We had a sable wagon with the 3rd row, it faced backward and was approiately named the nausea seat. Impossible to get in and out of and used up all the cargo room when used for people. Still got no better mileage then the grand caravan we had before and after. Oh and it blew 2 transmissions in 100,000 miles. We would get 24mpg with our 1999 grand caravan going 75 mph and it was a 3.8 with AWD.
We have finally gotten off the minivan road after 25 years with various models and now have a 2009 Buick Enclave that seems better aero, has more power with the direct injected 3.6, and does OK on economy at about 22mpg but that is also with fat 19" tires and AWD driving fast. I mainly wanted the higher tow rating but it also rides nicer and is much more luxurious then any minivan I have ever seen. I thought about the Flex or MKT but the Enclave was $16,500 and I just never can across that good of a deal on one.
