Bought this van 5 years ago with 80k. With over 180k. Haven't had any power train issues. Just changed front hubs, inner tierods, and struts,shocks. Replaced all the seats from a Venture van. Far more comfortable than the seating that came in the van. Some of the interior is falling apart, but cheap and easily repaired. Love the power and handling. Plan to drive this thing into the ground, if I can. Typical GM, parts are inexpensive and readily available. Kids broke outside door handle, pick a good used one at a salvage yard from a 2000 Suburban. Direct fit.

All the dash lights come on, the front end makes funny noises, especially when turning left, the radio display is blank most of the time, one of the sliders doesn't open more than 8 inches, the cup-holder is very loose as are the ventilation ducts on the dash-board, and the rear hatch support pistons are shot. However, with 211,000 miles, she runs strong, always starts and that's what matters!

I saw in another review a claim of 27.6 MPG. I was also pleasantly surprised in this area. We have been as high as 27.9. We came out of an HHR and it took some getting used to, but this is a damn good buy. The price was very liveable, and we have not found any defect so far. It handles well for a van of any type and the ride is very smooth. Good power. I am waiting for winter to see what effects Traction control and Stabili-trac combined will provide. Overall, I think it is a well thought out vehicle

We loved our 9 year old Venture but had to replace it. The Uplander LS lacks some of the comfort features we took for granted but it's a good follow-on. Missing are the swing out electric powered windows at the far rear as well as a front seat storage drawer and other storage spaces the Venture had. All the seats are not as wide or plush as the Venture but they're not bad. On the highway, it's quieter than the Venture and ours gets about 26 MPG. Around town, MPG is about the same. Handling is excellent and steering isn't overly sensitive and unforgiving like some SUVs I've driven. Van is great looking and a pleasure to drive.
