That is strange, and I have noticed some of the T&C's coming in, that there is **** all over the wheels. And it sure as **** ain't brake dust. I don't know though, I have had customers who have bought T&C's for years, and they love them. Best vehicle they ever had.
The new Ford joint looks like an SUV/MV cross breeding!
not offense but ive driven a couple of chrysler vans and if thats the best car you've ever owned you need to get your head examined

Well, I did it. Bought the Mazda, that is!
The factory was offering up a big rebate, like $4000. and the dealer came down a little more, so I've got a new '05 MPV ES in the garage. It's pretty sweet.
The newer MPV's with the 5-speed auto are supposed to be better than the older ones.
I haven't talked to any Dodge/Chrysler owners who haven't had major trouble with their minivans, so I eliminated them long ago.

Yup. The sliding doors also have the power open and close feature, which I wasn't too wild about, but my wife had to have it.
It's also got the 4-seasons package with a tranny oil cooler, heated mirrors, and a bunch of other stuff. The interior is dressed out pretty nice in leather. Also has a six-disc CD changer, power seats, 17-inch wheels with Dunlops, etc. etc.

Haha. Thanks. Yeah, the thing does okay with the 200 HP six. Pretty torquey, and gets off the line nicely. And even though the Honda has 44 more horsepower, it also carries around another 400 pounds or so. Mazda has a good warranty, so I expect I'll be happy for the next four years, at least.
