opt for leather seats unless you are in sunbelt area; check out sellers service department
Detailed review:
Bought for safety features and comfort. Have had for 3 weeks and have driven it 3500 miles (243 miles on odometer when bought)in two week trip from Indiana to Colorado. Averaged 24 mpg going and 22 mpg returning. Averaged 18 mpg in mountains and Denver area driving. Not to bad but hoped for better. Averaged 71mph going and return. Speed limits are 75 mph in Nebrask and Colorado. No problem at 85 mph, had to use cruise or would get away from you with quiet engine, comfort and no outside or wind noise. Looked favorably at Honda Odessey and Dodge Grand Caravan but so far we feel we made right choice. Car is for my wife of 48 years (66 years young) and has no problem with full load of grandchildren
Also considered:

Vehicle purchased:
