Dodge

I have to say first and foremost go with a japanese engine--honda, toyota, or nissan (in that order) the honda odyssey is rated #1 by consumer reports and always gets great reviews by eone else it is also rated #1 for resale value and it is can be practical or you can choose to buy a more luxury version like the ex-l with or without dvd and/or navigation. i would recommend the toyota if you are going to buy a used minivan cause they dont hold their value as well as honda so u can buy a good fairly used one for a great price. the nissan quest is kinda different and new looking and if thats something that appeals to you than great but i would definetly buy a new one just for the improved changes and the warranty for extra insurance. i hope this helps-check out consumer reports and www.edmunds.com cause that will give you a tmv and let you know the cost to own over 1-5yrs and resale value as well as what others are paying for the same vehicle.
