1994 Chevrolet Astro LT EXT review from North America
"Big mini van"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Regular items such as Tires, Battery, Alternator, Brakes. I had to have the 3rd gear replaced. Rear end was making noise and had to have rear bearing replaced.
General comments?
Great work van. It's not something I would have bought brand new. I personally don't feel comfortable hauling children around in it. I do not feel that this van is all that safe for that purpose. If you need a work van that you can store a bunch of tools/junk in and need a roof-rack for transporting a ladder and such, it's awesome. It's a big mini-van that has a great 4.3 V-6 and does pretty decent on gas. Everything else (Form, fit and finish) on the van is garbage. Last, but not least, they are difficult to work on because it is a van.
