Hi Liz, Welcome to the world of mini-vans:-) I love my van and my dogs ride comfortably in it, I have a Chrysler Dodge Sport which is the longer version and two large crates fit in well, of course I've taken out the non-essential seats in the back. It has split air conditioning which is nice for long journeys and we have fabric seats which grant you get a bit hairy. I think leather is nice but you will probably find they scratch, besides as you get more Berners you'll likely take out the back seats! You can always go the whole hog and have seat covers and dangling dice:-)
Mini vans are like Berners once you've had one you wonder how you managed before:-) Don't forget to tint the windows:-) Rose T.
