2007 Chevrolet Uplander review from North America
"Decent minivan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This van was a rental.
The sliding door on the passenger side if not slammed with force would not close completely, making the interior lights stay on and a reminder on the instrument panel would tell you the passenger door is not closed.
Even though the van only had 54000 km's the front suspension or steering components made a noise like a wheel bearing crackle or a loose tie rod.
The head rest from the rear seat gave this van a huge blindspot.
Passing on the highway would make the van feel wobbly.
General comments?
The interior is very roomy and the seats are very comfortable.
The exterior design is elegant looking, not like Chrysler minivans.
I'm not sure what size V6 engine the Uplander has, all I know is that it consumes gas like a big V6.
If I were to purchase a minivan, I would consider the Uplander if gas prices and costs were not a huge factor.
