Default Help!

Have a friend who's considering going from a Lexus i300 to a Chrysler Pacifica. Says he likes the functionality of the Pacifica. Is there ANYTHING else I could suggest to him?

Default well...

... the GIANT picture of an allroad might be a good clue as a suggestion. ;-)

Hellvua change from an i300 to the Pacifica, though. Does he know that the I300 is available as a wagon? I'd probably throw a couple of other wagons in the mix if he doesn't need the size of the Pacifica... A4 and a6 avants... the allroad (needless to say).

If he wants a minivan, there is the Toyota Sienna - (which seems butt ugly, but awfully functional) and the outgoing king, the Honda.

Sorta depends on how much he needs and what he wants to spend.

Great time to buy a car, though - there are amazing things out there, no matter what he ends up with. Thank god for Audi/VW (and otheres) raising the bar for so many in terms of design and style.

Default The Pacifica's a mini-van on steroids...

...only not very good steroids. He surely needs to drive one thoroughly to compare it with his Lexus, and I bet he's disappointed. HPH

Default I rented one for a week in Fla.

Piece of s@*t...! Bad trottle response. All kinds of electrical problems (i.e., AC, drivers window would not go up if wet, none of the interior lights worked, auto locks kept locking and unlocking while driving....) and it only had 1200 miles on it. Real bad gas milage (16). That 3.5 all-wheel drive likes to drink. Tell him to either get a van, an SUV or a Caddy SVX if he must have both.

Default Pick that Honda Mini van, better than the Pacifica!

Sliding doors are kind of useful.
