Most reliable vehicle I have ever owned

I love it, bought my first one in 2001 and Astro vans is all I have owned since. Each one has been slightly different in one way or another, but all have been awesome in the engine, transmission, xxxx inside and out

Best van for all around use.

I have used the van on trips with family. I used this as a work van . It has never failed to get me where I want to go.

Still has miles to go.

This van was well maintained and taken care of. Mobil One oil changed regularly. Repaired faithfully. All invoices kept. It has a lot of miles but will go a lot more.

Will need more maintenance, yet runs great.

For under $1200.00 the Astro 2002 will work as a cargo van. Needs body work for some rust. I use the Astro Van for a second vehicle to move large items.

so far so good?

Had to replace AWD conrtol unit within one week of purchase, hood latch hangs up some times. For a 2002 not too bad.

Amazing traction

I have an AWD Astro in snow country. The traction on glare ice is incredible. It just goes. The weight disribution seems to be just right to allow the front wheel drive to start working when the rear starts slipping. Very positive control. Very dependable. Had to replace fuel pump at 100,000miles. Water pump, starter and alternator soon after. Still on original plugs at 126,000, going strong. Very comfortable seating all around with great visibility and tall driving height. All Astro/Safari owners here brag on the traction. Wish GM still made them. Nothing since compares.

A good van, but not a great van

I bought this van new and have put 120,000 miles on it--mostly long trips. It's been very reliable- just minor repairs and routine maintenance. The gas mileage is pretty good-- avg 25 mpg-- but I wish the seats were more comfortable. I'm short, and the headrest hits me wrong. I don't like that you have to take the seats out and leave them--my next van will have "stow and go" seats.
