Dang, that is quite a deterent that site is running on hotlinking their pics, lol. Sorry to any that saw that, I edited immediatly, just so you know it was a pic of a 2001 M3, not a pic of 3 guys in bed....
Here's a few tidbits/pictures of my wife's 2004 Toyota Sienna XLE - we've been extremely pleased with it, so ditto the above FWIW ...
HA- I thought I was just seeing things. I edited it and then figured it was just a cache problem (not that I look at gay porn) and then put it back. Sorry!
Everything I read and people I talked to say the Toyota is the best overall. Honda get the extra $$ for being honda (trendy) Dodge has yet to fix the transmissions from what I have heard, so expect a major repair every 50,000 miles. $3000 to $5000 I just got a used ford windstar 99, with less than 50,000 miles for a descent price. I am just hoping that the tranny problems they had were fixed by 97 like I read. I also got the big 98 ford van - the one off of ebay for $3500. I sold the 58 VW though, boo hoo.
I have owned one plymouth van, 4 dodge vans. Each one hit over 100,000 miles, except the current one has about 20k to go. Never had any transmission problems with any of them.
OLD thread being bumped... so sorry! 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan, 3.8L V6.... no problems (knock on wood) 127,000 km (~79,000 miles) and why I posted, info on the 2007 Caravan: http://www.allpar.com/model/m/2008-minivans.html
Well, we ended up with a 2004 Freestar SES. Pretty nice van for $11,200.00 with only 20k miles... Really wanted the Honda, but I could have bought 3 fords for the price of 1 honda plus, she wont keep it more than 2 years... and we are still car payment free...
Some are....some aren't. There aren't many BMW's I'd want over similar cars in the same respective price ranges. Just my personal preference....
I drove a 2006 freestar (rental) and boy was it crappy compared to my 99 windstar, I don't think it was a 4 cylinder but it sure didn't have much umph to it.
Definatly a 3.3 you drove, they are doggy. The 3.8 is peppy Still not a rocket ship, but doesnt feel like your driving a 58 volkswagen
Ya, the 58 was pretty funny 1st gear to 10mph, 2nd to 21mph, 3rd to 32mph then 4th to 52 or revving it about 58! So low geared that even uphill was the same until you hit 4th - then you just forget that you have a 4th.
