I have a 2004 GM Safari van for work,it fits the use nicely.
It has RWD,Flat cargo floor for tools and such....
44,000 km and ...
gas guage not working
water pump leaking
block heater leaking
rotors need machining
GM = p.o.s.
I have a 99 Ford Windstar minivan for work.
engine light has been on ever since we got them
the sliding door lock will sometimes refuse to unlock
the engine will idle rough and the battery light will flicker
brakes need to be resurfaced
wheels need to be balanced for no apparent reason
GM gave me a mid-13 second, 300+ hp car in the low $20k range. Sure, I have to deal with electrical demons, warped rotors (notorious on F-bodies) and the occaisional weird mechanical/exhaust problem (cat burned out after 30k miles?), but hey, I can deal with it.

Ford = pos too? []
teh GM one is GM screwing up cause that is still under warranty. GM loses $$.
teh ford on is ford being smart cause they have a 99 that needs some work. ford makes $$.
if you believe that, gullible is written on the ceiling.
I had a buddy with a ford aerostar that was absolutely beat down to hell, it had over 300,000 miles and the drivetrain was still kicking. one time, I ripped the sliding door off of it while trying to get in. awesome car.

you've seriously had all those problems with your 'maro?
my dad had a brand new grand am in 99, blew the tranny at 9000 km and a pushrod shot through the block at 27000 km... had alot more problems with it but those were the worst. he said he'd never buy another pontiac again, so he got a buick rendez-vous (my father wasn't a big car expert, he had no idea it was basicaly the same company) he had so many problems with it a can't even remember them all, the whole fronst suspension had to be redone (and he definetly didn't offraod in it). elecrtical problems were a plenty, had to remove a fuse for the radio to stop when he turned off the car, CEL always on for weeks after an oil change ...yadda yadda yadda ...meanwhile my mom had been driving a taurus, and i was driving my focus and we never had one with either... i used to bust his chops about buying it all the time. if something went wrong with his cars i'd say well you bought a GM what'd you expect ?
