4.  Needs a better ventalation

Yes, The noise is annoying.

                NOw this is interesting.  I've done extensive
research on this one.   What I've found is most of the wind
noise is created as the wind strikes the front end.  The vents
just add to it.  Moving the front end out and having some small
hood make a world of improvement.  Unknown to the buyer
this may be why we have the small front protrusion and hoods
on all mini-vans today.  I've been looking for a way aroun this
one for years.  Only way is to drive slower, under 65 MPH.
