1998 GMC Safari SLE review from North America
"Great vehicle performance wise and looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Have not had any major problems. Couple little things that was done by a previous "mechanic'. wouldn't start in the rain. They broke the distributor housing when installing a new cap and never told anyone. But overall great van.
General comments?
This makes the 3rd Gm van. We had 2 astros prior and no real complaints. Bought this 98 Safari AWD and really happy with it.
Were looking into a newer caravan and could have got a much newer one with lower miles for what we paid for this, but did not want a "disposable' caravan. I would continue buying astro / Safari vans.
Gas mileage isn't great, but then again it is a truck not a mini van!
