Author's Review
Bought used, with 37,000 from an airline pilot that maintained it well.
Was like new, except that the front brake rotors needed resurfacing (have since replaced them, at 100k after a second resurfacing at 65,000).
Like driving my living room. Premium sound, handles fine (for a mini van I suppose). Plenty of power for passing and the like. Have serviced trans at 30k intervals, and use Mobil 1 synthetic at 5k intervals. Uses no oil, and has no trans problems. Not quite like new, but it does have 105k on it, and I live on a dirt road. AWD is great in snow and ice, as is ABS braking system. Occasional blip in computer results in most of electronic dashboard locking up - reset computer by disconnecting battery, and all is well. For several thousand miles or several months, and then it does it again. Have never had it looked at. Doorlocks occasionally pop up and down for some unknown reason, but it is entertaining.
A great vehicle, and I'm planning on buying another in the next few months
(spring, 2001). Can't say enough good about it. Drive it about 30k/year, 100 miles a day commute.
