Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Strong powertrains, dual-passenger access doors, multiple wheelbase and passenger configurations, optional all-wheel drive.
Cons
- Plasticky interior, handling still awkward despite improvements.
What’s new
The Express van gains numerous improvements for the '03 model year. Under the hood, the Express now features GM's lineup of powerful Vortec engines, from the base 200-horsepower V6 all the way up to the hard-charging 300-hp 6.0-liter V8. All-wheel-drive models are also available for the first time, and all Express vans get four-wheel disc brakes with ABS. New driver-side 60/40 access doors have been added as an option along with revised front-end styling, larger stabilizer bars and a stronger frame. Inside, the Express gets redesigned seats, improved lighting and ventilation systems, more storage and dual-stage airbags on all light-duty versions.
Edmunds says
With the addition of new engines and features, the Express (and its twin, the GMC Savanna) is pretty much the only game in town if you're looking for a full-size van that doesn't look and drive like it was designed two decades ago.

2003 Chevy Express 1500 AWD w/ 4th Door
Phitter,02/27/2003
1500 AWD 3dr Van (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
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.

BANG FOR THE BUCK!
WILDCAT,03/03/2003
2500 Rwd 3dr Van (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
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.

2500 Rwd 3dr Van (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
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.

2003 express van comments
PCMS,10/21/2003
3500 Rwd 3dr Ext Van (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
THE MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE IS
THAT THERE ARE NO AFTERMARKET PRODUCTS
AVAILABLE, NO BUG SHIELD, NO HOOD BRAS
ETC. BODY IS CONSTRUCTED OF THINNER
METAL THAN WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER
NORMAL. I COMPARED IT TO MY DODGE VAN.
THE WAY THE PLASTIC INTERIOR WALLS
INTERLOCK IS A DISGRACE, ESPECIALLY AT
THE PRICE I PAID. SOME PLASTIC JUST
LAYS IN PLACE, NO INTERLOCKING …
MECHANISM. THE TOUTED OIL CHANGE LIGHT
IS USELESS TO ME, IT GOES OFF AT 7000
MILES, I CHANGE MY OIL EVERY 3000. THE
STEP UP, IF YOU ARE A SHORT PERSON, IS
IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT HOLDING ON TO THE
SEAT AND PULLING YOURSELF IN.

Should I lease or buy a 2003 Chevrolet Express?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
