Re: recommend your Minivan please

Several people I know have and rave about the Chrysler Town & Country. My friend hated the idea of getting a minivan over a new SUV, but now she says she can't believe she ever lived without it.

Same here, never thought I'd want a minivan, but now that we have one, I'm totally spoiled with all the room DD has to stretch her legs AND all the room we have to cart stuff all over the place (we do road trips quite a bit so we pack that thing out!)

We have a Town & Country, it's great, no complaints at all.

I love my Honda Odyssey!!!!!!



Me too!! We recently bought a certified pre-owned 2005 LX. When I picked it up I swear it looked brand new. We went to PS Honda in Manhasset.

Love all the room.

Re: recommend your Minivan please

My brother has the Chrysler Town and Country and loves it. Friends of ours got the Toyota Sienna and love it.

I never wanted to drive one but recently spent the day driving around in my brother's and it is extremely comfortable and SO much easier getting the kids in and out of.

I definitely see the appeal of them.

Have fun shopping!!!

Re: recommend your Minivan please

Love our Odyssey. We got it last October, it was a great deal since they were getting rid of the '08s. We got it for under blue book value. We also test drove the Sienna & liked the way the Odyssey drove better. I wasn't a fan of the wood grain on the dashboard in the Sienna. We didn't look at the Chrysler. Some family members have had bad experiences with the reliability of the brand and I didn't like the look of it. 4 other moms in our playgroup have the Odyssey and love it too.

To get the model with the options we wanted (GPS, sunroof, dvd player, leather seats), they only had ones with wood grain. Maybe the dealer we were at didn't know what he was talking about. It wasn't the only deciding factor. We liked the Odyssey better for other reasons. Our salesguy at Honda was amazing too, so that helped too. The Sienna is still a great minivan. We just preferred the Odyssey. Chat Icon
