Finally Breaking down and Buying a Minivan...

Looking for suggestions on a reliable dealer/car lot to buy from in the RI/southeastern MA area. I'm also interested in opinions on the Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna and Nissan Quest. My Mom has the Odyssey which I keep borrowing, it's nice. I like the looks of the Quest the best but it got bad reviews from Consumer Reports. I'm actually going to test drive the Sienna today which was the highest rated. I figured the best people to ask are moms! I welcome any suggestions or advice. Thanks.

What can I do next?

We just recently bought a Kia Sedona at Metro Kia in Johnston. We love it... it has a great rating on safety
and a 10 year warranty 100,000 miles

The sales people at the dealership were good to deal with.. they weren't pushy. My husband did a lot of reading on the
other vehicles..Honda,etc. We got a good deal because it was a 2008 leftover.. end of season sale..getting ready for the new models to come in. Most of the competition's minivans were an additional $10,000. Hope this helps!

I recommend Quirk dealerships Quincy & Braintree
I love my Chevy Venture and they are much less $$$, they are now called Uplanders I think.

I love my Kia Sedona which looks just like the Odyssey. It ranks in the top 5 for safety. The Odyssey is top quality but the Sedona is much cheaper and a great vehicle. I also would recommend Quirk dealership. You can find amazing deals through them. Good luck with your decision.

Hi G.,
I used to work for Herb Chambers Honda in Seekonk and I can tell you that the odyssey is a great one!! I also think that the Toyota is also a great choice. I have a CRV and love it. Minivan type vehicle without the van. :) If you decide to go to Honda ask for Patricia Pacheco she can help you with any questions you may have. Tell her C. sent you. It is right on Rt 44. Good luck.
