This vehicle is very roomy and hauls up to 7 people or anything else. Maintenance has been low. Performs well in any type of weather condition. Good looking inside and out, hold up to the element (weather and children) Comfortable ride with plenty of storage room in the back
November 22, 2010Has good power for passing and long trips lots of room inside for passengers and cargo Awesome braking power, helped me avoid a deer. Good reliable engine, never engine problems Has made many long trips and never let us down
February 26, 2008My current vehicle is now at 182,647 original miles. Faithfully changed oil every 3,000 miles. Well maintained. Still running great.

January 8, 2008The sport family truckster! What can I say, it's a mini-van but it's a sweet mini-van. The 3.8 V-6 provides more than enough get up and go while delivering decent mileage. With over 170,000 miles on the clock we still get 26 mpg hwy with six full size adults! Other than a few wear items it has been relatively trouble free.
January 9, 2009This mini-van has held up pretty well despite bad quality reviews. Mine is 11 years old and has 99000 miles on it. Knock on wood I have never done motor or tranny work on it. The rear wiper just stopped working and the motor for it was replaced at 65000. getting rusty around the rocker panels and front wheel bearings are shot like most front-wheel drive domestics I have experienced. A little bit of care can go a long way. I feel this mini-van has a bit more torqey feel than others with v-6's in it's class. If I was getting a new mini-van, I would drive the Ford first.
February 6, 2009This is a very good car. The best than I have ever had. Very confortable to drive, very powerful, fast, reliable, it drives you where you want to go. Not need big maintenance or big repair if driving correctly. But it uses a lot of fuel.
January 7, 2008I really dont like the handling on the van. Maybe because its an older model. I love the fact that it has alot of leg room. And so much room for cargo.In a way it is a fun car to drive. Not good mileage but fun.
March 2, 2011I have had this van for about 3 1/2 months and so far it has been very reliable. I wish I could have gotten something a little more sporty and not so soccer mom, LOL. It is large enough for 5 kids from carseats to teenagers.
June 7, 2008Decent performance for a minivan. Friendly interior styling.
March 15, 2008Bought this vehicle used, and was pleasantly suprised with the peppiness and acceleration. It has 240K miles on it and I wouldn't be suprised if it goes another couple hundred thousand.The interior controls could have been laid out a bit better, but all in all I have beem happy with this vehicle.
