IF YOU WANT POWER, GREAT LOOKS, TONS OF ROOM AND NOT BE LUMPED INTO THE SOCCER MOM MINI VAN CROWED THIS IS THE VAN FOR YOU! BUT WAIT!, WHAT ABOUT THE POOR GAS MILEAGE? GO ON ANY DEALER LOT AND SEE HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS YOU WILL SAVE OVER THEIR MINI VAN COUNTERPARTS. YES, ENOUGH TO OFFSET MANY YEARS OF "MEDIOCRE" GAS MILEAGE.

Review

I have the small V-8 and its gas mileage is ok. When I have alot of weight in it the engine has a hard time, but when its gets on the expressway its gone. I have the cargo van and it's very roomy and fun to drive. I would recommend it to anyone.

Favorite Features

The front end is stylish. The bin package was a great feature and I also have the driver side cargo doors. What an advantage for a large size van.

Suggested Improvements

Better gas mileage.

Review

Chevy doesn't have their act together on this vehicle yet. The assembly is poor. Door & hinge weather gaskets & grommets are missing or falling off. Unpainted sealant on the door hinges and entry areas is present. The fuel fill door compartment is a collection area for road salt and sand. The vehicle is plagued with driveline vibrations and resonance problems. I expected Chevrolet to resolve the issues -- they have not. The interior is the best they offer and it is dull at best. The seats don't belong in a vehicle that lists for over $35,000. The ride is very smooth suspension wise. Acceleration is good when called upon.

Favorite Features

The AWD feature operates as advertised. The turns in parking lots are silky smooth as opposed to traditional 4WD units that "skip" into parking places when they are engaged. The ride, as far as suspension smoothness, is excellent. Very good sound system.

Suggested Improvements

Heated leather seats;Dimming sideview mirrors;Compass and outdoor temp with On-Star;Self-locking doors;Heating element in base of front windshield;Better seat fabric,carpet and sound attenuation;Improve MPG;More room for driver's left foot;Better assembly;Improve driveline resonance;
