Review

This vehicle is super reliable. I have not been able to wear it out. It has 230,000 kilometers on it 3.0 liter eng.does not use any oil. I have maintained this vehicle in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. It needs new shocks and some work. I have currently parked in my garage. No rust, I am going to put a new fuel pump for reliability purposes. This vehicle is in great shape and I want to keep it for a long time.

Favorite Features

Room, reliability and the seats in the front are awesome.

Suggested Improvements

None ,this the best mini-van built. Ford bring back the Aerostar. Bigger and roomer than the Dodge Caravan.

Review

How am I ever going to part with this van? At 212000 it has taken children and all their stuff to college in Wisconsin, North Carolina and Pottsdam in upstate NY. It has made countless trip to Indiana again loaded to the top with product, my husband owns his own business. I has taken me to Minnesota to visit my first grandchild. A last the transmission has started to slip and we are holding on. This van has been a reliable workhorse, it sits outside all year, in western NY, and starts every morning without fail. I have had very few problems with it and the comfort for all my family including my 6'7" son has been great. Everyone can drive it from my son to myself at 5'1". I can haul anything

Favorite Features

Its reliability, versatility, comfort. What was Ford thinking? I believe this car will last forever.

Suggested Improvements

I love it just the way it is!

Review

This is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I bought it new and have spent almost nothing on repairs. It now has 170,000 miles and still runs strong. Interior and extetior still look great. Wish Ford still made a vehicle this good. The 4.0 liter engine is great.

Favorite Features

Great for hauling people and cargo, plenty of room. Easy to drive, great for kids.

Suggested Improvements

Make it again. Ford goofed when they dropped it and started selling the Windstar which was a joke compared to the Aerostar.

Review

My third AWD Aerostar and best yet. I own a second 1995 AWD, my first Aerostar was a 1990 short van. All 3 vans have have been rock solid dependable with normal maintenance issues such as front CV boots, steering knuckles/bearings being the most costly, occurring in the 130-140K mile range. These vans were built at Hazelwood, MO by some of the best people that Ford has. I enjoyed working with St Louis Assembly as a supplier QA Engineer for over 13 years so I speak from experience. Both vans have over 184K and plenty of life remaining. I am now considering another 97 AWD model. Gas mileage = 17- 20mpg & same as a Windstar which has less room and utility. Aerostar's build quality is far superior.

Favorite Features

All Wheel Drive - GREAT in snow & gravel. Easy maintenance; oil & air filter, brakes, cooling, etc, but spark plug & wires are hard. Tips: Inspect CV boots for tears at oil changes, Rotate tires regular & replace 4 tires at same time - minimizes potential transmission and transfer case problems.

Suggested Improvements

Ford needs a medium van design choice again. With the new multi-vehicle build plants like Dearborn this should not present a capacity or extra plant issue. Only cost to design. Ford may find a ready market of buyers for it.
