Positive Review
If you need space this van has it! Space for kids, dogs and Dad's who want room plus luggage for 3 teanager girls that think their entire world must go with them. It has power and towing capacity. 5 speed transmission was great too. It's not a gas saver, however, the gas tank is big enough to keep you on the road for long hauls. We averaged 18 to 20 mi. highway (depending on the terain), 16 in the city.

Capacity of passengers and cargo
Not very efficient in fuel comsuption.
I bought it brand new in 1997 and have had it ever since. Very reliable van after 125,000 miles engine working very smoothly. I have always changed engine oil every 5k miles and used Mobil 1 10W30. Only issues I have had have been the AC compressor which did not last 5 years and an electrical issue that I have not been able to fix anytime the van sits outside and it rains hard, then it would not start fir 2-3 days after raining stops. Since I am storing it in a covered garage I have not experienced this issue anymore.
Does everything well
Out of production - no equal replacement
Love it - AWD great on snow/ice - 300000 miles - will die of Michigan rust before the drive train fails - 21 mpg average summer*18.5 winter - drives great - family / towing 4500 lbs / seats out 4 x 8 cargo / vacation vehicle - 3.42 axles - i added engine oil and trans cooler - drivers front hub bearing, torsion bar, fuel pump failed $375 parts / my labor , only repair beyond what i see as maintenance over last 220K miles / 22 years - Very much wish i could find a good AWD body for my drive train.
Extremely reliable
Been beat with an ugly stick, cramped legroom
Like a horse, this baby needs to be run every day to be most effective. Lousy gas mileage but I didn't buy it as a economy car. The XLT cargo model has two removable seats which allows 4 x 8 sheets of plywood/wallboard into the cab with doors closed. Awesome reliability. Just normal wear and tear. 181K original miles on engine and tranny and no issues. Air works great, heat works great. Typical interior parts break off over time but what car doesn't? This car just keeps running and running. Cheap to own. Never much to look at, this baby is Cinderella before the ball. Love this car.
