You better hurry; at this point, I doubt the dealers have many 2006 models left on the lots! As far as handling, the Dodge will be much more like the Sienna (softer riding but more-numb steering and more "floaty"; a combo many people prefer to the relatively "sporty" or firm Honda). The engines aren't as smooth or powerful as Toyota, Honda, and Nissan however.
Another option, have you considered Nissan Quest? For 2007 they have redesigned the interior, and freshened the exterior.

it's your choice. If one prefers, they can open the sliding doors also when on their way to the vehicle. Nothing works better than all three doors!! My friend tried his tonite...06 Touring...no dice????

I think thegraduate said they can open the WINDOWS in the sliding doors of the Ody with the fob and not the sliding doors themselves. The Odyssey has a much nicer appearing interior than the Chrysler T&C in comparable price ranges and to me (a former T&C owner) the top of the line T&C Limited looks cheap inside compared to an Odyssey Touring.
WHY did DaimlerChrysler let the flagship T&C Limited be outclassed completely by the upstart Honda company?

Honestly? I'd seriously consult the dealer. My aunt has an 05 EX cloth that allows us to roll down the windows in the exact same manner as Accord. Push unlock button, wait 1/2 second then push unlock and hold (must conitnue holding and wait a sec or two before the windows start lowering, to prevent accidental roll-downs).
You can roll down windows AND open the power doors from the remote, in whatever order you choose.

It's not really "outclassed" as evidenced by its sales, but I do think Chrysler let its sales momentum do more work than it should have, while R&D lagged behind. It HAS kept prices low, which is nice!

New Chrysler and Dodge vans are on their way for 2008. By this time next year we'll all be reading the first reports from new owners.#2635 of 3798 Re: Chrysler Vans [1997montez34] by dennisctc

Sounds like they'll cutting edge in many areas...6 spd auto w/overdrive, independent rear, new V6 and roll down windows, heated and cooled cup holders, more flexible stow n go seating (T&C with powering stow n go even).

A friend at work, who owns an Oddy says you can't open your windows with a keyfob as you're stating, only with the Accord and possibly new Civic? The Nissan Quest also lowers the front windows when you hold down the unlock button. And both front windows are auto up/auto down. The slider windows don't go down, but open a good 3-4" longer than the Odyssey or Sienna.

My EX-L will open the windows with the remote. Works as Grad stated....however there may be a catch... If your remote is programmed so that pressing once to unlock driver door/twice to unlock all doors, you'll have to press unlock three times to lower the windows. The third press requires you hold the unlock button and the windows will drop until you release.
I lower the windows if it's just me/wife and we don't need into the 2nd row for anything. You can't drive with the doors open (well you could but that'd be dumb....). So the door method requires you to lower the windows after getting in the car anyway. Unless you like to immediately seal yourself back up in a still relatively hot car. Just my take...
