Cargo space! We went from an Ody to a highlander. I was ready to ditch the minivan, but it was so spacious, and drove really easily (as does the highlander). I wouldn't want to drive one of the big SUVs, but I thought the Ody was easy to maneuver. I'm happy to have better traction (though snow tires would have helped). But space was never an issue with the minivan - now if I cart around kids in the third row, there's no storage. And when the 4 of us go away for a trip longer than a weekend, or with snow stuff, it's tight. But we have a bag for the top of the car, which makes it ok. I am glad not to have the van (don't need sliding doors anymore), but I do miss the spaciousness for the passengers and cargo.
