What do y'all think of the Pacifica/Pacifica hybrid? Thinking 2020-2022ish.
They're about 15k cheaper and have a ton of features, but are they really the nightmare I've been reading on reddit?

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.

What’s it like accelerating onto the freeway and passing cars on the highways?

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