2010 Volkswagen Routan

Base MSRP $25,900

The Routan appeals to minivan buyers who want a little more style and verve in their family hauler. In addition to clean VW design cues inside and out, the Routan has a suspension that's tuned more for crisp handling than ride comfort compared to the Chrysler minivans on which it's based. With its 4.0-liter engine, the Routan is also one of the most fuel-efficient minivans available, with an EPA highway estimate of 25 mpg.
