These articles solidify my decision to find a replacement for my dearly departed 96 Aerostar XLT, aka “Arthur”.

Also 6'6", also love driving small cars!

I’m two hours from Vancouver (Seattle metro). We’ve been planning a trip there soon-ish, but I might tack on an extra day to check some JDM minivans out.

I low-key love the Rondo

The Sienna AWD is my top choice to replace my CRV EX-L AWD. Anything to check out (might go the used route)?

It took six years, but I think that I’ve finally convinced my wife that we need to go the minivan route (she wants three kids, so I said that if she wants that, then we’re getting a minivan).

The car or the girl?

I go back and forth between getting a XK8, or hold out/save up for a 2012+ XK.

Nice! It’s my dream car, and I hope to be able to own one someday. :-)

From what I’ve read about the XK, they’re generally reliable vehicles

We were looking at three-year-old CRV EX-L AWDs last year.

Glad someone saw my recommendation!

Just get the damn minivan

I wish I could give you an infinite amount of stars.

Can I quote you in my FB car group?

It does to fake “enthusiasts” who are only interested in high-performance vehicles (and think that everything else is “boring”).

$233K is cheap as chips when you factor in the amount of love and joy that my child brings into my life everyday.

I totally get that...I was going to get the Milano Red Sport last year, but (wisely) decided to buy a new CR-V EX-L AWD to replace the family vehicle (2003 RAV4L). I’m glad that we did, because since June 2016, we’ve moved from Portland to Dallas, then to Seattle.

Also, while in Dallas, we drove up to Nashville for…

I’m a Dad that’s looking at both of these cars. I recently drove the new 1.5T Sport, loved it! I’ll have to drive the Si to compare the two (but am leaning towards a 2.0T Sport).

Here’s my old rig...Arthur was in our family for a short time, but he will never be forgotten.
