Review
we are on our 4th 2 still in garage, the best one yet. 95 awd slt conv in garage 93000. some weird repairs( freeze plugs @60k.but overall never! disapointed with car 95 actually gets 22 on highway. i read somewhere about 2 engines in 95( both 4.3}95 has enhanced 4.3 210 hp.the 2000 is the cleanest and best looking van on road. gm is committing suicide by dropping this vehicle. pray for reprieve

Review
Virtually no mechanical problems. Good ride for a full size van. Rear wheel drive is nice for towing large trailers. Children love the mid row captain seats.
Favorite Features
Running board are very useful for children. Rear hatch makes rear view better and loading groceries and such much easier. Rear AC great in the Texas heat.
Suggested Improvements
Some small interior vinyl peices cracked or broke off from fasteners

Review
by the power and the fuel economy. I get about 17 city and 22 to 24 highway. I wish it had better visibility in the rear view mirror but the large side view mirrors are a real plus for safe lane changing.
Favorite Features
Good for pulling camper trailer and lots of rooms for family. Still gets decent mileage when loaded.
Suggested Improvements
Lower the fronts seats for better visibility of traffic lights. Have to lean forward to see sometimes.

Review
Since 1992 we have owned 1 used and 2 new Safari's. We are sad that GMC is discontinuing this line as it is everything a mini-van should be. Reliable and very roomy without being a difficult drive.
Favorite Features
Excellent turning ratio allows you to park in spaces angled in the opposite direction just as though you were driving a small car.
Suggested Improvements
Only negative is the low fuel economy. Maybe GMC will come back with a hybrid or fuel cell version in the future!
gm come clean

Review
bought a 2000.early fluid problems and 57000 miles trans failed. the electronic trans has serious flaws. light weak parts destined to fail. the sun and 1870 code /lose reverse/ valves wear out. had tranny problems under warrannty and got the gm run around . the typical ,could not duplicate problem so they didn't fix nothing. now I sit with a $2000 + repair bill. lots of gm vechiles have this tranny. I am tireing of gm's we have no problems additude, and as long as they get past the 36,000 mile warranty. they don't give a hoot the price of these vechicles they should LAST A LOT LONGER. john q public is getting ripped off.
Favorite Features
like the automatic all wheel drive and the interior functionality for haulin people and your stuff. they need to get there mechanical @##*^^ together though.
Suggested Improvements
come clean with major mechanical problems that are occurring. offer longer standard drivetrain warranty.

Review
Bought New as leftover, had minor electrical problems, rides nice and has lots of torque. Towing is a breeze. Air conditioner not as cold as I like. A sled on Ice, Snow or heavy rain. Hauls a lot easily. Happy with vehicle so far. Like all GM's I've owned are put together a little sloppy. Engine & Tranny Strong.
Favorite Features
Ride, driving position. Towing. Interior room.
Suggested Improvements
Colder air, more attention to detail. Thirsty van.
nice veh.but the gas mileage

Review
I have a '90 Chevy Astro van, so I thought a 2000 Safari would be better. Not so. Had transmissions at 8500 mi. and at 22000 mi. A/C compressor has been replaced at 5000 mi. Engine has a random stumble and sometimes dies, but dealer cannot duplicate and repair. The exhaust tone in the rear of the van is obnoxious. I also find the drivability of the drive train less than it should be.
Favorite Features
Good size van, will carry a lot and pull our camper.
Suggested Improvements
This could be a great van, but serious problems need to be addressed.
