I just want to know if a Plymouth Voyager is just as good of a car as a Plymouth Duster? :nuts:
Al Bundy is a noble man.

Al Bundy is actually my hero, but on the Voyager...depends on the year. The late 80s ones blow.
What about the short nineteen-ninetyfour in burgundy with tinted windows? It has a V6 and air bags.BurlyShirley said:
I really couldnt say for sure, but I know the ones from the late 80s were crap and you dont hear bad things about ones from the mid 90s, so no news is good news in the case of minivans, Id say. The Chrysler V6s from the 90s are all pretty good from what I know, like the one in my jeep, but Jeep Trannys are known to explode alot......i dunno.
Thats like asking if a magna is as good as a huffy.
My mom has a dodge caravan (same thing as the plymouth), and I can honestly say its the worst car i have ever driven. Turns like a boat, floats around the road, understeers in the mildest of corners, and shakes violently when you get up around 90 (on a closed course with a professional driver.. of course). If you MUST have a minivan get a honda oddessy, if not get a subaru wagon. Even the Astro van drove better than the caravan, could be a good choice if you are trying to spend like 1000-2000.

If it costs more than 500 dollars forget it. You dont see too many of these on the road any more... because they are all in junkyards. Super cheap car shopping is tough, but definately stay away from these if you can. What is your price range?Serial Midget said:
Yes. I MUST have a minivan and I did buy a Plymouth Voyager and I never, never drive faster than the posted speed limit or make anything other than gentle right-hand turns - after the appropriate signal distance, of course.
Oh and... who the hell drives a MINIVAN at 90MPH???

Actually I think one in thirteen cars on the road today are Dodge or Plymouth Minivans. Anyhow I bought a ninety-four for elevenhundred dollars because my truck is pretty bad on gas.

I do. Actually I DID, just once driving across Kansas on I-70 (75 mph zone)
Im glad to hear you never break the speed limit, I'm very happy for you.... just stay out of my lane.
Well sometimes I'll go a tiny bit faster and get in the fast lane for a little cruise control drag racing action but only if I think I can take the old lady in front of me. Its the hills that separate the good cruise control racers from the pathetic wannabes who cheat and touch the pedal... anyhow, it's not your lane; you don't own it.TheInedibleHulk said:

If Lea Iacoca was dead he'd be spinning in his grave. Minivans aren't meant for that sort of speed. Thats just crazy.
Dont know the reference, who is that?Serial Midget said:If Lea Iacoca was dead he'd be spinning in his grave. Minivans aren't meant for that sort of speed. Thats just crazy.
100 in any kind of car doesnt feel that fast once you've gone 110 in a go-kart you built yourself and your ass is 2 inches off the ground. Or even once youve hit 50-something on a DH bike or 60-something on a snowboard. Some people's perception of speed is just radically different than other people's. My mom would be scared out of her mind at 100 in anything, whereas to my friend JT who races sportbikes, 100 is barely moving. The fact is that many, in fact most modern cars from a dodge neon on up are capable of hitting triple digits on the right road in relative safety. We use almost the same speed limits now that we did when cars had bias ply tires, 2 point seatbelts, 4 wheel drum brakes, and no crumple zones or rollover protection whatsoever. Im not saying drving fast isnt still dangerous and people dont get killed doing it, but you gotta put car safety in historical perspective. I'm not advocating the elimination or across-the-board raising of speed limits, but anyone that thinks going 100 is just "crazy" just doesnt know cars.
You don't know Lee Iacoca? What's this world coming too. Crazy kids with there hippity hop and driving 100mph..... :mumble:TheInedibleHulk said:
