We have held onto this care for the past 8 years due to following reasons: 1) The ease of the arrangements of seats. 2) The built-in child seat (for grandchildren hauling) 3) no worry of blind-spot.

My experiences range from good and bad. It makes me hate this van one day and love it the next. The engine itself has run extremely well and been great on gas. The fit and finish of the interior is full of squeaks and rattles. The electical system has been a terrible delimma, and front end suspension parts - I go through them like popcorn. BUT its comfy, spacious, drives well and still looks great on the outside as the day I bought it. Good stereo sound, plenty of glass to see (feels like a space ship) and makes long trips pleasurable. Have a dog and 2 kids. How could I go back to a car, or the gas guzzling SUV I once had.

Pontiac 1994 Transport

This has been an excellent, very reliable family car, with reasonably good gas mileage for its size. Plenty of power. Drove it from Louisiana to Minnesota, to Canada, west across 5 provinces, and returned through Montana, through the Rockies, including very high elevations, with no problem.

Purchased this vehicle 2 years ago. I have a big family and it's a great family van! Only thing is it doesn't perform too well when gas tank gets down to 1/4 tank. Have had a diagnostic done several times and everyone says there's nothing wrong. Love all the space when seats are removed. Very dependable. No problems starting in cold weather. Love the automatic side door. Two-year daughter was able to get van (while running) in drive without applying brake first. Gas mileage could be better. Do not regret decision to buy. Would buy again. My husband keeps saying he's going to get rid of it so he can buy another vehicle. I won't let him.
