Other friends who drive other models of minivan have not been so 
lucky or so satisfied.

Well, just a short note for those of you shopping for mininvans: we 
have a 2002 Dodge GrandCaravan and we abslolutely love it!

We also tried out the Honda Odyssy and really like that, but decided 
that the Caravan had more of what we were looking for.  That, and the 
fact that when we were looking, there was only one dealership in a 50 
mile radius that actually had a van in stock for us to try.  
Apparently, the Odyssys were so popular that dealerships were not  
stocking them. Because both my husband and I are the touchy-feely 
type, (er, let me re-phrase that!) we really  wanted to try out the 
actual van that we were going to purchase, and not just order one and 
hope for the best.  That's probably why I  don't shop from catalogues.

We also very much wanted to purchase a Toyota Sienna, but at the  
time, with 3 kiddos and a dog, the extra length in the GrandCaravan 
was too good to pass up.  This year, tho, Toyota came out  with a van 
that is somewhat of a hybrid between the Honda and the Caravan.  It 
really looks nice! It's much  longer than the older Sienna, and it 
has the rear split seats like the Caravan, but they also sink into 
the floor like the Honda.  

I have to say, we have had no problems with the Caravan.  I also 
work  with someone who has an older Sienna and loves that too.  

Anyway Heidi, happy minivan shopping and Good Luck!

to admit)
