Our Ford Contour died recently. So we are now down to our 1999 Grand Prix GTP 2dr with 221,xxx miles. We will be looking at getting another vehicle soon. We will have to stay under $2000 and between the 1996-2004ish years. We have a 6 person family and an SUV is too hard on gas for us. We are thinking of going with a minivan of some sort (perferably american brands) . Im have been thinking of a Ford Windstar, Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, Chevrolet Venture, or Pontiac Montana. I know that the Windstar comes with a 3.8L V6, the Venture and Montana come with a 3.4L V6, and the Town & Country and Caravans come with a 3.3L or a 3.8L V6 (Im not really sure which engine is the most prefered of the two). They all get about the same fuel mileage. I was wondering if anyone has any more info, suggestions on which van is most reliable, and/or biggest trouble spots for each van? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank You.
