looking into MPV
 

hello all

i'm looking into possibly buying an MPV (05 or 06 most likely). i would appreciate your general comments about the vans, especially about transmission issues. i've read many reviews with comments about transmission problems - herky shifting seems to the be most troubling.

i also wanted to know if anyone has done any successful mods in terms of improving MPG. K&N filters help? maybe gutting out the stock airbox? pipping in colder air? headers are apparently not an option but i did find a couple of options for free flowing catalytic converters. i don't want to transform my future minivan into a noisebox and/or a big civic but i really would be interested in some of these mods for improving MPG - thanks
