The full sheet plywood test has always applied to the grand cravan as well. The previa is a nice van but there is a reason the grand caravan was outselling every other minivan combined. That leaves a ton of them on every Craigslist out there for a nice price. Late 90s and the transmission was no longer an issue, besides most of the early failures were usually do to wrong fluids. We have had a lot of minivans since 1988 and tried wagons, SUVs, and crossovers but always seem to come back to a grand caravan in the end. I am kind of interested in checking out the 2015 KIA though...
