1997 Chevrolet Astro review from North America
"The van that is built like a truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have changed both idler arms.
Catalytic converter imploded.
General comments?
This van is the perfect family vehicle.
Although it is a little hard on fuel consumption, it is no different than any other van.
It has the power when needed either for speed or for torque.
It has the comfort of an econoline and yet when you take the seats out, there is enough room in it for a general contractor to put all tools needed.
