The overall rating of a review is different from a simple average of all individual ratings.
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 .
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!

I can never make up my mind if I like these cars or not. I think I'll have to go for a test drive to decide one day. Welcome to Ciao K xxx

Not bad for a first review, you'll need to add a bit more detail and more of your own opinion to get a VH though. Reading as many other ops as you can will show you what you need to do to achieve which ratings. If you decide to update it, let me know through my guestbook and I'll happily re-rate. Good Luck!
