It is a great family car.
There is plenty of room for all 6 of us. It is comfortable and rides smoothly. The automatic doors malfunctioned all of a sudden, but I don't mind manually opening and shutting the side doors.

It gets good gas mileage.
I love the DVD/gaming system and The extra storage in the back. The only thing I dislike is that it feels a little small for a minivan

This is a very reliable and dependable car.
No major problems with my 2006 uplander. It has been a good reliable car and very good seating. Plenty of room for my grandchildren. Oil changes and new brake pads is all that has been done. I would recommend this uplander for anyone that wants a reliable and dependable car.

I like the size. It's comfortable to get in and out. Too wide turns. Good on gas, and so far at 150000 miles performing well.

It runs good and save you money on gas
I love my van, there is plenty of room. It has not given me any problems. The only thing i dislike is when the dvd player in the van makes the dvd's hot when they come out.
Pamela S

Best family oriented vehicle.
It has almost 200,000 miles I have no major issues ever and it is a daily freeway driver love it best vehicle ever. Built in car seat was great for the grandkids as was the built in DVD player with drop down screen and wireless headphones. Room for the whole family and great on gas.
Brooke S

The DVD player is great and my son likes the built in car seat.
I love my uplander. It fits all of my kids and is great on gas. It also has a built in car seat for my 4 year old. And it also has a built in DVD player which is great for road trips.

I like that you can control the rear door locks from the front . I like the way it way it handles. And I like the way it drives. I have no complaints

Chevy Uplander Minivan. Good for camping, & or for going on family vacations. The DVD Player really makes road trips allot more easier
I bought it from a used car lot approx. A year ago. The reasons why I decided to buy it are because I liked how it looks sporty. The windows are tinted & the tint is still in tack. It seats 7 people which I really like because I have Grandchildren & that leads me to another reason I bought this van. The DVD player. It's seated upfront on the ceiling between the driver & passenger seats with easy access to push play, pause, & stop. As well as easy viewing for those riding in the back. Another feature I like is that it has 2 sliding doors making it easy when hauling passengers to get in & out of. I also like the hatch back it makes it easy for hauling groceries without them falling out & rolling all over the place. Other features it has are #1) Cruise Control (Still working) #2) Air Conditioning (Still working) #3) Electric Windows (Still working), Side Mirrors (Still working), & Locks (Not working from drivers side door, but still works from passenger side door), #4 (Digital info button displays on dash. With the option to choose your language)

It's great when needing to pack but savings gas.
It's a little touchy on the gas but over all runs great. It needs a new oil filter and I just replaced the bulbs.

Chevy Uplander: A great family car
Great milage, power everything, good features like DVD and CD player, anti lock brakes, buttons to control the radio on the steering wheel.
David Skinner
on September 28, 2020
Very reliable wit plenty of power!
Reliability and power are a couple of great features of this van. The rear seats are very heavy and hard to remove and reinstall . If you have it tuned up, be ready to pay up! The V6 spark plugs are very hard to get to. The engine mounts are unbolted and the engine jacked forward to reach the plugs! Besides that we have had the van over 10 years and it's never let us down! Excellent heater and rear A/C! Love this van and I wish GM would start making them again!!!
Mandy K
on September 27, 2020
Overall satisfied with Chevy Uplander
I've owned this vehicle for about 3 years now and have no substantial issues with it. I bought it used and the electric sliding doors didn't work, but otherwise everything is functional. I've only had to pay for routine maintenance. My kids have enjoyed having the DVD player. It has close to 200,000 miles at this point.
Rhonda R
on September 17, 2020
The Chevy Uplander is great for style and comfort.
The Uplander is comfortable and seats seven. My Uplander is good on gas when driving the highway and has lost of storage space. The air conditioning as well as the heat work great and steady. The Uplander can be very spacious when seats are out or folded up. Enough room to sleep or to haul things.

Expense
Very expensive to maintain and repair, expensive to operate. Poor gas milage. Very much overengineered. Sorry i bought this car. Should have bought a honda.
Brenda R

I have problem with the power steel.
I have problems with de doors, they stuck a lot, the power steel is my big problem, there are cost to much in repairs. And the lights,I do know is something with electric problem, but they turn off a lot, every light cost almost 20 dlls. And the labor is expensive.
Terry B
on August 9, 2020
Not sure. Everyone's needs are different.
It is a nice vehicle but actually a little small for us. But doing what we have to do. Cannot fit my son's specialty wheelchair so had to get him a travel one. So it fits with his hoyer lift.

Kirsten M
on July 27, 2020
It is easy to drive and easy to keep clean.
I have had to get the transmission changed already. Otherwise it runs very well. I do feel like perhaps I need to get the oil changed more often than what is normal. It is sturdy and holds a lot of people. It is reliable and easy to drive. Easy to keep clean if you have pets as well.
Angela S
on July 24, 2020
My sanctuary: I used to spend my lunch hours in my van reading and taking a nap.
I have had my van for 12 years. I have had to have some bigger repairs on it throughout the years, but mechanically it is still in good shape. My biggest complaint about the van is the windshield wipers which fold down under the hood. It has plenty of room in it and I have used it for my kids, my grandkids, girl scouts and traveling. I love my van!
Debbie H

It a great family vehicle and easy to install car seats in.
I like the space the islander provides for my family of 5 (plus my husky). I dislike that the gas mileage is not the greatest. I like that the car is reliable and low maintenance.
Roxy P
on June 26, 2020
Having purchased a used van, I would definitely purchase a brand new one, however it unfortunately is not being made anymore.
Seats easily come out for extra room, great visibility, rides comfortably & smoothly, has lots of "get up & go"!

Children enjoy DVD player.
Very reliable, roomy enough for grandkids. Never let me down. No major issues. Not a gas guzzler. Easy to handle, enjoyable to drive. Easy to maintain, handles well on long distances. All the drivers love the way it handles. Will keep it for as long as it runs well.

Susanne S
on June 3, 2020
When we go on long trips, , it has a dvr for passengers. Riding in the back seats.
I like that the passenger doors slide open and shut. Automatically and that it has backup beep which. Sounds when I am backing up and am close to the. Car behind me. I do not have any complaints about. My vehicle. I do not want another vehicle at this. Time.

It's a great vehicle for family
It's a really great van it's tough like a truck. We got stuck in a bad snow storm and we was able to get out of our driveway with this van. It's spacious for family and animals. It's good on gas. The frame is tough we got rear ended and it just dented the bumper.
Pamela F

Angela V

It's been a good, reliable van for the last 12 years.
I love my van! It's so open and roomy in the front and tons of space in the back. The only thing I don't like is the windshield wiper blades. They tuck down under the hood and you can't pull them out to clean snow from under them, you have to open the hood.
Nana J
on May 20, 2020
Good small family car. Reliable.
I travel back and forth to Omaha and my 120 lb. Dog rides comfortably in the back to accompany me. It's comfortable on these 6 hour trips and I have had no major issues as long as I have owned it.
CHARLES S
on April 24, 2020
ITS ROOMY AND VERY AFFORDABLE. I WISH THEY WOULD STILL BE MAKING THEM
IT IS VERY SPACIOUS FOR MY 8 NUMBER FAMILY. THE ONLY ISSUES I'VE HAD WERE REGULAR ROUTINE ISSUES. CURRENTLY I NEED TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2014 FROM A USED CAR DEALER AND THIS IS THE FIRST ISSUE I'VE HAD.
Erin H
on April 18, 2020
Not for traveling! But otherwise a decent van.
Not a very smooth ride, feels more like a truck with less than optimal suspension. It really lacks in the back cargo area. We have a family of 6 and we fill it just on a normal ride- so traveling is over packed and we are always having to climb over and around luggage. However, outside of having to pack anything extra is seats us comfortably. Not my favorite purchase, but gets us where we need to be, reasonably.
Jill B
on April 15, 2020
Chevrolet is in it for the long haul.
I have driven this van since 2006 and it has almost 240k miles. The body still looks good with just a tiny rust spot and the transmission is acting up a little in cold weather but this van has done amazing by me and my family. I would definitely choose a Chevrolet for my next vehicle as this one has been a great purchase for me, you couldn't ask for much more than what I have gotten out of this vehicle in the past 13 years.
Liz P
on April 9, 2020
Downside to Owning an Uplander
I had to replace the transmission at 75,000 miles. The steering wheel is difficult to turn and the DVD player stopped working in just a few years after we bought the vehicle. In addition, the radio does not work very often and the CD player stopped working on a regular basis in 2016, CD's get stuck often. I would not buy an Uplander in the future.
Tamara B

Ideas for updating vehicles with the newer technologies.
My Car is reliable and runs with ease, it is maybe a little outdated. I wish it had some of the new technology as the newer cars. On screen audio system with connectivity with Bluetooth availabilities.
Jennifer H

It handles great in the snow. I never had a problem with it in the winter.

Our Uplander has been steady and sure over many years and many miles. Just as awesome as the day we brought it home!
Although my crossover vehicle is over 10 years old and has over 150,000 miles on it, I still love it as much as the day we drove it home. Aside from new tires, and basic maintenance, we have never had a major mechanical issue. We have driven it from Missouri to Florida seven times two of those times we pulled a small trailer with it. I love the automatic doors, those have been the only issues we've ever had in that sometimes the van thinks the doors are not closed and makes the alarm sound when, in fact, the doors are closed and everything is fine. We find the solution is to just turn the automatic door open/close feature off, check the fuses, replace as needed and go on with our lives. Our Uplander has a DVD player, but it also has inputs that allow us to connect our portable hard drive--that way we don't have to rely on skippy DVDs on long car trips. And...ten cup holders is glorious. We love our Uplander!
William B
on January 21, 2020
06 Chevy uplander ls problems.
Don't complain about it too much. Just the way the suspension is set up along with the placement of the fuel pump it causes the gas to run away from the pump so it runs out of gas very easily. Like most chevys also the alternator dies very quickly and the placement on the motor is very difficult to access.
Faith R

Best van ever built that does not look like a minivan.
The Uplander is a great family van. It has good gas mileage in town and on the highway. The removable seats are easy to install and remove. Having sliding door on both side make it easy to get the kids out of the van on the safest side of the van. The auto locking doors are great to keeping the kids in the van when the van is in drive or reverse.

Chevrolet uplander is a really great family van.

Eco friendly saves a lot on gas
I love my uplander. It has plenty of space and f looking for a family car, love the screen that it has for kids to enjoy movies. I also like the you can cancel the music in the back you can live both world lol. The door are automatic. The back seats I can put down if I am in need of space. It's a eco friendly van. Save up a lot on gas since I got it haven't had problems with it .

I love our van it's always there for us when we need it long or short trips
It stayed for a lot had a lot of expensive problems but I always have to keep the vehicle used okay condition and it's been there through thick and thin for my family. The automatic doors no longer work but it has new brakes the whole front end has been redone because of rust new brakes new tires oil change when supposed to interior looks used but it's the family van and it's paid for and mostly an excellent vehicle
Eric R

The van is very spacious with folding down back seat for more cargo space.
Too big, bad gas mileage, very comfortable, spacious can fit 7 people. Ride is smooth, nice luggage space the back seat folds down for more storage. The reliability is very good I have over 130,000 miles on it and plan on driving it for a couple of more years.
Trice J

My old van troubles resume.
The vehicle is just old and outdated so everything needs to be fixed. The power locks do not work. There's kick back when I change gears. The 3 row seats are torn and worn out. The engine is going out. The DVD player does not work anymore. The radio had a shortage.

The ups and downs of the uplander.
The car rides nice and smooth, but I wish it had the update software as newer models, it has a DVD player on this model but I haven't been able to get it to work there wasn't a manual for the car. It is spacious but I need a little more space. There is only 1 automatic sliding door & it needs to have it on both sides.

Overall, it's been a good vehicle, dependable (but it's older and I want a new one).
It's an older vehicle but still runs well. Haven't had many big problems with it, although there is some rear end weirdness. Had to change rear tires more frequently than I would like.
Carrie C

Very reliable for a family vehicle with plenty of room for the kids and pets to be comfortable as well as removable seats to haul just about anything you could think of. A great all around vehicle.
It is very accommodating for a large family with plenty of room for up to 7 people and still some storage space beyond that. It has the horsepower of a truck, it is our go to vehicle for moving family member on more than one occasion. It has been the most reliable vehicle that our family has owned in years, have replace two other vehicles due to breakdowns during the time period that we have owned this van.
Whitney W

I like that my seats fold down if I need the extra room.

How much room you have inside the van.
Like the way it sits above traffic. Like the way it sits on long rides. It has plenty of room for all the grandchildren when we take them on vacation. It is easy to see around other cars parked next to you.
Audrey A

First car for me with over 125, 000 miles, and still runs so well.
I bought this car used, with not many miles. First car I have had that now has over 125, 000 miles on it. Even if I live alone, my grandchildren and children come to visit, and I need a van. Plus, I travel quite often between houses, and love the capacity of it, as I like to take certain things with me. Plus, picking up and bringing children and grands to and from the airport, with luggage, is easy.

Very reliable van with very few problems. The problems that I have encountered were normal maintenance issues. Great vehicle to have.
The Van drives very well. When there is a problem, it alerts you in a specific manner so that you know which direction to go in to fix the problem. The alert sound is very very loud.

It is one of a kind and you have to have a taste for that kind of vehicle.
It does not run terribly but the transmission is starting to go and my heat doesn't work. Neither does my radio. It is reliable to get you to where you need to go but it is a beater for sure.
Tracy B
on November 22, 2018
For a minivan it actually gets very good gas mileage.
It handles well while driving you feel secure like it is ripping the road. I like that everything is automatic and easy to control and I like it has a DVD player in it. I do not like the fact that it does not have a lot of get up and go. Having six children that are tall people it does not feel like the manufacturers of minivans take into consideration real people sitting in the chairs, it could have more leg room and it could have more headroom.

Chevy uplander: a little something for the whole family.
