"For my requirements, it is ideal. It has three rows of seating; removable for carrying boxes; or, for sleeping. Versatile! The 90* seats are good for posture."

"I have a 2008 uplander and it has been nothing but problems. The ABS, TCS and stability system all went out at the sametime. The dealer has no idea whats going on and I'm not the only owner with the same problems. Do your research on this one or just buy a Honda."

"I have had my Uplander for three years and love it. I am always going to auctions and yard sales looking for furniture. I have so much room, have no fear to cart it all home......Love the ride, feel secure in it. Love driving it, I am a five foot, 130 lb. women and do not find it too big to handle. Love, love, love the back up sensor. As far as vans go, it is the best looking one out there, too bad they stopped making them."

"So disappointed Again and again. I have loved GM especially Chevy products my whole life (53) as did my father. But I have owned my 2008 chevy (GM Certified Used) for almost 3 years now, and it turned out to be the absolut worst vehicle I have ever owned. The van is pretty nice looking and very comfortable to drive. The problem is all the problems with it and most of them the dealer can't correct them like the check engine light,no heater, transmission jerking between 40 & 50 mph, the alarm system and the traction control system. They where able to fix by replacing the R/L FRT hub assy's, seat belt twice, CAT/CONV, fuel injectors, bassel R/door, CD Player, battery, O2 sensor and life gate strut. I do love Chevy's but I've lost faith where it comes to uplander. Also I have went thru 3 sets of tires already."

"I have owned our uplander for almost 2 years now it has 56000 miles on it. I'd have to say that it has been pretty good. I read other reviews before I bought it and haven't ran into any of those issues. The performance is great it handles well has the get up and go when you need it. The brakes work great to. The styling is different you dont see many things on the road that look like it. Plenty of room inside for my family and myself. Now the bad since we have owned it there has been some electrical issues such as, the car not starting which turned out to be something with the alarm system on the car. Then we had to replace the brake control computer. For us so far it has been a great vehicle"
