#1 of 2361 We know it is coming by stevensoriano Nov 25, 1999 (10:34 pm)
My lease on the 98 Venture is coming up soon. There is no van out there today that tickles me. (INCLUDING the Odyssey) Any news on the Chrysler vans due this fall?
#2 of 2361 Why..... by wis9 Nov 26, 1999 (1:06 am)
would you want ot go down a step in reliability! I'll bet that Chrysler will have a bad first year of production with the new vans, in terms of problems. I'll bet some things that will be on them will be power sliding doors which every company had there bad first years with those, new engines, VCR edition, hopefully new transmissions, and probably some new things they can come out with. PS=====I own a 1998 Chevy Venture LS with 39300 miles on it and it has been a great van!
#3 of 2361 My Venture is also been good. by stevensoriano Nov 26, 1999 (8:00 pm)
We only have about 29k on our 98 Venture and it has been great. But, we want to move upscale, and keep the built-in child seats. Uhm...2001 T&C?

Visit www.4adodge.com,and no v-8 just the 3.5 300M engine.
#6 of 2361 2001 Chrysler minivans by heimy Feb 10, 2000 (5:40 pm)
I was all set to buy a 2000, but was a little leery of the relative lack of horsepower compared to their competitors. The 2001's take care of that problem. I don't know that they're changing all that much on them, i.e. is may not be the redesign disaster that "wis9" talks about. It looks more like a tweaking of engine and tranny, plus some body side appearance stuff. At this point, I'm waiting until August to see how the 2001's look and ride.

Be smart,and buy the 2001!
#8 of 2361 Power ? by jpotoff Feb 12, 2000 (7:52 am)
I had this concern about the horsepower of the minivan until I: a. realized that I'm not going to be towing or drag racing with the thing and b. I drove one of the 3.3L equipped T+Cs and it had plenty of zip to merge in traffic. From my perspective, it wasn't even worth the extra green to get the 3.8L. I certainly did not feel 22hp worth of difference between the two when I test drove them. Quite frankly, I think this mini-van horsepower race is based more on manipulation of people's egos instead of legitimate performance concerns.

You'll only notice and appreciate the power difference when you're on the highway, towing or climbing hills. With the new '01 minivans I think the performance increase is justified. DC is now the minivan power king with 230hp (a 50hp boost from this year's 3.8L 180hp), yet all the engines are getting at least 1 mpg better fuel economy.
#10 of 2361 torque? by swampcollie Feb 17, 2000 (3:09 am)
what is the torque change? I really believe that is what is important. And if you look, the 3.8 had more torque than the odyssey the last 2 years. jpotoff: I drove a 3.3 for 7 years and was very happy with the reliability and power, what it lacked was torque. shifted down on hills. my 99 has the 3.8 and that problem is solved. the 3.3 is really a nice engine though. I never had a moments problem with it.
