I have a Chrysler Town & Country that I love! I have only had it a year so I can't address it's long-term reliability, and it is a lease so I'll never know. I just know I am so happy with it. It is my first mini-van and I've had kids for over 10 years. You obviously know how wonderful it is to own a minivan! What I like best are the stow-and-go seats which fold totally flat into the floor. I don't know if this feature is available with the auto button that you mentioned. While the rear seat is a breeze to flip down, the middle seats are kind of bulky to move - with your wrist issues you may want to play with one at the dealership. The ride is nice, the layout is nice. My last car was a Volvo wagon and I like the T&C so much better, plus it cost so much less! That Volvo was very noisy. If I had any complaint about the T&C it would be that the AC is kind of weak, but I guess it has a big job to do. Several of my friends own T&Cs and all of them are very happy with them. When my lease is up I plan to get another one as well. Nicole

my grand cherokee gets 17.6 mpg city(real time read-out), don't remember highway since my daily commute is city only. my dh has a ford f-150, medium sized truck that only gets 12 mpg. i am happy w/ my gas mileage, for 18 months i drove hundreds of miles a week and took 2-3 tanks fulls of gas for work. i never had time to turn in my mileage for pay at work (did use on my 07 taxes thou) so 1 tank every 10-12 days is wonderful to me lol. we will be driving to an atlanta vacation this fall and i will rent a hybrid SUV just to try it out. i am in the market in the next 12 months for a new SUV and was going to get a land rover, range rover sport, until TaTa Motors bought them out and they closed the store near me. who wants a car by TaTa lol?! i am feeling a bit of a need to be more environmental thou so if i find a hyrid SUV suitable i'd consider it. ~ liz

Along the lines of what Funky said, in 2015, I bought a used Lexus RX350, with low mileage that looked new. Its been great to haul dogs, compost, small trees, you-name-it. Brace yourself - I bought it after seeing it on Craigslist, and doing careful researching and having it checked out. It's incredible. A friend has a Toyota 4Runner that he loves, but he says the Lexus has more zip. It's called a crossover, meaning "the difference between the two is simple: A crossover is based on a car's platform, while an SUV uses the chassis of a truck. The result is that crossovers use "unibody" architecture, meaning the body and frame are one piece, while SUVs use a "body on frame" design." I also have a WONDERFUL place in Maine that services it for much less than the local dealership. They are all former dealership employees and do not try to up-sell anything like the dealer. I wish everyone had access to a place as nice as this one.

Looks like new. BTW, after reading comments on your original thread, I also bought one of those 3M restore kits to renew my motorcycle lens. The thing is, after washing it off and taking a really good look, it looks too clear to mess with right now. Oh well. At least from seeing your results, I know when I do need it, it will work. :)
