Could have been better
Joe Chase, 02/20/2005
1991 Chevrolet Sportvan G20 Beauville 3dr Ext Van
The paint job began flaking off after only 4 years. Appears to be some sort of wax in the undercoating. GM repainted for free but with two years the paint began peeling again. Had problem with oil leak in cylinder after 46,000 miles. Replaced engine. Was told that engine barely passed emmisions. Habitual A/C refrigerant leakage. Heater takes forever.

1991 Chevrolet Sportvan G20 3dr Van
The van is very dependable,very easy
and comfortable to drive. The only
negative is the gas mileage-about 12-14
mpg in the city.

'92 G20

1992 Chevrolet Sportvan G20 3dr Ext Van
I bought a '92 chevy G20 conversion van for courier duty. The van seems to have aged badly, but as it's still running at 165k miles, the quality is at least decent. The van drives better than I expected, considering I drive on bad country roads. The soft steering and soggy suspension give the impression of being in a boat, but it holds the road well. Normal driving gets about 14mpg, … with 16mpg (using 89 fuel, 87 gets about half a mile less per gallon) on the highway if I keep it at sixty. The power windows and reverse lights don't work, and the steering wheel lock jams and makes it difficult to remove the key. Overall, though, it runs well enough considering what I paid for it.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 1996 Chevrolet Sportvan, so we've included reviews for other years of the Sportvan since its last redesign.
