I had an Astro van from 1988 through 1998 and found it a good vehicle. For much of that time I owned a Catalina 22 sailboat which weighed over 3000 pounds. My Astro had the heavy duty towing package and pulled this large boat with ease. I had the...

We bought a '92 Astro because we wanted to separate our kids while driving. That was in '93, 7 years and well over 100,000 miles ago. The seats, carpet, heating and cooling, inside and outside lights, brakes and other major systems have held up well. It...

Pros: Big and lots of cargo room
Cons: Not nearly as durable as advertised not good with carseats

Don't buy this van used. Just don't, or you will be sorry. This is a one-owner vehicle and does not hold up long enough for someone to buy it used. Further, although GM advertises it as the van for "childhood", it is very car seat...
