Auto Shopping!


So.... We've been vehicle shopping this weekend. WOW! There's a lot out there. So many things to think about ...Car, Truck, New, Used, Large, Medium, Small, Comfy, Cozy, High Miles, Low Miles, Leather, Fabric, DVD, No DVD, 4 passenger, 6 Passenger, 8 Passenger, Lease, Buy, etc., etc., etc, .....

How can we possibly make the "correct" decision? The best news is we have a good amount of equity in our current vehicle. Makes it much easier to get the nicer styles :D .

Presently we are considering the Buick Rendezvous, Ford Freestyle and Honda Odyssey. We test drove a Honda Odyssey - and were very impressed with the safey, as well as style! But - am I ready to drive a ......"min-van"? At least with my SUV's ...it was practical, yet sporty!

We're off to test drive a Freestyle ..... more later.


Up-Date: Ford Freestyle is a NO!!! Although they offered a great deal (DH used to work for the dealership), I was NOT impressed with the vehicle. I am really stuck on the Honda Odyssey. So comfy and lots more room than the other two.

If I were buying a new van, I'd buy the Odyssey. We have a Caravan and I LOVE it!

Hope you've had a great day.

Buy the Odyssey!!!!!! Or the Toyota Sienna if you have considered that. They are the number one and two pics as far as minivans are concerned. We have a Grand Caravan, and it is okay, but the Honda and Toyota are oh sooo much nicer!!!!

Good luck! Can't wait to hear what you picked!
