BEST CAR WE HAVE OWNED

First of all, we are bigger sized people with disabilities. This is the best vehicle we have found for comfort and getting in and out. It was a beautiful car and the only one my wife actually fell in love with. We bought it at 17,500 miles as an 8 year old car and drove it to 104,500 miles without any break downs. Sadly to say it got totaled 2 weeks ago but we survived. Today I bought a 2013 version of the same ESV with 30K miles and the same Raven Black.

So glad to have purchased this car

I was very sceptical about getting this car at first but i have always wanted one . So my wife told me to follow your first mind . If you don't get it , everytime you see one on the road you will feel it . So i did and have not regretted it . Very nice looking and stylish ,what some call a handsome looking car. Reliable , comfortable and powerful . To me the only thing i would improve on this car is the fuel milage , about 12 in the city and 19 hwy . other than that ....i love it and so does my family . Oh i almost forgot you will not find a better sound system .
