My father and I are looking into getting one of these vans for his picture framing business and it looks to be a good van for hauling supplies and making deliveries. Looking at a used fourth generation, maybe 2007-08 or newer.
Anyone here have any experience with these vans? Things to look for? Problem areas? Thanks for any help! |

The company I work for has one and I can't stand it other than around town. It's the only vehicle I've ever driven that is both under-powered and under-weight. It has the exact same drive-train as (I think) the base Contour, other than the gearing, pushing a rather large brick through the air (the under-powered part). And to get the 1500LB payload they had to cut the weight as much as possible, meaning any breeze makes it want to change lanes (the under-weight part). If his business is all local, no highway, it might be OK, but much highway driving would make me look for another vehicle. Just my opinion, ymmv, etc.
