 This van does a good job of replacing the Chevy Astro. I haul alot of dogs to events, and this van gives you tons of room with a small car feel when driving.  BUT! Very annoying to have metal side panel  fly off...i was lucky mo one was hurt!  So, more time at the shop getting one of the endless recalls done.  Next, the entire sliding door FELL OFF. The door mechanism was CHEAP and i was out $600...  After that mice ate the airbags and the entire van was totalled in less than 2 years.  I bought a Nisson van and I have to say it handles MUCH better in the snow.  The Ford could not be driven in snow at all.
