Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Pacifica answers the big questions. Rent the Pacifica first, and buy only if it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Which one to look for
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
