I love this car. love love love it. it's big and stern and kicks ass (in a domesticated family guy kind of way).

Best people carrier on the market.

haven't got one. Need a few more kids before I can justify it to DW.

Well most 7 seaters are you see!! The only one i Really like is the volvo xc90 but it's veeeery expensive

i think it just has really pointy corners. this is indeed the kind of thing i base car-buying decisions on... pointy-ness of corners and such like.

i can't wait until i can have a regular car again

I have a grand espace which seats 7 plus has room behind the seats for boot space. Great car as loads of room inside - back seats fit adults comfortably.

I have 3 car seats with no prob in the 2nd row. Only thing is once in the 3rd row the passenger can't open the boot door themselves - & if you've got 3 seats in the second row they have to wait for the boot to be opened - iyswim.

I like the electronic key which works opening the doors & starting the car without me having to take it out of my bag!! The car closes by iyself when I walk away from it.

The handbrake isn't next to the seat like other cars but up next to the steering wheel. It took me awhile to get used to this situation. Now it's fine - but does take an extra second to put it on whilst engine running & stopped on a hill. It is automatic & comes on when the car is turned off - have to remember it's not the same in my other car!!!

Overall - a great car.

Orinoco - I tried to ask about your Chrysler Voyager experience in another thread... Did you drive / own one ? Was it crap ? IIRC you said it was v. thirsty; I understand the newish diesles are much better...
