Three words...

Got a match?

I like Ford's full-size vans (at least when powered by a real engine ), but I wouldn't buy one of their minivans...

The Windstar's better than the Aerostar...I'll give it that much.

I think LK1's right about the head gasket problems, but the last time I was on a "general car" forum was a while ago, so that might be outdated or I may be remembering it wrong...

Just my $.02...good luck!
