Replying to: artgpo (Dec 15, 2007 6:45 am) Aren't we splitting hairs? My '03 Silhouette had the "button" on the "B" post but the transition to the Odyssey was seamless. I was just stating how handy the button is for my specific situation. I thought they were standard on all minivans with power doors - my father's last gen Sienna has em. I found out they're not available from Honda. We weren't counting numbers of ways to open or close the door, but lets see......for my Dodge - outer door handle, inner door handle, driver switch, fob built into actual key (not the dangling one from others), and B pillar button. I think that's 5. Speaking of keys and fobs, the 08 Chryslers don't even have a metal "key", just a fob that plugs into the IP, similar to a BMW or Mercedes, but still not as convenient as a GM/Nissan with push button to start. I also like how Chrysler added button for rear hatch to D pillar (I think Toyota gets credit for this?), along with driver's switch, and the keyfob, not to mention a normal handle. I think that's a total of 4. |

EACH has distinct advantages as has been discussed here over and over again. After owning a 2002 T&C LX and now a 2006 LE, my next minivan will be an Odyssey EX (cloth). I will have to give up the Trip Computer that the T&C and Sienna have  but will appreciate the MORE Comfortable seats for all that are on the Odyssey.

Replying to: hause7 (Dec 15, 2007 1:38 pm)  It's an endless cycle to the bottom of my wallet and depths of insanity. Had my van in Friday for oil change and spoke to a sales person at Golling Dodge north of Detroit. Golling also owns a GMC dealership (Acadia) nearby, and my demented reasoning is they'll give me a better trade in since it's the same owner and they'll just sell it at their Dodge dealership. Seee.....the illness is creeping over me, and it's starting to help me justify a new vehicle. Hellppppppp |

I need help in deciding : - I am getting Ody EX 08 for 399(tax incl) for 36m/15k miles/ zero down (no even 1st month payment)...Is it good? I am debating whether I should spend that kind of money or go for TC /Dodge caravan 08 models for a 27 month lease. What is the competitive rate for leasing those minivans? I have not driven them but their reliability seems to be an issue; we drive 70 miles a day and we live in NE ohio where winters are sometimes little bit harsh. We dont have much leeway at work and hence reliability and maint... Thanks! |

Replying to: viz (Dec 30, 2007 8:36 am) $ 399 / month for 36 months = total outlay $ 14,364 for 3years. Does the $ 399 per month include the taxes?
