I thought that a minivan with the sliding door would be easier for me to get things in and out, in my narrow garage. I knew that the rear wheel drive ones were supposed to be better, by looking at reviews. I watched minivans come up for sale on eBay, and this one seemed to be good for the price, and was only 20 miles away. I was the high bidder, and liked it from the minute I drove that 20 miles home. My mechanic checked it out, and said "You did good".
I just got through my first full tank of gas, and even with stopping and starting all over town, it got 20mpg, with the AC on.
I like being high up, and having great visability. It rides smoothly, a lot better than my little truck, which was 3 ft. longer, so this is easy to get into tight parking spaces, yet is still spacious inside. First thing I did was take the rear bench seat out and store it.
I have never had a minivan before, and I really like it. It has a dependable feel about it, and it is a keeper. I really just got this one, until I could get a white one with all the buttons, but I don't think I could get one any better. It helps that it seems to have been well maintained by it's first owner.
I have had full size Ford vans, and I wasn't too crazy about them, but this minivan is great.
