The first gen quest/villager twins were 3 liter, later 3.3 liter nissan v-6s, quite different IMO from that turd of a minivan, the windstar which in earlier models, anyway had the 3.8 pushrod v-6 which was an absolutely horrible engine.
I had a '97 villager. Possibly the best damn vehicle I ever owned....til my daughter wadded it up on her way home from school a week after she got her license.
I would love to have a first gen Odyssey with a 5 speed.
I think the mileage champ could be the newer Odysseys with cylinder deactivization. I believe these can be coaxed to close to 30 mpg running on three cylinders.
Another one to remember is the mazda 5. It is a mini-minivan and can be had with a 5 speed stick. I suspect such a vehicle could get over 30 mpg with a little hypermiling.
