It's a pig on gas since we got roughly 7.5km/L. However, it drives like a car and the Yamaha built engine loves to rev. The auto tranny shifts rough though.

The 2nd row captain chairs were so comfy and the third row *could* fit smaller people as well. Overall it's a good beater van that can hold a lot stuff/cargo while keeping passengers relatively comfortable.

Fun fact, certain parts from the Ford Contour SVT engine act as an upgrade!
Thanks, drove two MPVs with the 3.0L V6. Drove pretty solid for a 12-13 year old van but both had issues (CEL for one, A/C dead for the other). Very few clean, working MPVs out there so a Sienna might have to be it if I want a reliable one.
