Minivans

[caseysmom]

I have a 2000 Honda Odyssey, I love it. I am going to buy another one soon, probably a 2007.

The Grand Caravan is very roomy and american cars are often roomier than their japanese counterparts. The Dodge's use to have tranny problems but that seems to be resolved. I say with your military perks on the dodge's you should go for it.

I'd go with the Dodge. Chevy and Ford minivans are sort of "Me too" models, nothing special. There are enough Grand Caravans in the GSA fleet that I've seen get severely abused without problems that I MIGHT trust one (And this is coming from someone who hates Dodge vehicles)

Gee and I detest Fords (Found On Road Dead or Fixed Or Repaired Daily)

I have a 1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager (the same thing as a Caravan) and absolutely have loved it. It has almost 150,000 miles on it and it is still running. I looked at a 2001 Caravan and was impressed. I like the Chrysler products, but, that's just me.

I have a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan and I love it. I actually bought it for the doggies. Since I park in the garage when it's time to take them somewhere I open the door, let them out of the house to jump into the van, close the side door and away we go. Makes it so much easier to take all 5 anywhere.
