HI,

I bought my minivan in late 2002. I bought it because all of my research indicated it was a safe and economical car.

I love the power in the motor. It has great gitty up!

I have unfortunately found way too many blind spots while driving the car, because of the location of the headrests as well as divider between the side windows. The back window as well does not give you a good view of what can potentially be behind you. I have already backed into a pole, that was just a few inches shorter than the back window.

Also, I have almost hit a car twice just changing lanes, because I simply cannot see cars in the blind spots on the sides of the van.

The seats are rather stiff and uncomfortable, causing soreness in my lower back, despite the meager attempt at a lumbar support.

The remote automatic side door opener, is pretty neat, but unfortunately, it can be confusing to determine if you clicked the remote too many times to unlock, you dont know if it locked or unlocked, in which case the door will not open if unlocked, resulting in a big time waster of events trying to get the door open. Im sure this was meant to help with saving time, but it isnt.

I like the ability to work part of the stereo with my steering wheel.

With as fast as I drive, those breaks have been great, stopping on a dime.

Finally, the wind noise is ridiculous. I cant hear the radio at a decent volume, and having a conversation at time can be a hassle. This is with the windows all completely up.

All in all Im happy with the product, but have considered buying something else, for the major problems with the blind spots. Especially since I was so used to getting a full view from my Plymouth Grand Voyager.
