Great For Family

We have owned a 2005 LT for 7-years, it has been very reliable, comfortable and seating for 7. Overall one of the most affordable vehicles that I have ever owned. The DVD needs older format version DVD's to work.

Still Running

We bought our Uplander new and it serviced my family perfectlyfor years! The kids were not gentle on it and it held up well. We have since bought a new car but I kept my Uplander for trips to the nursery to haul plants and soil. We don’t do much maintenance on it anymore but it continues to run despite several lingering issues. It rarely starts on the first…. or second try but I still love her and it gets me from A to B when I need it to. Come on baby, momma still still needs you!

worst vehicle i've ever owned! was the happiest day of my life when it was gone!!! we had to bring it to the dealership almost every week for a new electrical issue...we drove a loaner car more than the van we purchased.

Nice Exterior, Cheap Interior, Plain Jane.

I like the min-van concept, but there are better ones out there. The seats are cheaply made and wear easily. The power doors are not dependable. I like the looks of the Uplander and the 3.5 engine has been a bit under-powered, but is dependable. This mini-van has been an excellent second vehicle as it hauls a lot of items with the seats out. However, the seats are very hard to remove and reinstall.

This car stinks

It's a crappy Chevy and has a weedy engine with a very low appeal to the sure it's a ducky Chevy and no one likes it it is garbage

Excelent car for the money paid.

Car, 2007 Chevrolet Uplander is very comfortable, with quiet engine and very smooth ride. It is well designed for passengers and a lot of cargo.

Nice, simple ride

Affordable ride for our family of six. Fits the budget at this point in our lives. Has helped us cover 5,000 miles this summer. We enjoy the DVD player, leather, and captain chairs in the middle row.

2005 Chevy Uplander

Very comfortable vehicle. Easy to drive with plenty of power. Great for families that have kids involved in sports. I enjoyed owning this van very much.
