Best minivan, even used!!
They were very very reliable! They always start up, anywhere. In the driveway, parking lots, etc. We had a 3.0 liter, short version and had way up, around 214,000 miles. It ran, like a top! When we needed to sell it though, it needed a little work, and brakes. But my whole 5-Person, family could ride in it with 2 extra friends, of ours! Without squeezing, and we never was even had a hint of ever breaking down. So these are the best minivan, ever built!! We bought it used. Was my favorite vehicle, we've ever had!

Problem-free
Love it! Have owned for 12 years, and have not experienced even a single problem. 3L engine is a bit wimpy, but willing to give up squeeling tires for good fuel economy. 4-speed auto. transmission is wonderfully smooth. Has never been tuned in 50,000+ miles, but pops right off on first try in sub- zero weather.
Just as I was gonna give up on Ford
This van is a bear. I can't kill it. I've doubled the milage on it, it taken every bit of abuse I can throw at it. This thing is tough. I bought it from a friend who apparently is clinically unable to change oil in a vehicle and he put 120,000 miles on it with no major repairs, and now I've run it up to 220,000 with no repairs, worries, squeaks, rattles or concerns. I'm in the process of selling it (need a full size) but it breaks my heart to see it go. Ford shoulda never killed this one off. Especailly to relace it with that garbage Windstar.
nice truck,bad trans
had a 93,loved it.bought a 96,at 90000 the transmission went bad.was told the shops called it the exploder since it was the same one in the explorer and was a bad design.other than that love it.
This is one of my best!
No major problems since bought. Great quality. Only had to replace normal stuff- tires,battery etc. Would recommend this to anyone. Ford makes a great car!!
