Just took in our odyssey today for hail damage repair. Rental is a Dodge Grand Caravan. Hate it. Feels like a box. Feels underpowered. Blind spots everywhere. Annoying controls. My first van was a 1991 Dodge Caravan (Cargo). I loved it. Not liking the newer ones.

How dare you.

ETA: When I first decided I should look at vans, I was looking at the Honda Odysseys. I couldn't find one for a decent price. Even beat to crap dealers still wanted something like $18,000-$22,000. I bought the same year caravan for $8,000 (and probably still overpaid). In the end, I think the Caravan has a less soccer mom and more professional look. That only mattered to me because I was using it for business though.

Not according to us Sienna Owners.

But, We're not as rabid as those Taco guys are . Especially the crossover ones

[ray1970]

The Sienna is like the Tacoma of the mini van world. It?s what Irving really wishes he owned.

AWD would definitely make my van better, but then it'd get Suburban mpg and I might as well just buy a Tahoe.

With the way you drive, I don't believe that for a second.
