Ive also seen a nice 'Executive' model, which just seems to be missing the DVD player, but dies have climate control that the XS does not...
Merle, they all have two stage climate control which can be set individually for the driver and front seat passenger. However, some have three stage climate control which gives the rear seat occupants their own adjustments.

However, I'm not convinced that even the two stage is any better than single.

Which one do you mean Alan?

The Limited XS at Stratstone has for sure, but I don't think the Executive has

I know, that did kind of make me think negatively as well...

I meant the Limited XS at Stratsone's.

The Chrysler SatNav fitted to the Voyager's isn't the best SatNav in the world. It doesn't have maps or camera warnings but I love it because the visual and audible instructions are nice and clear and you can set the audible volume individually to the radio volume. I also like the fact that it's built in, which makes it convenient to use and unlikely to be nicked.

I also have a TomTom which does have maps and camera alerts which I bought before I found a source for updated discs for the Voyager. The TomTom now gets left at home.

To be honest Alan, where we live the furtherst we can drive in a straight line without having to turn around and head back is about 40 miles, so no real need for SatNav

We seem to have narrowed it down to these two:

2005 '55 Limited XS with 67.5K on the clock and satnav/tow bar

2007 '07 Executive with 75K on the clock and new style wheels/silver accented interior

Both the same money. Both from Car Supermarket type dealers.

Which one would you be inclined to plumb for?

1. On face value I would go for the 2007 model.
2. I would never buy a car from a Car Supermarket
3. I would never buy a car that had a tow bar fitted.
4. I would never buy a car without going over it with a fine tooth comb.
5. I would never buy a car without test driving it myself.
6. It's tea time. Catch up tomorrow. :O)

Default Went for the Limited XS :-)

Eventually decided to opt for the Ltd XS model from Stratstone.

Pick it up next Thursday.
