Critical Review

"Great turning radius and fuel mileage. The end"

I had one i purchased used. It was great until it wasent. The good. It turned on a dime and would park easy and manage any turn without fail as it seamed the front wheels turned eexteramly far out. The seating and driveability was great. Comfortable and adaquate visability all around. I had a high top without the rear ac unit that poked through the rear roof. The ac kept is comform=table but mine was white. The dark colored van need extra cooling from experience. The transmission shifted nice. it leaked fluid at 30,000 miles and the dealer repaired the defective seal. topped off the fluid, instead of replacing it entirely. The engine needed a turbo replacement twice in 45000 miles because of the VVT accuator, puting the engine in limp home mode ( light throttle actuation not over 50 mph. The engine harness failed just out of the warrantee costing just under 3000 to replace out of pocket. Front ball joints at 38000 miles. The frame and the exterior paint was rusting under it as if there was no galvalized panels or zinc chromite primer under the existing paint over the bare steel structure. Windows leaked and scratched from poor seals. Was noisy. I followed the recommended service schedule. I sold it at 48000 miles at a severe loss as it was draining me. To me I was excited to have bought it. I was also sick when I sold it as it was one of the most disappointing purchases i have ever made.
