You see them everywhere. Happy moms driving cars filled with kids to happy destinations. Drive up and down any randomly chosen residential street and you'll see them parked up and down every block. Head on down to your local car dealership and you'll see this section growing by leaps and bounds every single year. More and more people are using them, demanding them, and more and more car companies are responding by building them.

What in the world am I talking about? Minivans, of course! But you already knew that, didn't you? You see, there's a reason for everything. When a new product enters the market, it's only got so much appeal. If the manufacturer is lucky, it will become a fad and then sell like hot cakes. But only if there are lasting reasons behind everybody's desire to use it will it become a mainstay of the economy. And that is exactly what has happened to the minivan. Why? Let's find out.

First of all, they are very roomy. Have you ever tried to take more than a couple kids somewhere? Your car fills up quick, especially if you're going somewhere that they've got to use a bunch of stuff. But when you've got a minivan, you've got more than enough space. Not only do you have room for all the kids, but you can load up their stuff as well.

Another reason these are so popular is they get pretty good gas mileage. Because you aren't going to be towing a boat or going off roading, you don't need a monstrous engine that eats up gallons of gas by the minute. You can get by just fine with a fuel efficient engine, and many of them are coming out in hybrid mode. That's why people are flocking to these, particularly with gas prices so high.

Of course, safety is always and issue, and always a concern. That's another reason people love these cars. With advanced airbag technology, the passengers are as safe as they'd be in a Sherman tank. Of course, we wouldn't recommend going out and crashing into stuff, but in case you get into an accident, it's a safe bet that as long as everybody is wearing their seatbelts, any injuries will be minimal.

These are just some of the reasons why more people just like you are getting their favorite minivan today. You'll probably discover more reasons of your own after you get one yourself. Why not get one today?
