The Top Three Pittsburgh Used Mini Vans

Families rely on their minivans for a number of things, not just transporting the kids from one place to another. A minivan comes in handy when one goes to buy groceries for a large family as there is plenty of space to hold the bags, and many wouldn’t carpool to sporting events or after school activities without one as there is just too much gear to carry. If you are in the market for Pittsburgh used mini vans, the first thing you need to decide is which van to buy. US News recently ranked the top used minivans under $20,000 and here are the top three.

The 2009 Toyota Sienna tops the list of used minivans thanks to its excellent reliability record, outstanding performance, and high quality interior. It’s a comfortable vehicle also and most will be satisfied with the 3.5-liter V6 engine which produces 266 horsepower, better than any in its class. This is also the only minivan offering all-wheel drive, but its safety score is lacking. Be aware of this when determining which mini van is right for you.

The 2010 Toyota Sienna comes in right behind its sibling, ranking second on the list. This vehicle offers a spacious interior to make it easier to carry children and their gear, solid performance, and a better reliability rating than any other vehicle in its class. What makes this van a driver favorite, however, is the combination of power and comfort. Drivers feel they have ample power while driving and passengers love how comfortable it is to ride in. The one drawback is in the handling, which is lacking when compared to other minivans made the same year.

The 2009 Honda Odyssey rounds out the top three as it has a great deal to offer. Not only does this vehicle have outstanding safety ratings, it’s very comfortable for the driver and passengers and it offers good performance. Be aware that its reliability rating isn’t the best. You may also want to consider the 2009 Kia Sedona as it comes close to the Odyssey in terms of its ranking, although it was much lower on the list.
