I've got a friend that went from a Leaf, to a Prius V, to a Pacifica plug-in. Really enjoyed the trip to Sacramento in it. It's got some very minor quirks as far as braking and acceleration go, so if you're sensitive to those things certainly do a thorough test drive first. I find the quirks interesting and nothing else.
The Pacifica is still on my radar as well, but I've never spent more than $17k on a vehicle, and am in no hurry to part with the money I've saved.

That dealer is actually Dave Smith in Kellogg Idaho which is the #1 selling Dodge dealer on Earth last time I saw. A small town that brings in buyers from all over the country with their pricing. Missoula doesn't even have one in stock and they have about 8 or 10. Had it been in town I probably would have pulled the trigger in 2020 but I was too busy to drive over 2 hours and over the pass with only Christmas day off in the last 3 weeks. Now I'm back in no hurry mode. It doesn't look like the 2021 hybrid is anything more than a facelift. The regular van has some better stuff mainly AWD but that's not an option on the Hybrid (although the Toyota can be had in hybrid and AWD). We already have a Town and Country so I doubt it's much different but I should try and drive one first. Hopefully the Toyotas will be in stock so I can see if they are head and shoulders better to be worth the $10,000 extra they will cost.
