even though mods are available for the alphard (a friend of mine spent over 200k on his, the suspension and chasis is so hard that the interior starts to rattle), I wouldnt spend so much on a family car, just for the reason of right value system for the kids. ???????

the only car that pushes me on highway is the previa (and I aint going slow)!

yeah Previa is a good car to drive, but the stepwgn 2.4 is better on corners that is.
but for overall the Previa wins with loads of space and good car to drive.

ET if you what some thing that feels soild and less body roll these 2 are the best.

Agree, but the stepwagon is a little underpower. For me i will sure needs 3.5 V6 28oPS going up Cotton Tree Road.
