I've heard that the Sienna is the best one but the ones I find are all above my price range. Are there any other minivan brands out there that are good alternatives?
Well, I drive a 2004 Chrysler Town and Country and it has 144,000 miles. Now you would think that it's starting to fall apart with that many mileage on it but, the previous owner documented everything. I've had for 2 years and the only things I needed were new brakes and a fuel pump. The only things that were done in the past were just oil changes- that car has not gone through a single issue at all.
Are the chrysler minivans bad? From my experience-no. There is the good, the bad and the ugly about them but they can last some time with proper care.
I have the Cadillac of mini-vans. A 1995 Oldsmobile Silhouette. 3.8 L V-6. Runs great.
Find something you like and take care of it.
Even the Caravans can be good if you do the proper diligence.
