Original owner and I am extremely impressed with this vehicle. We have 114k now and have only had to replace an air-bag module this year. Everything else has been normal wear. No leaks, doesn't loose oil between changes, a/c never recharged, and engine seems to run as it did when new. Smooth and quite. I'm keeping it till it dies, can't part with something running this good.
Pathetic isn't harsh enough...

Even POS is too mild. Got it in late 2003 with about 80k on it. Did fairly well up until it hit about 150k on it, and it has had issues almost weekly up until now for the last year. CV joints (multiple), quits when hot in summer and running A/C. We replaced almost ever sensor in it - some more than once. Motor mounts keep breaking. Check engine light stayed on so much that IT blew out. Major cooling problems. I'll be GIVING it away for scrap this week, as I'm not dishonest enough to launch this crap vehicle on even my very worst enemy. Most of the front end needs replacing now. Had I taken this thing to the dealer, it would have probably run me about $5-6k in repairs over last year

I really love my van. The only problem I have had so far is my rear heating and air has went out and I have no clue as to what is wrong with it. My struts are now bad but I have over 100,000 miles on it. I hope one day to get a newer one with the double sliding doors.

Engine and powertrain is very smooth but seems to be a bit underpowered probably for the sake of gas mileage which is about 25 MPG. Had a problem with the fuel tank until the recall came through. I really like the way the seats can be removed and relocated.
