- Well, I can't resist another chance to warn off someone about the
- ASTRO/SAFARI. I owned an ASTRO (1986), it went through a lot of the problems
- described by the previous poster. I bought another (SAFARI flavored)
- after 3 years to take advantage of ABS, AWD, extended body, bigger engine,
- etc. Sold it after 6 months due to quality problems. In the shop every
- 2 weeks, sometimes the same problem, sometimes new problems. I couldn't take
- it anymore. Wrote to GM, argued all the way up the food chain for
- replacement. No deal. I cut my losses and bought another vehicle from
- another manufacturer. Your mileage may vary. Stellar feature-set on this
- iron, but they couldn't deliver the goods. For a longer version of
- what went wrong with my ASTRO/SAFARI, send mail. Not for the faint of heart
- though...
