I like the fact that my van has over 220,000 miles on it and is still running like a new van. The one thing that I don't like that cannot be helped is the rust. I cannot justify a new paint job on a 15 year old vehicle. However I don't mind minor car repairs because it beats having a car payment. I have always been a fan of the Chrysler product and they have never let me down. I know that within the next one to two years I will need to replace my van but I will be looking for a late model not a brand new one. The maintenance on this vehicle is very minimal oil change, tires, a fuel pump, are the only things I have had to replace. Within the next one to two months I will need to replace struts but I'm not complaining the streets have lasted the entire 220,000 miles. I would recommend a Chrysler product any day over most of the manufacturers out there today. I would not recommend a brand new car as I feel they're not worth it because of the depreciation once you drive it off the lot. Not to mention the cheaper insurance.

Overall it's a great machine. It's big but a downside as expected is that the gas mileage is not great. However, it is extremely comfortable and easy to maneuver. I've been told Chryslers are horrible for needing repairs, and it's true enough that my own vehicle had to have a very expensive repair done to have the head gasket replaced. It was expensive, but for the cost of the vehicle and all the repairs, it was still a great deal. Large windows provide great visibility. Being slightly higher up than the average car also makes a huge difference. The ride is very smooth, and the van is extremely easy to maneuver. It is amazing for car-camping. Just take out all the seats and you have a very nice, cozy space for a small bed and all your things. Anyone can drive it easily. Great for the whole family or friend who will take the wheel every once in awhile.

When my first child was born, we needed something bigger than our small pickup truck. We got a great deal on this mini van: $10,000 for this new model. We were very pleased with the sliding side door, and removable middle bench seat. When we test drove it, it seemed solid. It met our expectations.
