I drove a couple a few times (at the front end shop in MN) and they
did not handle well on the ice.


I had a 91 Grand Caravan, it was comfortable and got 25 mpg. If I
took the seats out I could sleep in the back or carry full sheets of plywood.
It was not a VW where I could do those things without pulling the seats.
