Review

I bought my Astro new. The biggest repair I have ever had on the van was the locks failing. All I have had to do is normal repairs. The back door just failed last year at 185,000 miles. I havent had it fixed. It almost has 200,000 miles on it and I still has get up and go. It doesnt run like it has 198,500 miles on it. I'm looking at getting a newer one.

Favorite Features

love the layout. Easy to maintain

Suggested Improvements

Move the air filter to make it easier to replace. Now it takes about 45 minutes to replace. Change the type of paint use.

Good van

Review

I have had my Astro for 8 years now. It has been a really great car. I bought it reconditioned after a wreck, and it still has been great. This year it burned a valve in the head of the engine and is running rougher; however, my father likes it so much he said he'll keep it and put in a newer engine.

Favorite Features

I like the space for hauling people or stuff. I also like the go-power in the engine.

Suggested Improvements

The door handles are coming off on two of the doors. (I have a friend who had the same problem with one of his astro doors.) So, better handles would be an improvement.

Review

I bought my Astro new off the lot with 40 miles on it. I now have over 221,000 miles on it. I have traveled all over the U.S. in my van, I pull a 1968, 16ft camper with it, it takes me up to the ski resorts in the winter and drives me on the beach at the ocean. I love my van. Even if I get something else to drive I plan to keep my little van.

Favorite Features

The style from 12 years ago hasn't changed so drastic that it doesn't look outdated.

Suggested Improvements

Passenger leg room could improve and more durable door handles

Review

I have owned my Astro for 12+ years and loved every minute of it. It has taken trips from Canada to Florida and all points in between. I used it as a cargo van, loading it over its maximum capacity to mounting the seats and carrying passengers. I have also gone on numerous camping trips with my Astro. This is truly the best Mini Van every built! Thank-you General Motors for building a Great Mini Van, I have since purchased a 2001 GMC Safari and now reliving my experiences with my new found love. Keep up the good work and Long Live the Astro / Safari's

Favorite Features

Handling, performance, storage capacity.My 1990 Astro is a custom van with quick release mounts to convert it into a cargo van.

Suggested Improvements

Better leg room on the passenger side.

Review

I have 127,000 miles on my 1990 Astro van and have had no major trouble with it other than a few of the door locks going bad. It's very reliable and it's wonderful how well it gets around in the winter time! I'm never afraid to go out on the snowy roads here in NW Pa. My in-laws have 300 thousand miles on theirs and still don't hesitate to drive it cross country!

Favorite Features

the room, easily removable seats

Suggested Improvements

better quality door mechanisms
