How it scores for you10 scores
Stow 'n Go flexibility at clearance-rack pricing, dragged down by dated tech, a thirsty V6, and one of the heaviest complaint files in the class.
Recalled about as often as cars of the same model years; 3 of its 10 recalls were serious. About 4% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -5 points for its wider reputation.
4-star overall NHTSA crash rating (frontal 4, side 5, rollover 4).
About $3,250 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 20% of cars we track.
33 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 33% of other minivans we track.
Seven seats, easy access, and class-defining fold-flat flexibility
283-hp V6 is strong, but numb steering and a soft, dated chassis make it purely an appliance
Small screens and late-2000s electronics; CarPlay never offered
Soft ride and roomy seating; Stow 'n Go chairs are notably thin and flat
Typical resale value for a minivan.
Rated to tow 3,600 lb; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
