Reliable van, good for transporting cargo.
My 2005 GMC Savana 2500 performs well. It has more than one hundred and fifty thousand miles. No critical issues with the engine so far. However, the paint does chip away.

It is a very safe widely used model of vehicle. It has many popular features.
I love the amount of Room and the amount of features it has. It has also been fairly reliable for me.

USES a lot OF GAS AND BOUNCES a lot AFTER HITTING A BUMP EVEN WITH NEW SHOCKS
NEEDS A LOT OF REPAIRS BUT HAS ROOM FOR EVERYTHING

My car is blue my favorite color and it is an amazing starter car.
My window. Is broken does not roll down smoothly anymore that happens maybe a month after getting the car. But besides that I haven't had any other issues with my car it runs well and it is a great car to get back and forth from work! I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a starter car.

It's big enough for everything but small enough to be easy to drive
I like the size. It's easy to have repairs done if needed and it's fuel efficient
