These vans are dimensionally similar to the Eurovan and much easier to
support (AWD is a plus) but the ergonomics are so bad that I wouldn't
consider it.  The driver position is barely acceptable.  There is
virtually no foot-room for the front seat passenger.  The government
owns thousands of them and I hate driving them for more than 1-2 hours
at a time.
