it.

But can you take some better pics and post!?

I was very interested in Smoked Valenti but was just worried if it's too black during the day.
