Has anyone got/had a Chrysler Voyger/Grand Voyager?

Thought this would be a good place for this as its a people carrier and most cms drive them. Currently I have a Vauxhall Zafira which I love but am thinking of swapping for a bigger one as my husband is getting a company car, so wont need to tax and insure 2 cars as we do now. We also have a Vreg Fiat Ulysse which I also love and that has 8 seats, really useful with kids new kitchens new beds etc, as its so big, and love the sliding doors. Went to look at Chrysler and loved it but they are expensive, so wanted opinions before making decision. Will get a diesel one not petrol if we do get one. TIA

Hello - I have had a few 7/8 seaters, so these are my views!
Kia Sedona - very thirsty and quite sluggish.
Toyota Previa (old style) - loved it, but it's age was against it!
Fiat multipla - economical, but got no respect on the road!
Renault Espace - nice to drive, but no sliding doors.
Present car - Peaugeot 807 - Absolutely adore it, plus the electric sliding doors are brilliant. It also scores highest in NCap safety awards.
Aparently, the voyager doesn't seem to score very well, and I've had 2 childminding friends who have bought and re-sold them in a matter of months.
Hope this helps!

I drove a brand new one last week in Canada {only had 7 kms on clock}
It was very very thirsty
the footbrake was dodgy the release lever was too low down to be comfortable
The footbrake was not very secure
the slideing doors were hard to open and shut
IMHO and IME I wouldn't buy one
