Advantages: Good Looking! Spacious and excellent choice for a family of 2-5 children Disadvantages: Feels really big and sometimes hard to park, especially in London. The Fuel consumption is 14-15 Litres per 100km, quite greedy rider.
...consume less. but the results was unimpressive 14.6, so that's about it. Hope you'll enjoy owning one too, so all in all I would turn down Chrysler vans for this one. Which means that i would like to kindly recommend you Toyota Previa if you're thinking of one!

I've had it for almost 2 years, and I'm still not bothering about changing it for another van. I think it is the only van that I would go for if I had to buy one more van in today's car market. Because it is japanese make, and can be as spacious as American vans. It has Japanese reliability with looks, and American spaciousness with its "space"
Now the things i like about the interior is that, it's dial is perfectly in front of your eyes, and even people with poor eyesight will sitll be able to know how much they're speeding if they've left their eyeglasses or contact lenses at home! The dial is so bright and the numbers are so big that you might feel like you've put on the +2 lenses instead of -2 ones!
And there's a very comfortable elbow rester, it's on both sides, passengers and drivers side. When you drive for long hours and wants to rest your arms sometimes, then your elbow rester might be useful, you can just rest your left elbow and drive by one hand considering that there isn't any police cars around, flashing their lights.
Now, let's talk about the shortcomings about this Japanese boat. It's front wheel will run out faster than any average car would do. because its front wheel drive. You use the front wheels for turning the vehicle and also you use them for accelerating, gripping, and for decelerating, which means for harsh stopping your vehicle whenever you were rushing to cross the yellow light but the red comes on too quick!
Secondly this van eats as greedy as me, when it comes to unleaded fuel. it only consumes unleaded fuel and it consumes about 14 to 15 litres per 100km on normal city road. it doesn't matter how hard you try to let it consume less by using all sorts of tips around. but the only difference it will make is 0.2 litres. My previa consumes about 14.8 litres/100km and I've tried everything that would help to consume less. but the results was unimpressive 14.6, so that's about it. Hope you'll enjoy owning one too, so all in all I would turn down Chrysler vans for this one. Which means that i would like to kindly recommend you Toyota Previa if you're thinking of one!
Advantages: extremeley comfortable driving experience Disadvantages: getting into the very back row of seats
The beauty of this car is it's amazingly comfortable driving position. It's like driving in an arm chair. Although it's not super quick at 0 - 60 mph, once cruising it does it almost too effortlessly. It has fantastic room in the back for 5 passengers with good leg room and visibility.
The boot space with all the seats down is ample, but with the back seats up it's fanatstic and allows great spontaneous shopping to take place! The other great feature ... ...do not physically need moving (and therefore storing) out of the car. The front two captain seats swivel right round for socialbility when stationery and recline for the kids to sleep in whilst on- the -road.
The cup holders in the back ensure the little darlings don't spill blackcurrant juice everywhere. We had cup holders put in the front for us so we didn't spill ours!
Visibility for driving and passengers is great. You can see over the hedges. ...
