I would also advise to stay the hell away from the Chryslers and VW. A friend's Caravan was so bad that he traded it in mid-vacation for a Honda Pilot.

We have a 2012 Nissan Quest LE as our family truckster, so far so good at 65k. I'm not a huge CVT fan but it's acceptable with the V6. Interior is nicer than the Honda or Toyota and they are cheaper.

Lee's suggestion of the Mazda5 is a good one, we had a 2013 Grand Touring model before the Quest. They are cheap, fun to drive, easy to park, get nearly 30 MPG, and can be had with a stick. Plenty of room for two dogs. I wish we hadn't outgrown ours.
