2007 Chevrolet Uplander LT 4dr Ext Minivan w/2LT (3.9L 6cyl 4A)
Review
I purchased this van after I traded in a 2001 Venture. I have owned 2 Ventures and was again looking for a GM product. I was going to buy an HHR, but my wife saw this Uplander on the dealerships used car lot, and she fell in love with it. I just returned from a 2000+ mile trip through Virginia and West Virginia, and was really surprised how much improved this van is compared to my two previous Venture vans. The ride and handling are just awesome! The 3.9 V- 6 has plenty of power, and the 4-wheel disc brakes are a enormous improvement over any Venture's brakes. Overall, a smash hit at my house!
Favorite Features
DVD player, 3.9 V-6, 4-wheel disc brakes. Overall styling
Suggested Improvements
Since it is no longer produced, I feel that this is irrevelant.

Review
Out of 1 year I have owned vehicle, it has been in the service shop 6 times because of passenger sliding door problems. It's either the door gets stuck in fully opened position (2x), 'pops' back open after closing, closes partially then stops. Door has been out of alignment 4 times, and the the front passenger door was out of alignment once. Other consumers have reported door opened while car was in motion. Chevy has been unable to fix and seems to be stymied.
Favorite Features
Roominess, gas mileage.
Suggested Improvements
Second row seats need improvement, like standard captain's chairs or at least wider seats. These are uncomfortable for passengers.

Review
Out of the 6 months I have owned this van, it has been in the shop 5 times. Since I bought it certified used thinking I was getting a deal, the lemon law does not apply and I am stuck with it because of the low resale and trade in value. My advice, choose another van. The cheaper price is not worth it. I will never buy another Chevy.
Favorite Features
NONE
Suggested Improvements
Reliability, Middle seat cupholders and arm rests, power back windows, side airbags, a computer that doesn't say I have 70 miles of gas left and then runs out, fold flat 3rd row, a descent turning radius, front console, doors that don't freeze shut in the winter, I could go on all day.

Review
Ever since buying this brand new vehicle, we have had nothing but problems. Two weeks after purchase it was misfiring on 1 & 4 sparkplugs. Then the stability traction control comes on when you don't expect it. You'll be driving on dry pavement and then all of a sudden the abs comes on. Had the ebcm changed twice, the yaw censor changed but the problem keeps happening. Its really scary when your driving down the road at 70 km/h and the abs start applying for no reason. At first the code c0196 came up and now nothing comes up, it doesn't even store it in the computer. The dealer doesn't know what to do and GM isn't too concerned. I drive this with my 3 kids and I'm scared to death. Beware!

Review
I bought a Braun Entervan (a Chevy Uplander that has been converted by the Braun Corporation for wheelchairs) 7 months ago and have had it in the shop 15 times. The ramp was improperly installed, the Smart box failed, the Braun wiring harness was broken, and the Braun applied weatherstripping fell off (I had a GM dealer fix some of these problems). I've also had Onstar problems, seatbelt, and molding problems that are GM issues. The initial quality was very low.
Favorite Features
I actually like the styling of the Uplander and the paint is better than average.
Suggested Improvements
Better quality control at the factory.

Review
Great car for an extended family. We just added a new baby to our family and the ease of the remote sliding doors on both sides really helps my wife and I get the boys in and out. The DVD players and wireless headsets are awesome. We can listen to what we want and they can watch their kiddy movies. I also love all the safty features, I am glad we bought this one.
Favorite Features
DVD, lots of cup holders, sliding doors
Suggested Improvements
I hate the resale value. I bought it $33000 and as soon as I drove it off the lot the mini van lost $15,000 of value. Make sure you buy GAP insurance.

Review
We just got our minivan. Great look! Looks like an SUV but with sliding doors. Drives nicely. The extended version always has a smoother ride. But I can't complain. Very nice on the highway.
Favorite Features
OnStar. This thing rocks! I could call in any adress or site in North America and they give you the directions on your dashboard! Great for long distance driving. I just have a piece of mind knowing that if anything happens to my vehicle I just call on star and help will come to you.
Suggested Improvements
Good luck trying to find rims and tires for winter. The Uplander comes with a rare 6 bolt 17 inch rim. I Guess you just have to go to your dealer to get winter tires. Although a gas guzzler. I believe they should put the SFI fuel economy on all Uplanders.

Review
I bought this "07 Uplander with 12000 mi. on it.As others have said it does resemble an SUV.This is my first van purchase and I am surprised at the ease of handling,smooth ride,excellent braking and adequate power. The exterior look is better than the normal van and the 17" wheels put it in another class.I'm so glad I discovered this van as I had never heard of it before a month ago.Love it!
Favorite Features
All of the above, looks, ride, brakes, wheels, etc. and the price is about $10,000 less than an Odyssey.
Suggested Improvements
The biggest improvements would be stow and go rear seats and removable second row seats also my LS didn't come with a front console. Of course this would add probably another $1000. or so to the cost.

Review
Good warranty but not up to Kia. It's about time Asian companies started to force GM to back thier vehicles instead of thier pathetic 3/36 coverage. Seats are not well designed with some seats missing armrests in some models. Standard model lacks side air bags. Engine is cramped for having a large front end. Cheap to buy 1 year old due to fact they don't sell very well. May be best kept secret.
Favorite Features
Price. Buy 1 year old dirt cheap due to lousy resale value.
Suggested Improvements
Fix the warranty. Fix the looks. Add side air bags to all models. Add fold flat rear seats to all models. Add ability to remove middle seats on all models. Put arm rests on all the seats. Go easy on the plastic.
