that we bought an extended warranty (first and only time we’ve done that), but so far it’s been fantastic. 45k miles in and zero issues, knock on wood. It’s been one of our favorite vehicles to own.

That's because it's 2024. Our 2007 odyssey is also amazing. It all depends on

We went Odyssey, mainly cause I don’t trust Chrysler. Zero issues, 2018.

Yes to Honda or Toyota. Maybe to Kia. NO to Dodge/Chrysler products ALL DAY LONG

You are wrong about the Pacifica Transmission — it's the exact same as Honda

Check out Consumer Reports and in most cases you get what you pay for.

If overtaking and fun-to-drive are your priorities…grab an R class. I’d still take a used one over any van today.
