1991 Ford Aerostar XLT Extended 2WD 3.0 petrol
Summary:
Sweet Van!
Faults:
Used Oil (1 Quart per 400 miles)
A/C broken.
Door Ajar light comes on.
Gas gauge intermittent.
General Comments:
Very comfortable van, quiet engine, great seats, great to drive with the hard to find 5 speed manual (supplied by Mazda), used an anti-smoke, anti-oil burning additive at the last oil change and it cured the oil usage problem! Getting 25 MPG mostly highway. Loads of space for hauling stuff. Pretty bad in the snow so I'm considering getting a 4WD one as well!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

What are you whining about??? Your Aerostar seems quite reliable, it's you that is the problem. ALL VEHICLES WEAR AFTER TIME!!! I own an Aerostar and it has more than paid for itself. We have had almost the same number of problems as you have had and we still take good care of it. What I really like about this van is the seats are comfy and it is built solid with a good economic engine and transmission.
What I dislike about the van is it will rattle some and the rocker panels suck!! They rust out too quickly!! We have rebuilt them all and it looks nicer now.
Superb job FORD!!
