Have driven 6,000 combination miles so far,worst mpg is 19 best is 22. Appears with my rear end ratios I will be getting better in town mpg than hwy at 70. I'm carrying 1600 lbs. constantly as cargo in form of boxes. This van is a dream to drive. My history has been 5 Ford Vans, and this is by far a cut above. Turning radius is much tighter than any other van I know of. Ability to lock doors after exiting appears to be non-existent, unless using the fob. This does,of course, prevent any lock-outs I presume. My experience so far has been above my expectations. Anyone willing to make the jump-up on the front end to purchase one, will be justified after a few miles under ones belt

I know three people who have the same model as I do. We have replaced the turbo resonator 4 times (3 in warranty). Two years into the purchase and we are hit with a $10,000 transmission bill. Six months later, $3,000 for air conditioning problems. All three friends have also replaced the transmission and have had turbo issues. I would never buy this brand vehicle again.

I bought this passenger van in May '07. I have just finished a trip from Seattle to Las Vegas. I am doing about 16.6 MPG. It is fund to drive, especially when you pull into a parking lot. People approached me and asked questions about it. There are some problems like rattling noises in the back trunk. when I filled up the tank, there are still two missing bars. I took it the my dealer, they could not fix it yet because it is so new. The machenic told me that he plug his computer and read that my gas mileage is 17 mpg, he corrected to run at 22 mpg. I read some threads on this forum saying that the gas mileage will increase once I finish the break-in period. I give it a 6 overall

Love the van, hate the price paid, and dealer service stinks. As a result, I do my own repairs and farm out the dirty jobs to locals (oil changes, brakes). Repairs are reasonable this way. Van eats light bulbs and brake pads. Has had a series of small but annoying problems throughout ownership but has never left us stranded. 1 glow plug dead, driveshaft carrier bearing sometimes makes squeaky noise, can't reset oil change reminder without dealer diagnostic equipment (which fortunately we own). Other than that, it's a phenomenal van. No roadie-walk when moving around in the box. Still turns heads 2 years later. Drives like a car. I'd buy another.
