There is only like 3 manufactures that still make mini-vans. I think it's Dodge, Honda and I forget the third. Everything is a crossover now. I'd take a freestyle over a mini-van anyday. A mini-van is a terrible vehicle to work on!

A crossover suv slash car kind of like a station wagon
BUT for 08 they changed the look and name now its called the Tauras X
and the Ford 500 was changed for 08 (looks) and now called the Tauras again so they brought it back they really look pretty good for a sedan

Sliding doors have a lot more problems than double doors. My family has had 3 full size vans and 1 mini-van. The first two had sliding doors and they both wore out. You had to slam the door like 5 times to get it to latch. Finally when they got the 3rd van a sliding door wasn't an option. This one has the double side doors and haven't had a single problem with it and it offers just as much loading room.
The newer mini-vans are a little better since the power assist takes over minimizing force required but if you damage that track slightly good luck getting that door to open or close.
