Advice to Buyer:
It's a good buy but prepare for towing the van if you need jump start on the battery.
Detailed Review:
Test drove 2 vans. Inside design is good. I like the driver seat that can be raised up easily. Exterior looks beautiful. Overall performance is good except when acceralated, there is a racing engine noise that happened on both vans. The only thing I do not like is the battery under the hood. The negative terminal is not visible. The fuse block is on top the battery and is blocking the battery negative terminal and some wires on top of the positve terminal. I find it's not easy to jump start the battery since there are some chances that we accidentally leave the inside light on for a long time. It seems the designer is not considering any minor roadside emergency work. Overall the vehicle is excellent. I suspect the quality since the power lock on one side of the door and the headlight on the other vehicle are not working properly.
