My favorite minivan

We bought this car used at 14K miles. Now has 185K miles. It is a great minivan and I enjoy driving it. It is great in all kinds of weather. Lots of room to move a kid to college. Only have performed routine maintenance. Truly the best and most reliable minivan I have ever owned.

Best Car Ever Made

After 10 years of faithful service, I am selling my van today to make way for a sporty new SUV. Based on reading other reviews, I obviously was lucky to purchase the best-built Villager ever. The original engine and tranny are still strong after 10 years, electrical works perfect, ride is smooth and quiet. This has been a noble, reliable friend to my family.

Amazing Van

I bought this vehicle new, and it was our family's first and only van. Now, after 155,000 miles, it still runs great. It still has the original exhaust system, and I have had minimal problems, only one was with the middle seat air console. Other than that, I would purchase another if I needed a van.

We purchased this new in 1995...now have 103,000 miles on it. The only "out of the ordinary" repairs have been a broken hinge on the sliding door, a small fuel leak under the hood, and a broken rear AC/heat motor (seems to be a common one). The ride remains good. I have never kept a car this long. Overall it has been an excellent car to own.
