    I am in love the town and country.  We are actually looking at getting one.  We have been mini van shopping for about a month now but I just cannot commit. We do have it narrowed do to a Town and Country or a Traverse (crossover SUV).

    Right now we have my Chrysler Pacifica & DP's Dodge Dakota. 

    I've been less than thrilled with my Chrysler. My AC already went out which I heard is very common with Chrysler/Dodge so that had to be fixed. Now DP thinks the transmission m

    We got a 2003 Odyssey when the boys were born (so it was 3y old at that point.) I drove it for 4y (till 2010) until the transmission went and the cost to replace it was the same as the value of the van (it was a known issue of that model year

    I think we are going to go test driving this weekend.....

    I had a bit of a panic attack over the move to a minivan as well, but it became clear as soon as the babies arrived that it was the right tool for the job! I LOVE our 2010 Odyssey, and yes, the middle seat in the middle row is removable. I actually think
