1998 Chevrolet Astro LS review from North America
"The Astro Van is a good family vehicle because it is roomy, safe and affordable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car required a "repacking" of the transfer case due to excessive shaking and bucking when turning the vehicle. The CD player has stopped working recently. I am now experiencing a "bucking" when the accelerating from being stopped. This seems to happen when the engine is warm.
General comments?
I have enjoyed owning an Astro Van. It is very roomy and feels safe.
Lots of windows so you have a good view of the road.
The van is comfortable and the automatic driver seat adjustments make a short person like me able to find the best position for comfort and ease of driving.
The cargo space is very good and the passenger seats are nice and roomy too.
It is not a very quiet ride.
The third row passenger bench seat is removable, but very heavy.
The Astro could improve on its fuel economy.
