I can honestly say that I love mine too. The mileage figures everyone is claiming are right on. On my trip to the NATs this year I saw 24 - 26 with the A/C on (and I wasn't exactly driving at the speed limit). Around town you get about 18. PLENTY of room. I have Stow-N-Go on mine so I can fold the seats right into the floor.
When you do this you can get full 8' sheets of plywood inside the van with the hatch closed. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Add a hitch and you can tow an 18' big block Olds powered Jet boat. Try that with a Prius!<BR></DIV> <DIV>As for the "soccer mom" image - just ride your Harley to work a few days a week to make up for it!

Two 2 meter planes are not a problem even with a tent, chair and extra tool boxes. I never thought that I would drive a mini van, but it is actually a pretty nice vehicle to drive all the time. However, the
kids I work with call it the " loser cruiser". It's not real sexy, but you get to haul stuff from Home Depot too. Highway mileage is 26 with the A/C on. It's a better value than the Town and Country(but not as nice).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Steve</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV>In a message dated 8/11/2008 4:02:51 P.M.
