Wow, thanks for the in-depth responses, CoyoteX and others too. If I do decide to get an astro van, I'll at least know what I'm getting into. Too bad they didn't make them with a manual transmission, that would have been perfect. I'll continue to look at other vans too and see what is available. I won't do any towing or heavy hauling, I have my Suburban for that if I need it.
I'd LOVE to get a Scion xB for myself... but that's just not possible. A dealer would probably die of laughter... notice how all my ideas are 20+ year old vehicles that are sub $1500 used?
