I like minivans for young drivers. Good safety ratings and decidedly "not cool" to discourage spirited driving.
Up through 2001, it was the Lima 2.3 (2.5 in 1999-2001). Good durable engine, but I would rather have the Duratec.I wondered whether the Ranger had the old Pinto (Lima?) 2.3 (SOHC?) or the Duratec/Mazda DOHC engine.
In my experience, the 2.3 Duratec is a very good engine.

I’d probably get laughed out of my driveway if I brought it home.
Your teenage years must’ve looked quite different than mine… cause it didn’t matter what we all drove, it was getting hammered and backseat was getting “used.”I like minivans for young drivers. Good safety ratings and decidedly "not cool" to discourage spirited driving.

Another potential 1st rig for my son
