  Perfect for families - 2005 Chevrolet Uplander
  By Dk Blue Matallic - July 19 - 11:33 am

  I bought the Uplander because of all the interior room and because of how much it really doesnt look like a minivan typically looks. I love the sporty size and was really surprised at how comfortable the Uplander really is. I rate this van an overall 10 because its perfect for my family of 5.

  I dont see whats so special here - 2005 Chevrolet Uplander
  By MAG - July 19 - 1:17 am

  I have owned this vehicle for 14 days and I absolutely hate it. The horsepower is embarrassing, so forget merging into traffic. Exceptional loss of power while driving uphill and sloppy steering on the highway. I cannot accurately rate the vehicle reliability because I have not owned it long enough to be fair. On the up side, the interior is comfy and is loaded to the hilt with neat options. If this vehicle wasnt so slow and sloppy, Id give it an A. Definitely not worth the $35,000 price tag.

  Best family vehicle - 2005 Chevrolet Uplander
  By Cel - July 16 - 11:04 am

  I had previously owned a Venture which is VERY plain and boring . When Uplander came out I researched a lot about it until I test drive it and fell in love with it! Love the feel and how it drives very smooth. My whole family loves it, especially the comfy captain seats that are HEAVEN SENT! I love the styling of the interior and exterior as well, feels very much SUV style and room size like a van. How perfect! Met our needs. My husband would joke and said it feel like we are driving a Lexus. Uplander is like a Lexus to us!

  Disappointing (Borderline LEMON) - 2005 Chevrolet Uplander
  By dandrews - July 11 - 5:08 am

  Just under 4000 miles. Transmission, radiator and converter replaced (three times in the shop, one more and its an official lemon). The transmission started acting up with less than 500 miles on the vehicle. Almost caused 2 accidents. New one works wonderfully so far. PCV valve is whistling on acceleration, needs replacement (per GM service bulletin). DVD player makes clicking sound in speakers when accelerating. Intermittent problems with radio and power sliding door. Rear seats are heavy and awkward to remove. No power liftgate option. Middle windows on side doors do not open. Only ONE built-in child seat on ONE trim level. Without headphones, everyone listens to DVD.

  New Uplander- Great New Vehicle! - 2005 Chevrolet Uplander
  By Mike C. - July 6 - 4:37 am

  We purchased this vehicle after having two Astro vans and two Chevy station wagons. This van has all the features anyone could want! We recently took it across country, and got 23 miles per gallon while averaging 85 miles per hour! The van handles like a luxury car! By the way, we compared it to our Aunts Honda Odyssey and it had more features, better gas mileage and better overall performance for a better price! We highly recommend this vehicle, and suggest people consider it now, as General Motors is having its greatest sale ever!

  Great mini van - 2005 Chevrolet Uplander
  By holly - July 5 - 12:56 pm

  I had back surgery and purchaced this vehicle because I do not have to bend to get in or out, strap my 4 yr old in, or to get out the groceries. I really like the style and all the features that come with it. I would recommed this van to any one with children or health issues.

  Disappointed with Chevy - 2005 Chevrolet Uplander
  By myuplander - July 1 - 6:23 pm

  The door locks on the Uplander are programmed to open when you shift into park. Chevy claims this is a safety feature and cannot be changed. Any mother with children will know that this is in no way a safety feature. It is ridiculous to suggest that doors unlocking are for my personal safety or for that of my children. Women with children are the primary users of minivans, and we need time to gather our children and belongings when we stop. We hope to do it in a safely locked car. Women with young children will worry that both doors will open at the same time letting their children free, to go in both directions.

  The Lemon of all Lemons! - 2005 Chevrolet Uplander
  By Cross - June 27 - 12:35 am

  Since the day thiw minivan was purchased it has been trouble. Zero confidence when driving long distances. There is a pinging sound (safety one presumes) that comes on when the read slide door opens and never stops when it is closed. Dealership has been worthless in resolving the issue. I will never buy a Chevy again.

  Chevy Uplander LT - 2005 Chevrolet Uplander
  By Wes Cleaves - June 23 - 12:00 pm

  Ours has 2,200 miles. It has a much quieter engine than our previous 98 Olds Silhouette, with great acceleration and gas mileage. Little road noise. Superior handling. The ride is a little on the firm side, but very controlled. Very attractive exterior styling--many believe its an SUV. The interior is good too. Driver controls are well designed and positioned. However, black on white radio display is harder to read than green on black. Also, the smaller speedometer numbers are harder to read. It seems that the drivers "leg well" is narrower than the former model. Also, leg room for second row captains chairs seems less. Conclusion: an excellent vehicle and value -- vast improvement over former model. Highly recommend.

  The auto sliding side doors are nice, but what if my teenager gets mad and wants to slam the door? She cant! I dont like the safety feature that will not let the sliding doors open until the vehicle is in park, but I can understand why they did it. Makes for a longer drop-off time in the school car-pool loop though.
