Back in college days, I tracked a couple pre-production minivans as chase cars:
1) Dodge Caravan: terrible trans won’t hold a gear, better power than Pacifica, can’t left foot brake because the seats are terribly flat.
2) Pacifica: better seats helps this rotate. With some trail braking it will bite and come around …. but terrible trans doesn’t give you any power to pull out of it. Need to be thinking half a corner ahead with this one.
3) Last Gen Sienna: best headroom for helmet, super short gearing, best damping and reasonable steering but holy shit the brakes are bad. t/C turns itself back on at 50kmh.
