- I'm on my second Aerostar - the second Ford I've owned - and I
- love it. You're right about the engine compartment space. On
- the positive side, there is v-e-r-y little tune-up work to do,
- and you can easily change the spark plugs from the bottom after
- you remove the front wheels. Really! Hey, you can reach the
- oil filter pretty easily.

- Most minivans are no better in engine accessibility.
