We love our van. Nearly 45K miles. It has had a few problems, failed belt idler bearing and the parking brake does not release and fully travel to stop in cold weather without a tap upwards. The factory alignment was awful, dealer fixed it free.
It will get 27MPG on flat highway at speeds around 60MPH, averaged 23 on a trip from SF to LA and back, with minimal city driving, around 70mph much of the way.
The tires on the 17 inch wheels are a little pricey, and not many options to choose from in local shops. Needed tires at 30k miles.
It rides like a tank, reasonably quick for a 4600lb vehicle. Solid and quiet.
the rear panels squeak after 20k miles, but pushing them to reseat the fasteners silences them again.
This vehicle has had far fewer problems than any american domestic car I've owned ever. By now I would have seen the dealer for a new transmission in my ford or some expensive repair in my chevy.
If I were to change one thing about it the brakes would be larger. They are easy to heat up when slowing from high speeds, resulting in a grindy warpy noise until they cool. This van easily travels high speeds, it should have effortless stopping at these speeds.
