I have had mine brand new through my company since 2015. The electric locks no longer work on either front doors. Avoid every pot hole, because it feels like the wheels are coming off and prepare to have the front end aligned every other pot hole. Also be prepared for your butt to continuously be puckered on the interstate. I recommend getting a brighter headlight bulb, sticks suck. My only pro for this van is that it is free to drive, but safety comes first and this van lacks it.

When I got this van I loved it. I see some reviews stating that it's slow, but it's only slow on takeoff (like a golf cart) and that's because it has a continuous variable transmission (CVT), which is supposed to save gas (don't see how it possibly could). I drive between 95 and 115mph daily on the highway. How fast does it need to be? I also see reviews dinging it for cargo space compared to others. The only van of its size that I have found to have more room is the Ram. The Ford Transit (small one) does not have more room for cargo and it also doesn't have a 3/4 ton load capacity (nor overhead clearance) like the City Express, which you can actually load a full pallet into (including 50-25lb bags of rock salt), with a forklift and still have some room in front of the pallet. It's a small cargo van, if you need more room, choose a bigger van (the 'Big 3' make at least 3 different size cargo vans depending on what you need). This little van has a higher load capacity than my full sized pickup and gets between 25-35mpg. Why my bad rating, you ask? Because despite the decent things I mentioned above, there are a lot of cons people should know before buying one of these tin cans. *Body mechanics are total garbage. The door handles and latches are the cheapest junk metal they could find to build these. Passenger door won't open, driver side side door won't open, rear door handle sticks open and has to be maneuvered manually to keep it from flying open, passenger side door latch doesn't spring back on its own, has to be tripped to close it. The only door that still works good is the one that gets used the most (ironically)- the driver door. *14 gallon gas tank means the decent gas mileage doesn't stop you having to get gas daily (or in my case, twice a day). *The windshield is cursed. I have had to replace my windshield 3 times in 2 years. Seems a mosquito splatting against it will crack it. *Requires 6 ply tires and most tire shops refuse to put regular tires on it- so instead of $40/tire, it's $180/tire. And it EATS tires (but that could be my high speed driving on them). Front tires bald within a year, rear tires like brand new (but seem to always leak and I have to air up all the time). *Odometer is useless if you have a tire that is 1lb under optimal air pressure because the tire sensor hijacks the panel and you can't view anything unless you fill the tire to "perfect" pressure- which sucks when they lose about 20lbs of pressure overnight in the winter. Back tires ALWAYS start leaking after about 3 months on new tires.- cleaned and replaced rims twice to see if that would fix the problem. Nope. The motor in this thing has handled my hard driving habits, but just about every other physical aspect of this van is junk. Chevy should refund everyone for buying this Nissan made garbage and putting their bowties on them.
