2005 Chevrolet Uplander

Pros: Integrated child seat, DVD player (when it worked), lots of cargo space

Cons: Brakes and rotors often, automatic sliding doors do not work, takes 5 tries to start

The Bottom Line: It is roomy but, it handles lousy, has a noisy interior and the power sliding doors and DVD player broke. Lots of vans are roomy, you can find better.

Review: I ve had the Chevy Uplander for almost three years, and I m counting the days until my lease is up. It is not the worst vehicle I ve ever had, I once had a Beretta that racked up a monthly repair bill that rivaled my rent at the time, but I have had...

Pros: Lots of Room and features, very comfortable, everything we were looking for!

Cons: A little more power would of been nice, front dash plain.

The Bottom Line: Very good Van, Comfortable and lots of room, drives and handles better than any previous GM Van, exactly what we were looking for!

Review: First a little history on my recent vehicles

I used to have a 95 Windstar several years back and liked the idea of a Van but the Windstar was plagued with problems, and had nothing but trouble when ever we tried towing our tent trailer...

Pros: WIFE LIKES, DVD FOR KIDS, SAT FOR DAD, GREAT VAN FOR LONG TRIPS.

Cons: NOT LIKE 2005,ALOT OF PROBLEMS, IN SHOP A LOT. CHEVY RED TAG PRICE A JOKE

Review: STYLE IS SHORTER THAN 2005. HOOD IS DIFFERENT. TO GET A GOOD MODEL NEED TO GET A LT2 MODEL. GAS MILIAGE IS VERY UP AND DOWN. THE 2005 HAS $3500 REBATE IS A BETTER DEAL, 2006 HAS A $1500 REBATE AND WITH RED TAG SALE LOOSE REBATE ALL TOGETHER. CHEVY...

Pros: Power on the highway is phenominal. DVD-head phones are wireless. Strong face. Redesigned tough looking.

Cons: Interior colour grey dirties with every touch. cheap upolstry

Review: I was determined not to buy a minivan. I loved the Equinox, the Passat, the Murano even. When I sat in the Uplander for the first time. (short wheel base) I didn't feel like I was in a van. It rides high like a truck. I can keep all the seats in and...

Pros: DVD player, MP3 player, more room than it seems

Cons: So far I don't have any complaints

Review: As a former SUV driver with a slightly expanded family, I was not thrilled with the idea of a minivan, but sometimes the family dictates your life. I did some research on the computer ahead of time and this was the only van I drove. I loved it!...

Pros: Nice in the beginning....

Cons: Everything else....

Review: Flickering headlights, moaning awd, turns like the Queen Mary. Transmission, door motor and rotors. Oh and the radio station changing on its own??

How can you turn and resurface warped rotars and why would you need to replace them again...

Pros: lots of features for the money.

Cons: engine replacement, and multiple other issues

The Bottom Line: Do not buy this van. Chevrolet had a great van with the Venture, I don't know what went wrong with the Uplander, but it has multiple issues!!

Review: I had owned the previous Chevrolet Venture and had it for over 100K and it was NEVER in the shop except for regular maintance of oil changes and tires, etc.

From day 1 my uplander has been un reliable. It has been in the shop about as much...

Pros: Appearance, handling, DVD player

Cons: none!

Review: I have owned my 2005 Uplander LT since May 2005. I never thought that I would own a minivan again. I was driving a 2000 Suburban. My husband and I had planned to trade for another Suburban or Tahoe. While driving through the lot, I saw the Uplander...

Pros: Love the room, body style, handling, power is good.

Cons: Keeps breaking down, gets depressing, this is new, shouldnt be happening.

The Bottom Line: I would not recommend this van, after my own personal experience.

Review: We bought this van instead of a trailblazer, wish we would've opted for the trailblazer now. The Van does have a lot of room inside with seating for 7. The dvd and sound system are really good. It handles and accelerates great, the wider 17" tires...

Pros: DVD wireless headphones, OnStar

Cons: Body molding fit needs to be addressed at the factory

Review: I purchased a Uplander LS three weeks ago. Really happy with the the vehicle, lots of perks and a reasonable price. The 17" aluminum wheels really make it standout, and one year free OnStar is a nice bonus as well! I test drove all the mini-vans...
