Article Abstract:
Ford Motor Co's 1990-1997 Aerostar models feature four-wheel-drive systems and offer either 3.0-liter engines, which produce sufficient power, or 4.0-liter V-6 engines, which provide extra muscle. Either engine furnishes only roughly 15 mpg in city/suburban driving and little over 20 mpg on the highway. Traction can be a problem in rain or snow with rear-drive Aerostars. Ride quality is another drawback even with the long wheel base. Although these Aerostar models are stable and well controlled, their suspensions produce a rather harsh experience over bumps.

Article Abstract:
General Motors Corp's 1997-1999 Chevrolet Venture models retain the flexibility of the convenient modular seating concept and their optional driver-side sliding door opens wide enough to permit access to the third row of seats. This generation addresses problems with visibility by doing away with the long, sloped front-roof pillars. Steering is precise, body lean is moderate in turns and the all-season tires grip securely. The 3.4- liter V-6 engine produces sufficient acceleration for nearly every usage.

Article Abstract:
DaimlerChrysler Corp's 1995-1999 Dodge Stratus models feature the exterior dimensions of compact cars but provide the interior rooms of mid-sized models. Passengers will enjoy plenty of leg space in the front and rear areas. Visibility is excellent at all angles excpet the rear. Large trunks with flat floors and low liftovers give these Stratus models good cargo- carrying ability. Overall, these well-equipped models are a good buy.
