Excellent vehicle for a small family.
Compact sport styling and good low end
response make driving around town a
pleasure. Comfortable ride and well
appointed interior. Removable second
row buckets and sliding rear seat make
it easy to create a larger cargo
volume. Very satisfied with choice to
date.

I have nearly 100,000 miles and have
never had to do any mechanical work
other than routine maintenance.... It
still drives and looks like a new car!

Not a bad liitle van. Must say that I
do not care for American vehicles and
only bought this van because I needed
one, this was the only van available in
my price range. Haven't looked back
since. Couple of trips across the US,
plus the half-dozen to grandma's
house. Wish there was a little bit
more cargo space, but moving the rear
seat up one-notch does the trick.

Although most like this van both my
wife and I are very dissapointed.
since the warranty expired, we have
replaced - Struts, Strut plates, 1 fuel
injector, rear A/C, ball joints, breaks
and Throttle plate. all Ford had to
say was that we were on our own. WE
will not buy from FORD again.

The van has been an exceptionally great
vehicle. Just before the warranty
expired we had to replace both
headlight harnesses because of
electrical faults. The radio & clock
display just failed as well as most of
the instrument lights on the ETC air
conditioner control. The bulbs for the
A/c control are not available at the
dealer. The radio display has not been
repaired because of the great cost.

This has been a great family vehicle,
which we got after trading in a 1993
that had over 100,000 miles with only
warranty and recall repairs.
However, one real problem developed -
the gas pedal began to stick when I
went to accelerate (fortunately it
never stuck while depressed). This
could have been hazardous if I had been
trying to accelerate in an avoidance
move or something similar. My dealer
fixed what he called "carbon buildup"
which he said he rarely sees. However,
I see in another post here that someone
else has had the same problem, so I'm
thinking it may be more common that
we're lead to believe.

This has been a good van, commodious and reliable. It easily carries us,
two dogs and luggage to Florida each year. It has been easy to maintain
and has been back to the dealer only for routine service for the most part.

I NOW HAVE 80000 ON MY VILLAGER. IT
HAS NOT HAD ANY MAJOR REPAIRS. I
RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE THE DRIVERS SIDE
WINDOW SWITCH REPAIRED (WINDOW WOULD
NOT GO UP, TOTAL BILL $75.00. I HAVE
EXPERIENCED THE STICKY GAS PEDAL SINCE
I HAVE PURCHASED THE VAN. ANY IDEAS
HOW TO FIX?? THE CUP HOLDERS ARE
LACKING (LARGE CUPS ARE A PROBLEM). I
USE MY VAN FOR WORK (COMPUTER REPAIR)
AND FIND THE SEATING OPTIONS PERFECT
FOR HOW I USE IT (HAULING PC'S,
MONITORS, AND LOTS OF PARTS). I LIKE
THE GAS MILEAGE, 24 MILES PER GALLON,
AND THE 3.3 IS A SNAPPY ENGINE. I PULL
A 16 FOOT BASS BOAT WITH NO TROUBLE.

we purchased the van used. we have had
only one problem with the headlight
wiring harness. the headlights would
individually go out when driving over
bumps. the problem was corrected by the
dealer replacing the plugs at the end
of the wiring harness. Over all, it
rides/drives like a very
controlable/predictable sport sedan.
great for long trips. would buy
another:)
