Some of you may remember the most recent IFCAR comparison that I posted here (small SUVs), and here is an examination of 7-passenger family vehicles:

The comparison itself should be complete, let me know if you find errors either in content or with the site. If you see dead or misdirected links, formatting or spelling errors, or inaccurate statements, please let me know immediately. The web site as a whole is in the middle of a half-completed redesign, and some information on other pages may be out of date.
If you have questions, please ask. If you disagree with anything, please bring it up for an INTELLIGENT debate (IE not "Well, I thought this should have been in first place, so you're wrong" or "this is unusual, so it's wrong", and please, no personal insults). The ranking order isn't everything, please read the explanations (the first and last paragraphs of each review page) if you'd like to say anything pertinent.
One thing that I probably can't make clear enough: the point of the comparison is not to say necessarily that one vehicle is better than another. It only ranks how they fulfill a specific role. Sometimes that is because the car was designed poorly, and other times it's because the car wasn't designed to fit that role. In the latter case, that is not an indictment of the car, just a recommendation against buying it for use as a family car.
For those who made it through all of that text, here's the link again:

If this is the first time you've come across an IFCAR comparison, you can check out the others

That should cover everything, so enjoy!
