1994 Chevrolet Astro EXT AWD LT review from North America
"Great power train, horrendous ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had a hub go out on front, left wheel. I've heard that this is very unusual and cost about $600 to fix with a part from the salvage yard.
Lots of rattles.
Driver's door handle broken.
Driver's power door unlock no longer works.
General comments?
I am impressed by how strong the engine and transmission run and overall it has been a fairly dependable vehicle.
But this is built on a truck chassis and it feels like it. It has to be the roughest riding van on the market and I am sure that is why it has all of the rattles.
Terrible gas mileage - about 16-17 mpg.
My van is All Wheel Drive and it gets around great, even on ice. That is one thing I am going to miss when I sell this.
