Author's Review
Bought mine last year, after I unloaded my 91 Caravan which had way too many electrical gremlins to shake a stick at..Got it for $900.00 cdn. 218,000kms - rebuilt transmission, no rust, a couple of dings, new rear tires. 2 days after I got it home, the fuel pump went - paid $624.00cdn to get it replaced at dealership. Replaced two mismatched front tires with Walmart 48.97 specials. Replaced the battery which gave up the ghost 3 days later - to the tune of 50.00 cdn. After all is said and done, this has been a very reliable car. It starts faithfully everytime, chauffeurs myself, my wife and little boy in comfort. The 3.0l V6 is very smooth and fairly responsive - not as good as the 3.3l, but not bad. The interior space is great. Seats 5 very comfortably. Good visability. The suspension is very soft though, I wish for a stiffer spring set to combat the lean in corners, but that is my opinion here - others may find the suspension good. The big bonus is the fact that there are a lot of aftermarket parts for this car, and tons of them are in junkyards, so parts are cheap. All in all, for an North American car, It's a good one.
