Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Standard eight-passenger seating, 5,400-pound trailer rating, torquey V6.
Cons
- Poor fuel economy, intrusive engine cover makes for small footwells, overall lack of refinement.
What’s new
All 2003 Safaris have larger 16-inch aluminum wheels and an improved braking system.
Edmunds says
A workhorse minivan that leaves the grocery-getting to the competition.
