Review

One great van, one great motor, 178000 miles and going strong. Will clean it up, put some new mats in it and keep it for another 12 years.

Favorite Features

Handling and performance

Suggested Improvements

Getting to engine easier and window motors were a problem for a while. More storage would be great.

Review

This is the best vehicle I have ever bought. It has never been towed. My son is 3 yrs older than the van and he is driving it now. I have replaced the spark plug twice and it is because I felt guilty. I do change my oil every 3000 - 5000 mile. I have performed minimum maintenace on this vehicle. I still trust it more than my newer vehicles. I wish they did not stop making them. Thanks Ford for a great vehicle. Oh, it has driven 270,000 miles already and still sound great.

Favorite Features

I love the feel of the driver seat. It is very comfortable

Suggested Improvements

If they were still making these, change the clip on the rack and pinion steering boot to something without sharp edges.

Review

We've had this thing for 5 years. It has served us great. We've gone from coast to coast with no major problems. All the kids fit with enough space to keep them from fighting. Take out the seats and it will haul ANYTHING. We did a complete move with just this van. It is built very solid. She took a hit from a deer last year and kept rolling with no serious damage. My wife seized the engine by letting it overheat and it fired right back up after it cooled off. I've had a few odd-ball electrical problems, but this is normal for Ford. Other than that I've only dealt with routine maintenance issues. The old girl has 210,000 miles now and still runs fine, and the AC is still cold.

Favorite Features

Rear wheel drive for larger towing and hauling capacity. Solid construction and fairly nimble for a van. The engine and transmission have been absolutely bullet-proof.

Suggested Improvements

Well, first off Ford should've kept making it. Power window controls located in an odd place. Too many electrical problems. Sliding door too heavy for small children to open and close.

Got it for a steal , 9 hundred bucks, looks and runs brand new. Bought it at auction, it did have a knot on one tire...no biggie love love love it, it holds ALL my stuff.

Favorite Features

Dual air dual stereo, sliding windows, I love that it has regular tires instead of way too pricey.

Suggested Improvements

Don't mess with perfection!

Review

This has been an amazing work horse. The van now has 208,00 miles and going strong. I have had it serviced every 3,00 miles, but has had only one tune-up after 12 years of service. The vehicle is hard on brakes and starters. Now in its retirement years, it's used primarily for trips to the hardware store. Compared with other vehicles I have owned, the Aerostar has been the most dependable of them all and the cheapest to purchase.

Favorite Features

Dependability. This car has never left us stranded after 12 years of service.

Suggested Improvements

Improved noise reduction.
