Replying to: ateixeira (Feb 06, 2008 7:53 am) Four GOOD minivan choices (listed alphabetically): Grand Caravan, Odyssey, Sienna, Town & Country. Each has advantages:  Grand Caravan: MOST features for the lowest cost and fold into the floor 2nd row seats. Odyssey: MOST comfortable seats in all 3 rows and best designed dash to prevent glare. Sienna: MOST horsepower and most cargo area behind 3rd row seat. Town & Country: Close 2nd to Grand Caravan for the most features for the lowest cost and fold into the floor 2nd row seats.

Replying to: hansienna (Feb 06, 2008 8:38 am) So the question is, why lose the lifetime warranty only to get poor VW service?

Replying to: ateixeira (Feb 06, 2008 8:47 am) Maybe the quality of the interior and the driving dynamics, if better, are worth it to some people.

Replying to: dennisctc (Feb 06, 2008 12:06 pm)  Let's see if they change any of the driving dynamics, that's a good point. It's already very quiet, so maybe they'll just try to tune it to be more sporty. |

Replying to: ateixeira (Feb 06, 2008 8:47 am) Answer: Too many American consumers are TOO STUPID to do any research. Believe it or not, some American consumers think European brand vehicles  are superior to American or Japanese brands.  My nephew got a VW Jetta AFTER I warned him that Volkswagens are unreliable and Volkswagen dealer service is usually incompetant. After his VW Jetta broke down on the freeway, he got a new Toyota Corolla, and feels the same way I do about Volkswagens .

Replying to: artgpo (Feb 06, 2008 2:31 pm) Ohhh there's plenty of "legitimate complaints" to go around here....horror tales from Toyota, Honda and Chrysler owners. If one went by the comments on this board "Which One" would be thinking of just taking mass transit. Seeing that "Which One" hadn't driven other makes and just had a misperception, they owe it to themselves to SHOP, COMPARE and make an INFORMED decision. That would be my way not the highway. I see plenty of people on here badmouthing a make because of a bad experience and it will forever cloud their thinking, they'll take it to their graves, whining and moaning... I've owned awesome domestics and crappy imports, but I looked at all minivans a few years back before deciding on my totally trouble free Grand Caravan.

Replying to: dennisctc (Feb 06, 2008 2:55 am)  All Chrysler minivan owners but one ( including Dodge and Plymouth minivans) are completely satisfied. That person got an ABUSED, used Plymouth Voyager. I loved my 2002 Chrysler T&C LX that our daughter is now driving. |
