That's me, Henri.  I drove FCs daily until the first Caravans hit the 
street, and I bought one.  (Well, in truth I bought a Plymouth 
Voyager.)  I continued in Chrysler minivans, including the extended 
length 6-cylinder models, until the PT Cruiser appeared, and I bought one.

Anyway, I still own and drive FCs.  But the only thing similar about 
a Corvair truck and a Chrylser minivan is that you sit higher than in 
a car, and you can carry a lot.

FCs are quirky, and generally, people either like the driving 
dynamics or they don't.  They are indeed susceptible to crosswinds, 
and this susceptibility is amplified or lessened by tire choices, 
suspension condition, and alignment.

FCs happen to *fit* me perfectly -- I find the driving position to be 
ideal, and I never get tired or sore behind the wheel.  But others 
express the opposite, so I suggest a test-drive.
