I've had my '92 Astro since it was a demonstrator (7K miles) up to today (133K miles). I've have very good success, and would recommend one. 17-21 mpg, very solid and stable. I've replaced the starter, water pump, shocks, and brakes. Third set of tires on it, with 20K left on wear. Engine, alternator, transmission, rear end, AC, radiator, and interior are all original. I've had nusiciance problems like door locks not working well, sliding door sticking, and the like. But, if you're looking for safety, reliability, and value, and don't mind putting in the gas, you're doing well to hook up with a well maintained Astro.
