I just drove a Flex and it felt very generic but I may be a little spoiled in my choices these days. Couldn't get an appointment at Volvo until Tuesday so I have to wait until then to compare.</div>

<div dir="auto">The Pacifica great. I can’t get 2 pattern planes, the electronic scoring equipment, everything I need tools, generator and more important my wife with all her stuff. I can’t describe how much is that. I can’t fit all that in any other car.
Besides that, I also can fit 2 IMAC 35% planes. The only huge problem is that is NOT sexy. With tail wind more than 30 mph. If you like to be green get the hybrid. </div>

<div>For pattern room I still like my last vehicle the Honda Pilot. Generator will fit behind the front seat (Volvo has non removable rear headrests that take up too much space when folded down.)<br>

<div>Hello pattern pilots, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After 196k miles my Sienna is worn out and after 18+ years of driving mini vans I am done with those too. Contests are rarely big travel weekends any more and I never bring more than one plane so the reduction in space shouldn't be an issue. Now looking
at a Ford Flex or Volvo V60. Does anyone have any experience with either of these or a similar alternative? </div>
<div>Thanks, </div>
