I've had a 1990 and a 1993 Chrysler mini van. I put over 200k on both and aside from the expected transmission troubles, which they claim to have fixed now, they both gave excellent service. My family and I took them all over the States a number of times. They are good for kids because you can take out the middle seat, I guess the newer ones fold down, and they can play/sleep in the middle area. The 3.3 Mitsubishi engine is the best I have ever seen. In all those miles I NEVER touched the engine. A couple of water pumps and some belt tensioner, but never any repairs to the engine.
