Help Recommend a Minivan

[hOrnizuka]

My dad's looking to finance a minivan and I just found out that my company offers some discount (supplier discount) on GM, Ford and Mitsubishi. Could someone please give me some idea as to which van offers the best bang for the buck? Here are 2 things that my dad wants.

-Reliable (last long?).
-Good on gas.
-Cheap.

He doesn't care about the look :D.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think either of those manufacturers have a decent Minivan. The Uplander from GM is a common choice, but IMO, it isn't that good, it looks pretty bad.
The Dodge/Chrysler offerings are better. The Honda Odyssey is the best. Hyundai/Kia also make some decent ones.

On the other hand, I think Uplanders and Dodge Caravans are cheap. Odysseys are expensive, but are far more reliable and I am guessing better on gas.

Mitsubishi makes a van?

Check out a heavily-discounted loaded Caravan. If not, check out Hyundai.

hello,

I just looked Mitsubishi's site and I can't any minivan. Anyway, i went through Ford and GM and here is the short list of minivans (hopefully i didn't miss any).

Pontiac Montana (I heard Pontiac will be no more)
Chevolet Uplander ($1k more than Montana. What's the dif. between Montana?)
Mazda5 (six seater, cheap msrp $20k...)

Other minivans that aren't under my employee program.

Dodge Caravan (My dad like this one)
Kia Sedona
Hyundia Entourage (most expensive)
