#1427 of 7485 Can of Worms by mitchs3

Well I did open up the can when I asked for help choosing either the Odyssey or Town and Country. What is most important is reliability over the comforts, though the latter is important. We have placed a order for 2003 Odyssey EX-L without yet driving because none of the dealers have one to drive. If only Honda will come out with a more luxurious SE model this coming year (2003)...Or perhaps an Acura badged version...No one has given me compelling reason to retry another Chrysler after all the trouble my 97 Town/country has given me....

Reliability most important get Odyssey. Love 2001 Odyssey now has 15,700 miles no problems. Odyssey most room, Magic Seat most luggage space, most power, almost best mileage. Don't need all extra feature on Chrysler minivan.#1429 of 7485 Get the Odyssey Mitchs3 by steeleng

If only for purely psychological reasons. If you purchase a DC van it will have to perform flawlessly in every way or you will end up with a bad case of buyers remorse thinking that you should have bought the Honda. On the other hand, if you buy the Honda and it breaks down you can always comfort yourself by saying "at least it is better than a DC."

I also recently purchased a Honda 2002 EX-L. This van drives great. It is quick, responsive and very comfortable (the leather looks and feels great). I traded in a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I never even looked at the Chrysler vans. I personally feel that they are overpriced, cheaply built and have horrible resale value. Also, the folding third seat is a feature that can not be overlooked. You made a good choice.#1431 of 7485 Chrysler vans overpriced? by ody01

Not compared to Odyssey, Windstar, GM, or Sienna. Smaller Sienna most overpriced minivan cost thousands more than Odyssey or Chrysler. Friend 02 Chrysler T&C more feature my 2001 Odyssey EX $3000 less sticker price. Odyssey Magic Seat, most space luggage, most power, suspected high resale reason got Odyssey and not Chrysler.#1432 of 7485 Where the heck is Carleton? by mrnimmo

He must have blown a tranny. Let me fill in for him, "Chryslers are obviously superior in that they have a much more plush armrest. And the trannies were fixed in 89, 94, and 98. There are no problems since those years, no matter what any of those consumer groups say. And all the Accords in my neighborhood suck."#1434 of 7485 Carleton... by calg

Some think Ody01 is Carleton... he showed up around the time Carleton stopped posting. I'm not sure, but some of what Ody01 says sure does "channel" Carleton-isms!#1435 of 7485 Re: Carleton by dave210

Well, if Ody01 is Carleton, I suggest he go back to writing in complete sentences. Ody01's fragmented senteces are killing me!#1436 of 7485 Goats and fragmented english by hersbird
