I will have to wait until they have used Honda Odyssey's.That is good to hear that a Permobile Will fit into smaller Van, .I know what you're saying Quadius. Good luck with your driving Larry! Paul, That's great that you can drive and get a Honda Odyssey. It seems like it takes forever,to get parts for my PerMobile.Does anyone else have that trouble? Dana
I am getting ready to order a new chair and I'm thinking about going with Permobile and have even tried out the C500, but I didn't like the fact that it was a front wheel drive chair. I know I wouldn't have fit into a small van with a chair as I am 6 foot three when I am stood up. I would love to be able to get into a smaller van.

I'm in a Permobil c500 stander, and all is well. I'm not driving yet though. I need the EMC controls and the EMC people won't allow their vendors to install those on a Honda Odyssey; they r saying I have to send my van down to them. Which is another issue in itself. Plus it cost an arm and leg. How r u driving?
