Well, the Vermont trip was the last trip for our Chrystler Town & Country. On our return home from skiing the transmission went out of the van. We had to fix the van in a small town in White River Junction, Vermont and Mike had to take a Greyhound to get the van back a week later.
They replaced the transmission with a used one that they had found for us, but after driving it a couple of days, we were very uneasy about the way it was driving and decided to look around for a replacement rather than being stranded again along the rode side with no one to call for help.
We love the functionality of a mini-van and started to do so research with vans and began pricing them and comparing pros and cons of all the options available out there.
We came to the conclusion that the Honda Odyssey would best suite our needs and it happens to rank #1 in reliability which was a new priority after being stranded with the kiddos.
The kids said their good-byes to the Town and Country and quickly jumped into the new van which has their most important feature: a DVD system.
The Town & Country was good to us. We purchased it with 40,000 miles at the beginning of 2006. It now had 135,500 and really had very few problems.
2011 Honda Odyssey with 27,200 miles.
We will be returning to Minnesota with Massachusetts license plates!!!!
