Stow 'n Go seating is genuinely brilliant, fold the second row flat into the floor and suddenly you're hauling plywood sheets where car seats used to be. The interior space embarrasses most three-row SUVs, and it drives better than any minivan has a right to. But auxiliary batteries die with alarming frequency, transmissions have failed at 24,000 miles, and electrical gremlins will put you on a first-name basis with your service advisor. Owners either adore theirs after 150,000 miles or regret it after 30,000, there's almost no middle ground. If you're buying used, budget for an extended warranty. If you need the utility and can stomach the risk, nothing else in the segment offers this combination of space and versatility.
This retro-styled electric van turns heads everywhere it goes, owners report constant waves and compliments, but the charm comes with a 220 km winter highway range that makes it strictly a city-and-suburbs machine. The interior space is legitimately massive (three real rows, sliding doors, removable seats), and early buyers who snagged $20k dealer discounts down to $48-55k seem genuinely thrilled. At the original $70k+ sticker it was overpriced; at current pricing it's a quirky but workable trade if you charge at home and rarely road-trip. Skip it if you need genuine long-distance capability. Buy it if you want a joyful family hauler that makes the school run feel like an event.
