Cons

The tires were imported and not very smooth-friends replaced with Firestone for much better ride!

Purchased As New

This was a Chrysler lease. We have had 10 minivans since Chrysler invented it. The only vehicle we found that met our needs as well was a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. Loved everything about the van except the tires. We love to travel and put about 16,000 miles on a vehicle each year. Great for hauling stuff with seats down. Friends had a 2008 Honda van and traded it in on a T&C Touring after going on a few trips with us. (Atlantic City-Niagara Falls-Chicago) Can not see why anyone would spend $ 5,000 to $ 10,000 more for a foreign van when the Chrysler is so good, reliable and easy to drive. Seating is high enough so when you look out the windshield you can see the road and how far things are away. Friend's Honda you could not judge distances due to the hood and long dash he also had a tendancy to run over curbs scrapping the underside. I noticed the 2010 ratings give the Chrysler 5 stars but the Dodge Caravan only 4. Don't your reviewers know they are exactly the same vehicle ? After reading the reviews on the foreign models I guess not. You people missed the better fit and finish, even lines, better suspension and the fact that it is the best selling van on the market with more repeat buyers than any other van. Honda selects a certain trim level with options and claims they sell more than Chrysler but the numbers of vans sold total tells the real story. Copying is the most sincere form of envy and they all copied Chrysler. Like Consumers Reports I guess you never met an American vehicle that you liked !! Too bad! These vans are great for families, seniors who like to travel or as a great alternative to SUV's.
