The Pacifica is predictably much larger, but mostly because it had an engine up front. It’s amazing how space efficient the Previa is.

Guess which one will still be running in 5 years.

Only 140k on the Previa! That thing will never die. Well except for when the battery dies because it hasn’t been driven in a month. Seriously though, we’ve owned it 24 years without a single mechanical issue.

Seriously. It’s weird driving a minivan that I actually look back at when walking away. It also looks awesome with the remote start active at night so the DRLs are on.

I still need to write something up about my old Charger. Maybe I’ll do a comparison for the minivans.

The Previa is really well styled.

Although I’d still take the egg.

I’ve been watching this one closely. Really interested in the hybrid version, but worried about FCA quality controls... please let us know how you like it!

I’m up to about 4000 miles and love it so far. Fantastic ride, smooth, strong engine, beautiful dark brown interior, and all the convenience of a minivan. I’m excited for the hybrid as well. I’m hoping I get a chance to drive one sometime.
