Damn that mispronounciation tiggered me. Its a french car, so "hurr lets pronounce it like its italian" No offense james, but when researching cars, you could at least watch some videos where people pronounce the name of it
I have a 1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager. My parents bought it new, I learned how to work on cars fixing it with my stepdad, and when my stepdad passed away 5 years ago I inherited it. It has 434,000 miles. It has Eibach Lowering Springs, Koni adjustable shocks and struts, the complete suspension off a 2007 T&C AWD(bigger brakes and lighter axles/spindles), upgraded sway bars, leather and suede T&C interior, 3 way active stereo with a DSP, 100lbs of sound deadening. Next step is to swap a 3.0L twin turbo out of a 3000GT VR4, a 5 speed A543 transmission, and the AWD system. Should all bolt right in.
I sold Ford's for about 4 years. I actually told customers that were looking at the Transit Connect for a family van, the Odyssey was way better if you want some luxury, comfort and some performance. Not that many families were looking at the Connect. I'm a Ford guy through and through, but I know family vans are not a Ford strong point. Didn't cost me sales since my honesty always got me referrals.
Why isn't the Toyota Previa on the list? In comparison to almost any other car on this list except the MVP, the Privia actually made it into mass production!
Day 5 of: I had this idea-Donut media should give Aaron a show on how to drive and stuff. Like drifting techniques, manual, J Turns, etc. I think it would be a really cool show to make and bring Aaron in
I had a mini van, and I loved it. It was a Chrysler Town and Country LXI. It had a 3.8ltr fuel injected V6, leather seats, and an Infinity sound system.
A minivan was the first vehicle I drove. Love them. We never had a truck so the minivan played double duty so much cargo capacity. Honestly have no idea why more people don't have minivans
There's a cool van that I think would have made a good honorable mention. In an episode of Top Gear the Top Gear crew competed with their Australian counterparts, and at one point they raced worker vehicles. Hammond was behind the wheel of a van, and then got the shock of his life when it took off like a fricken rocket because someone had stuck a Jaguar engine in it.
Surprised to not see the official “Drift Van”, the Toyota Previa, on this list. The rear wheel drive train plus the manual shifting makes it a JDM monster on turns.
There isn't any Odyssey left on it, just the outer tin shell. Nothing cool about a regular Odyssey, didn't even have siding side doors which is one of the best features of a minivan. This list wasn't for modified vans
Savage Jesus I You will find me at he highest peak, of the tallest mountain in all the land. There, before The Glory of Honda, we will settle the score once and for all. Two coupes will stand, until but only one will remain.

@@myrmeko VW's 1.8t was HOT GARBAGE. Seriously. The turbo oiling system was so gods awful, that If you didn't perform maintenance SOONER than was recommended, a filter/sensor would get sludge in it and throw the car into limp mode. How to fix it? Well you could go in blindly and hope you could coathanger the gunk out and MAYBE it would not go into limp for a few hundred miles. Otherwise, you pretty much had to remove the entire engine and tear it down. Truly SAE certified. (Suck Ass Engine)
Special vans are rare & unique like : Oscar Meyer MPV VAN - Winner mobile (not sure why it was not included ?) Brabus Vito ? anyone travelling in Lufthansa bussinness class must know about those.. ok, obviously pass.. Porsche also had an secret full electric Mini-VAN that was pretty radical but since it was so secret yeah it explains why is not mentioned in this list since not many people know about it.. but then are the impressive : Transits SUPERVANS presented all generations at TopGear show ?! So why aren't any of those in this list ? and the most recent PRO electric Transit-e super-van unveil at Goodwood festival this year any-one ? silence A'murica when is about a Ford ? Yeah.. ok got it ! Still though, any could be at least named here as honorific mention.. but is Donut show..
The Nissan Quest also used the “350Z engine”, as did the Nissan Altima, Maxima, Murano, Pathfinder, along with a ton of Infiniti models that I can’t be bothered to list.
First one sounds quite self-centred Second would just be... showing regular cars that appeared in NFS games, which is a lot of cars Third wouldn't work very well, as there weren't actually that many cars in the anime and would mean going through the manga, and, again, it would mostly be just listing cars that coincidentally appeared in this franchise
had a 04 Kia Sedona for a while. it was damn quick for what it was. Drove it like I was embarrassed to be seen in it for years and never gave me any problems. I miss it sometimes.
In high school my buddy Aaron had a Chevy Astrovan. He drove it every place putting over 60,000mi on it un under two years. The motor blew the rear main seal at a yime when we had a convertable IROC Z in my friend Eddies field that had been wrecked and was totaled. What was good however was the motor, 5spd trans, the locked diff, the Bride seats and an uncracked dash. We also had two extra sets of identical grey Bride seats. It was a lot of work. We actually had to install a roof top air intake vent, mount 4 tiny Honda radiators and electric fans in a compartment we made in the roof of the van to replace the one original. So the TPI 305ci Bow Tie motor with now a 5speed Getreg trans with overdrive sat in the van. The engine cover had hols cut in it with plexiglass put in those holes to show off the ported and highly polished TPI intake, chrome valve covers, giant acell distributor, individual coil packs sitting on a rail system along side the giant Holley 850cfm injectors using an aftermarket Holley ECU system and a bolt on accessory belt driven Paxton supercharger pushing air into the oversize Cadillac STS throttle body.finally that locked rear axle was installed, a tunnel for the drive shaft cut into and formed in the van floor. Most of the suspension parts were taken from and adapted of of a C3 Corvette with custom made 25mm sway bars a d 30mm strut tower cross braces. The limited edition Z28 IROC Z digital dash was cut and modified to fit the narrower body Astrovan. A letter written to B&M about the project got us an engineered shift handle that was 2 1/2 foot tall shifter handle that felt like an ultra short throw shifter and the center trans hump tray from the Z28 was adapted to some custom formed fiberglass added to two more center trays and ran from front to 3/4 the length of the van. That was once all 6 Bride sport bucket seats were installed everyone had a drink holder, change dispenser, trip computer and timer, window controls and arm rest. We painted the van from its silver with silver trim to a Blue/Grey/Purple Sparkle with flat black trim. We altered that pointy Astro front end a bit to make it look more shark like. Adapted the pop up headlights from C4 to the front to help insure it looked like a C4. Now it looked like a Makoshark C4 Astrovett!
My moms 2003 Honda Odyssey is the best ever, shes had since it came out and she still uses it. Comfortable and spacious unless you stuff it with 8 people.
Now imagine if Honda or Renault made another Espace F1, but this time with the current 1.6L turbo-hybrid F1 engines (seeing that both Honda and Renault participate in F1). Honda could shove one into the Odyssey and Renault could shove their engine into the...uh...uhhh....I don't know Renault's lineup that well. Now granted, this would quite literally be impossible because Mercedes are already struggling with their Project One. Oh, and Mercedes could also shove their 1.6 litre into the V-Class when they're done with the Project One to make the #MinivanMasterRace

I had a 99 safari. Awd with 3:91 gears. That thing was a beast in the snow! Also would put a hurt on the ricer crowd from stoplight to stoplight. All the while holding whatever i could fit in it. The only problem was the wife. She liked sharp turns in parking lots. It would do strange stuff to the t case and front end. Sold it with over 200k on the clock for a suburban. Still have the burb.
@@ericvoge6678 3.91s? All I've ever heard of is 3.42, 3.73, and very rarely 4.10s. 3.91 is a Mopar ratio, generally. If they made them, though, cool! Yeah, they run forever and are handy as a pocket on a shirt, I love them. I'm sorta toying with the idea of building one with an aluminum LS V8 and a six-speed, because I'm insane.

I drove a boxy 90s Dodge Caravan in high school. As an artist and musician, it was like the perfect car for me at the time. Plenty of room for instruments, pottery, paintings, supplies, etc. And it was super easy to pop off the trip pieces and upgrade the audio system. Not gonna lie, I kinda want another one just to build a rolling high end audio experience since I can actually afford some things now. Plus, plenty of room for friends back when hanging out was a thing.
The editing, memes, commentary and overall style of this show never fails to make me laugh. Also over here in the UK we call our trash recepticles "Wheely Bins" :)
espace, espache? since when Renault is italian, the last time that i check was french, so the pronunciation more or less like s-pass, espass , and the centurion is a full size van truck,, or full size pick up, cuz 'murica . your writers are losing it. or they do it to increase engagement, next time, on best compact car 1971 imperial lebaron

I agree with you on the 350 Centurion! The first time I saw one of those at an RV park, I wanted one. What a great way to pull your fifth wheel! Yeah, the mpg sucks, but a super comfortable way to travel from site to site.

Best minivan is actually a truck..
America Level: 9001
A and not even a mini-truck; a full-size van with a bed.
Trucks don't have 3 row seating
@@Pepsey-gi3lh I don't think vans have an open bed either
It's a truck-van, that's what it is. The limousine of truck world
cuz 'murica
@@Pepsey-gi3lh my 96' Suburban has 3rd row seating. Before you say "It's NOT a Truck", it not only share's the same platform as Pickup trucks. But on my Passenger Side Barn Door, it says "GMC Truck." Argue all you want. But i've got a right to call it a truck, and it has 3 row seating.
Mistubishi Space Star with the Evo engine was pretty cool too.
Renault Avantime is a coupe minivan, which also has the 350Z engine inside.
bruh google 4g63 and you find that "evo engine" is very common
@@lahtine876 Yeah, i know. It's as overused as VW's 1.8T.
Are they both bad engines just because they were used in everything? No.
Does that make the Space Star less cool? Also no.
@@myrmeko VW's 1.8t was HOT GARBAGE.
Seriously. The turbo oiling system was so gods awful, that If you didn't perform maintenance SOONER than was recommended, a filter/sensor would get sludge in it and throw the car into limp mode.
How to fix it? Well you could go in blindly and hope you could coathanger the gunk out and MAYBE it would not go into limp for a few hundred miles.
Otherwise, you pretty much had to remove the entire engine and tear it down.
Truly SAE certified.

Special vans are rare & unique like : Oscar Meyer MPV VAN - Winner mobile (not sure why it was not included ?) Brabus Vito ? anyone travelling in Lufthansa bussinness class must know about those.. ok, obviously pass.. Porsche also had an secret full electric Mini-VAN that was pretty radical but since it was so secret yeah it explains why is not mentioned in this list since not many people know about it.. but then are the impressive : Transits SUPERVANS presented all generations at TopGear show ?! So why aren't any of those in this list ? and the most recent PRO electric Transit-e super-van unveil at Goodwood festival this year any-one ? silence A'murica when is about a Ford ? Yeah.. ok got it ! Still though, any could be at least named here as honorific mention.. but is Donut show..
The Nissan Quest also used the “350Z engine”, as did the Nissan Altima, Maxima, Murano, Pathfinder, along with a ton of Infiniti models that I can’t be bothered to list.

D-list:
10 best up to speed episodes
15 best NFS cars
15 best initial D cars
El nino
Aka
55 corvette with more balls than a lambo
First one sounds quite self-centred
Second would just be... showing regular cars that appeared in NFS games, which is a lot of cars
Third wouldn't work very well, as there weren't actually that many cars in the anime and would mean going through the manga, and, again, it would mostly be just listing cars that coincidentally appeared in this franchise
I can't see any of these working at all tbh
Better idea. Top 10 smol bois what's that? Simple it's a list of the best small cars from Minis to Peels doesn't matter as long as it's small.

Everybody gangsta till me and the boys pull up in our f1 minivan
In high school my buddy Aaron had a Chevy Astrovan. He drove it every place putting over 60,000mi on it un under two years. The motor blew the rear main seal at a yime when we had a convertable IROC Z in my friend Eddies field that had been wrecked and was totaled. What was good however was the motor, 5spd trans, the locked diff, the Bride seats and an uncracked dash. We also had two extra sets of identical grey Bride seats. It was a lot of work. We actually had to install a roof top air intake vent, mount 4 tiny Honda radiators and electric fans in a compartment we made in the roof of the van to replace the one original. So the TPI 305ci Bow Tie motor with now a 5speed Getreg trans with overdrive sat in the van. The engine cover had hols cut in it with plexiglass put in those holes to show off the ported and highly polished TPI intake, chrome valve covers, giant acell distributor, individual coil packs sitting on a rail system along side the giant Holley 850cfm injectors using an aftermarket Holley ECU system and a bolt on accessory belt driven Paxton supercharger pushing air into the oversize Cadillac STS throttle body.finally that locked rear axle was installed, a tunnel for the drive shaft cut into and formed in the van floor. Most of the suspension parts were taken from and adapted of of a C3 Corvette with custom made 25mm sway bars a d 30mm strut tower cross braces. The limited edition Z28 IROC Z digital dash was cut and modified to fit the narrower body Astrovan. A letter written to B&M about the project got us an engineered shift handle that was 2 1/2 foot tall shifter handle that felt like an ultra short throw shifter and the center trans hump tray from the Z28 was adapted to some custom formed fiberglass added to two more center trays and ran from front to 3/4 the length of the van. That was once all 6 Bride sport bucket seats were installed everyone had a drink holder, change dispenser, trip computer and timer, window controls and arm rest. We painted the van from its silver with silver trim to a Blue/Grey/Purple Sparkle with flat black trim. We altered that pointy Astro front end a bit to make it look more shark like. Adapted the pop up headlights from C4 to the front to help insure it looked like a C4.
Now it looked like a Makoshark C4 Astrovett!
My moms 2003 Honda Odyssey is the best ever, shes had since it came out and she still uses it. Comfortable and spacious unless you stuff it with 8 people.
Every van on this list = The Disneyland Monorail/The JDM Disneyland Monorail
Missed opportunity: have the inside of James box say "Lightning! Lightning! Lightning!" and have nolans box say "Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!"
My mom had a Mazda MPV and I absolutely loved it. It was spacious, comfy, and handled great. IMO best mini van ever.
Renault ESPA"CH"E 😅
Now imagine if Honda or Renault made another Espace F1, but this time with the current 1.6L turbo-hybrid F1 engines (seeing that both Honda and Renault participate in F1). Honda could shove one into the Odyssey and Renault could shove their engine into the...uh...uhhh....I don't know Renault's lineup that well. Now granted, this would quite literally be impossible because Mercedes are already struggling with their Project One. Oh, and Mercedes could also shove their 1.6 litre into the V-Class when they're done with the Project One to make the #MinivanMasterRace
I like your funny words magic man!!
And... the new Telsa Model S Plaid is 6/10 s quicker on 0-60.....
@Stratis Thursday, the youtube channel vilebrequin said that they would make a 1000hp fiat multipla
Some dude in France are building another Espace F1 replica with a v10 from Audi.
And some others will build a 1000hp multipla
@@avasolaris1 And... 3 things:
1. I have no clue what you're trying to say, I never mentioned 0-60 times anywhere in my comment
2. If you're the person who just cares about stats and 0-60 times, gtfo
3. Do we really care about a Tesla Model S being faster to 60? Imagine driving down the freeway in your silent Model S only to see a screaming V10 Renault Espace with a bodykit and a giant wing going past you

Duude, war hero here, ok, I was broken not defeated when they ran out of pecan pralines at the dining facility in Kandahar. Anyways, want u to know my spirit animal, my true love are minivans. They’re comfortable, practical, and multipurpose. In college I slept in my town and country plus moved all of my dorm crap. I luv love looove them!
Hey James, it’s called espace because espace means space in french, you pronounce it éspasssse (im french btw)

Man, I LOVED my Astro/Safari vans. I wish clean ones with low miles could still be found for not a million bucks, the AWD ones are just the greatest camping/general-purpose rigs ever. Shoulda definitely made the list.
I had a 99 safari. Awd with 3:91 gears. That thing was a beast in the snow! Also would put a hurt on the ricer crowd from stoplight to stoplight. All the while holding whatever i could fit in it. The only problem was the wife. She liked sharp turns in parking lots. It would do strange stuff to the t case and front end. Sold it with over 200k on the clock for a suburban. Still have the burb.
@@ericvoge6678 3.91s? All I've ever heard of is 3.42, 3.73, and very rarely 4.10s. 3.91 is a Mopar ratio, generally. If they made them, though, cool! Yeah, they run forever and are handy as a pocket on a shirt, I love them. I'm sorta toying with the idea of building one with an aluminum LS V8 and a six-speed, because I'm insane.
5:47 - He pronounces a French word like a Spanish one and then says it sounds like an Italian one. It’s like one of those memes with wrong quotes and pictures meant to be as infuriating as possible. Personally I loved it.
i feel like the bisimoto honda odyssey 2010 should've been on this list. 1000hp on a minivan like cmon
And what about boosted Boiz odyssey that’s actually making the power and awd? 😏 bisi van aint shit tbh
@@zethloveless7238 Bisi didn't make van for racing, though. He just made a really dumb daily minivan, with full amenities, that anyone can drive
Its not a stock one so not included
@@the911collection to my knowledge it is technically stock since bisimoto released it with 1000 hp, same concept applies with the F1 van wasn't "stock" but got a shout out
@@zethloveless7238 i mean it's a van you can burn rubber and do donuts, its not sensible, it has a 1000hp its just for fun

Love the van content ! Let’s hope vans and wagons appear more often
This top is for MPV & VAN that are actually Sick right ?! OK so i just ask, why these are not included ? Special vans which are rare & unique like : Oscar Meyer MPV VAN - Winner mobile (not sure why it was not included i hear was licensed by Hott-Wheels so that alone should be a cool fact right ?!!) ok.. Brabus - Vito ? anyone taking flights with Lufthansa across Europe in 1st bussinness class must know about those since Brabus Vito are like bussinness - jets on wheels baby.. well ok, obviously pass and move on.. Porsche also had a secret full electric Mini-VAN that was pretty radical but since it was so secret yeah it explains why is not even mentioned in this list since not many people know about it.. but then are the super impressive Ford 's : Transit's SUPERVAN'S presented all 3 yeah Three !!! different generations at TopGear show ?!! So why aren't any of those in this list ? and finally the cherry on top the most recent badass van boosted with more than 1900 electric horses not pnnies : the PRO electric Transit-e super-van (yeah again a Ford) unveil at Goodwood festival this year any-one?.. no one ?!! totally silence in A'murica when is about a Ford ?!! Yeah.. ok got it ! Still though, pity since any could be at least named here as honorific mention.. but i totally get it.. is the Donut show rules.. ;0)
I drove a boxy 90s Dodge Caravan in high school. As an artist and musician, it was like the perfect car for me at the time. Plenty of room for instruments, pottery, paintings, supplies, etc. And it was super easy to pop off the trip pieces and upgrade the audio system. Not gonna lie, I kinda want another one just to build a rolling high end audio experience since I can actually afford some things now. Plus, plenty of room for friends back when hanging out was a thing.

every minivan is awesome. they can fit everything and usually more than a truck and no one asks you to help them move
espace, espache?
since when Renault is italian, the last time that i check was french, so the pronunciation more or less like s-pass, espass ,
and the centurion is a full size van truck,, or full size pick up, cuz 'murica .

How to make a cOoL van:
-make it look like the monorail train from Disneyland.
Who ever said minivans were not good. I mean they killed the estate but they are practical and great tbh
I mean killed is a strong word. It's not dead yet, vw still sells em. So does volvo, I'm pretty sure. I mean volvo wouldn't be volvo without an estate somewhere in thier lineup.
Number 1 is probably one of the largest, least “mini” vans I’ve ever seen.
4:54 Looks like a *1970 Tesla Cybertruck...* but not electric.
Your editor is EPIC!!!
The Previa/Estima and the aftermarket scene weren't mentioned! D:
Yeah I was real suprised I thought for sure the previa would be mentioned, it being mid engined and all
