My parents have a minivan. I really don't see the point because:
1. They never take out the seats.
2. I have two younger siblings that live with them (and one of them already has a car).
3. They don't buy a huge amount of items or carry a ton of stuff.
4. The rear bench is scooted all the way back leaving minimal floor space in the back (probably less than their Focus).
Their reasoning is that they need it when they need to shuttle people around for our family get-togethers (which happen about once a month). Personally I think they should just get rid of that POS van and buy a large sedan or something. They're starting to take trips with their other car (Ford Focus) so I guess they're starting to finally see the point that the van is pretty useless.
BTW, if you've ever had your doors dinged by some parent's hyperactive children in a parking lot, you'd know sliding doors have to be one of the best feature of a van.
