Dodge Chrysler van (grand caravan ES) - it is one of those "touring, air suspension" types, 2001 model, about 130k KM on the clock. It is the fully loaded one, I use this for long travelling, very comfortable, economy is somewhat less than the Honda (around 30 mpg, costs around $70 full tank to do 500 miles, like Toronto to Chicago). Again, no issues with this one. This is a bronze minivan too.

We have a third car (this was actually our "spare car", so it does not have a lot of mileage, given its age (also around 50k miles) - it is a Bronze Mazda Protege, 1998 model, also never had any issues with this one - love to travel in this one when I am alone (it has cruise control).
This one, I am not too sure about, because my mum might want this one.


The cars are all religiously serviced every 3 months or 3000 miles (my dealership loves me for the business!).

Either of them I would be sad to give up.
Thanks for the info. I am looking for something slightly newer like 2005/06. I currently have a Honda FrV 2005 model. with 44K on the clock. I have a Honda dealer that is interested in it and in fact they are coming over to see it tonight. These cars are hugely popular with families and I want to try and find something similar when I come out to Canada at the end of July. I am relocating to Victoria BC so it is a long way from GTA. Again, thanks for the info but I don't think these cars are for me.
