Best car on the lot
We got to the car lot with all intentions of purchasing an SUV, but just before we bought the Ford Expedition we thought we should go at least "look" at what minivans were on the lot.
Side note: we've owned a minivan for 6 years now and swore we wouldn't buy another.
There were two vans on the kit that matched our price range and had the features we were looking for. A 2008 Honda odyssey and a 2009 Chrysler town and country fully loaded.
Thr Chrysler was a nice van and had lots of bells and whistles, but it didnt convince us away from the SUV. The odyssey on the other hand had a distinct quality to it that you could feel as soon as you sat in it.
The leather seats were soft. The sliding doors opened smoothly and without hesitation. The steering was tight and engine responsive. The list goes on and on. We felt a difference in quality between the odyssey and any of the other 15 cars we looked at that day including fords, chryslers, jeeps, volvos, and dodge.
We drove off the lot disbelieving that we bought another minivan but now two months later are still in love with the van and know we made the right choice.
The safety features are great, variable cylinder management is good on gas, and there is surprisingly so much more room than our old town and country.
We definitely recommend this van!
