Our Voyager has been simply great for repairs- truly a reliable family car. We've replaced the oxygen sensor twice- once at 72,000 miles and again at 170,000 miles. It did have it's transmission rebuilt at 145,000 miles, but given the issues these cars have had with transmissions, that is not bad at all. It had it's alternator replaced once. Aside from that, everything done to it has been general maintenance.
It has started to burn oil- about a quart every 1,700 miles. I don't think this is very bad at all for the mileage the van has on it. The engine still feels like it could go another 100,000 miles despite this small problem.
The Voyager is no speed demon- I mean, it's a minivan. But as far as a good cargo vehicle or a good family car, I still haven't seen a van or SUV beat the kind of reliability the Voyager has to offer.
The cabin is very roomy (of course- it's a minivan), and it is very comfortable to drive on long trips. The car is my dad's (I'm a college student), and I feel safer and more comfortable driving the Voyager on long trips than I do my own '96 Grand Am with nearly 100,000 less miles.
We've been considering trading it in for a newer vehicle- but every time we see a car we like, we have difficulty sitting down at the bargaining table since the van has been so reliable- why get rid of a good thing?
Well, it's been 4 years and 41,000 miles since I last wrote a review on this car, so I thought I'd do an update. It's had a radiator and an alternator replaced. A couple of panels on the inside cracked and have been replaced with boneyard parts. Still a pretty darn reliable car though, especially considering that it now has 213,000 miles on it. Taking it on a road trip on the next few days...
