I see so many Caravans around, including some very old ones on the road. But then the Odyssey has Honda quality just like the Previa has Toyota quality. I really like the looks of the Mazda 5. Maybe there's an even better one that I'm overlooking (Hyundai? Kia?) that will deliver on quality, comfort, and gas mileage?
If you want a bigger one, then the Odyssey gets the best reviews. Some people still think the Sienna is better so I think it is a toss up - although rear crash test is not as good for the Sienna. American minivans get poor quality ratings overall.
I have the Odyssey and it is excellent - other than I find the driver and passenger seats a bit wide and flat. I think they should be better on a vehicle built for long trips. It is pricey though so I guess you get what you pay for.
If you can live with a 5+2 (like the Mazda) then I can't help you as I only researched the 7 and 8 passenger ones.
Here is a great review on the Odyssey: http://bit.ly/2uqFyA
We own a Toyota Sienna. It is wonderful.
If you do compare the Toyota and Honda minivans, make sure you sit in the middle row and recline the seats. That is one odd thing about ours - the seats recline a bit, but it is not a natural fit to your back. Very uncomfortable. These seats fold up but do not 'stow-and-go'. Ours is a 2009. Rear seats to stow away.
Get whatever has a VTEC
Why? I like cams. Much more reliable. And when they do break (if) much cheaper to replace. Also, just makes me feel safe knowing a short circuit won't blow up my engine.
