Detailed Review:
This is more than a test drive. I have been leasing this vehicle since September 1996 and have put a little more than 28,000 miles on it.
I have a number of complaints about this van, the biggest of which is that the seats are terribly uncomfortable. I cannot drive a moderately long distance (200 miles or so) without getting a back ache.
Other complaints: I still cannot get used to the accelerator. Some starts are sluggish, others nearly give me whiplash. What a strange accelerator.
After a mere 28,000 miles (actually a lot sooner), this car has numerous rattles. I also occasionally find screws that have fallen out of God knows where.
This is the first, and last, Chrysler product I will ever own or lease. They have marvelous designs but the quality seems so poor.
My previous van was a Toyota Previa, and except for its rear-wheel drive, I miss it. When this lease is up, I'll be going to Honda or Toyota, probably.
