2006 Chevrolet Uplander LS from North America - Comments

Nothing yet, it's a good riding vehicle. I was actually surprised.

I'm not a Chevy person by any means, but I was actually impressed with the Uplander. It's kinda ugly, and the interior is cheap and the windows make you feel as if you're completely exposed to the world. But it's a nice riding vehicle that will get you from point A to point B without trouble.

On the freeway the acceleration is really decent. The only thing is that when you're in stop and go traffic, the van jerks a little bit.

I drive a Pontiac Montana which is in the same family with Chevrolet, my Montana jerks in heavy traffic too.

2006 Chev Uplander...13 months old and it has been a perfect van. No recalls, excellent gas mileage for such load carrying capacity; that is 7 persons or less with much luggage. Have had about 5 oil changes, it has 24000 kilometres that is 15000 miles and that has been the only service. I am extremely pleased with the Chev. It kind of looks real aggressive and was at least $10,000 less than minivans from the Japanese suppliers. Too bad GM will stop producing the Chev Uplander and also Pontiac's Montana...2007 will be last production year. Excellent pricing right now on these great vans... I would buy another in a "heartbeat".

Hello all. I am so happy to have read these comments. I have been contemplating the purchase of this vehicle with all of my research and prayers I have found that it has not ever been recalled, no negative comments to sway a decision and only because of the "ugly duckling" syndrome I have had reservations from the younger members of the family however, safety and quality are my concerns and it just so happens to be in my budget so here goes to the purchase of a Chevy Uplander.

I used to drive a Chevy Venture. Sloppy handling, even for a minivan. My 2005 Uplander drives beautiful, even brilliantly, for a minivan. Steering's great as well. Makes me love driving a van.Had to replace rear windshield wiper motor, as it stopped working. Has a 3.5 litre engine. Could use a bit more grunt, though.

I am the owner of a 2006 Uplander. In for it's first maintenance @ 48,500 km (other than oil changes). It only required rear brakes. Usually the fronts go first and then the rears. Brakes are disc on all 4 corners. It is used daily on a 50km commute in Brampton (Toronto area, cold, salt, snow) and has been a perfect vehicle.

You can buy brand new now @ less than $16,000 Canadian dollars. That is entry level pricing for a V6, automatic, air, power windows and mirrors and 7 passenger seating. Gas mileage is also very good for this size vehicle. Great time to buy GM autos. I am very happy with my purchase. Go Ellie go!!!
