Review
Bought because kids were fighting in car and needed more cargo space. Will tow anything, have taken seats out and put a cord of firewood, 30 sheets of plywood, dirtbikes, snowblower, appliances, you name it for the cottage. Will get 25 mpg at 60mph, one set of tires, brakes, shocks, and a muffler in 70,000 miles. Started outright dying on me 3 years ago, (got very excited) but only turned out to be a $11 pulse generator in the distributor. Sounds like a stagecoach on rough roads. I am trying to kill it by not changing the oil, 20,000 miles have gone by, why won't it die? I really wan't to buy a newer AWD model, but this one is worth nothing to trade in.I would buy again in a heartbeat!
Favorite Features
Reliabilty, simplicity, great fuel economy for a big towing vehicle, seats 8, cheap to buy.
Suggested Improvements
More sound insulation, better attachment and cushioning of interior parts
Awesome Van!

This is my 2nd Astro both have been great! This one now has 200,000 miles and going strong. Typical minor repairs have been done over the years. Nothing out of the ordinary. Hubby's NEW car has had more repairs in 1yr than mine has had in 5! I get great mileage too on this van. about 24 on the highway 19 in town.
Favorite Features
Love the way it handles/drives. Size is perfect for what I use it for. Love the rear AC. Also love the dependability of this van!
Suggested Improvements
Better cup holders.

Review
I have drove ths van for 10 years and have never had any maintance but normal oil change, tires. Was extremely impressed when I recently was in an accident with the front end and also rear-ended. Strenght of van saved my life in the 50 mph crash. Front end tore off but barely into radiator. Highly recommand this vehicle in every way!
Favorite Features
Gladiator package makes this van a plus. Safety features and strong build make me want to drive this van forever! Love the comfort, the gas milage, the looks.

Review
My Astro has been a great vehicle. Other than the idler arms needing replacement at 50k miles (typical for that vehicle), the only major repair was an alternator at 80k. With 105k on it now and no rust, it still looks and drives wonderfully. I've had the carpet covered since it was new so you'd never know this van was 10 years old.
Favorite Features
Drives smoothly down the road and handles very well for a somewhat larger minivan. The body style has not become too outdated and you still see a lot of this style on the road. Very dependable!
Suggested Improvements
Cup holders by the dash are poorly designed. The dash overhangs the area and only small drink cups/cans will fit. They're also not deep enough. During a quick turn, they can tip out. Door panel may come loose from being parked in the sun and vinyl shrinks.

Review
As you can tell from the milage this van did not set in the repair shop often. This has been a car I could always count on and gives me 21 miles to the gallon on the hiway. I know that's hard to believe but I custom ordered it with a towing package and a lower ratio rear end with positraction. living in western new york (Buffalo) I have never gotten stuck in the snow.
