I've got one (US) I bought new in 1994, it now has over 160,000 miles on it. It is a 6-cylinder pre-vortex, though. My wife's dad has a 2000 with the vortex, it runs fine and he pulls a boat with it.

The Astro is a design that's over two decades old, and drives that way too. Their fuel economy is poor, mine got 16 miles to the gallon (company vehicle). The ride is okay. but the doghouse in the center and limited floor space for the front seats will about drive you nuts. I'd get a front-wheel drive van with a smaller engine. You'll be a lot happier with it.

unless your flush i would go for something easier to drive and maintain..they are never economical.wide and heavy ..and if they go wrong difficult to find a good repair shop ..all most all europeanvans today are better .but if you want us all to say .i told you so ..go ahead ..buyer beware
