I guess there's a degree of subjectivity here as I find the handling very
poor at most any speed.... especially in a cross wind or a high speed turn
with bumps/dips.... I think this suspension along with the height of the van
would be death in the event of a high speed blow out.... another good reason
to buy the best tires and, in my opinion, not to drive over 70 mph...

I guess that's 4 cents now :)
