After a Town&Country and a Sienna we know our next will be another Sienna, we love ours. All of the vans have pluses and minuses and we look at them different. I agree with hansienna.

I got the new car bug really bad these past few weeks, and the North American Auto Show starting in Jan may push me to the edge. In the past few months I've driven the Acadia, Enclave, T&C and Ody. I'd rather a minivan but the extra towing capacity of the CUVs is enticing (so I can then go out and buy a larger camper to tow 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 drove one a few times back in 05 with the last redesign. My father has an 03 that's been great for him. I did stop at a Toyota dealership in Holly MI this week but only grabbed a brochure on the Sienna and Highlander (5000lb tow capacity). I didn't have time to drive anything. When I get more time, I'll swing by and try it.

The GM CUV's have a 4500lb towing capacity with the trailering package whcih includes the hitch. As for the sienna and T&C/Caravan each have a 3500lb towing capacity with traileringing pacakges, no hitches, but the T&C/Caravan are the only minivans avaibale with self leveling shocks. If look at the seinna forums, most people who tow install airbags in the springs.

It's worth another look for the new 3.5l engine alone. I truly believe it's the best engine in minivan-dom.

Which one? by viz
Dec 30, 2007 (8:36 am)
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!

2008 Ody EX for $ 399 / month with NO up front money looks like a good deal. Most leases require 6 to 11 months EXTRA $$$$ up front to make the monthly payments artificially low.
 
$ 399 / month for 36 months = total outlay $ 14,364 for 3years.
 
Does the $ 399 per month include the taxes?

What would be the price if you paid cash for the Ody EX 08?

Perception is not always reality, if you look at the Honda forum on issues, you'd be concerned about an Ody even. There are many happy Dodge owners, many repeat buyers for decades. I suggest you go drive a Dodge first, since you haven't yet.
