So far so good! - 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
By 59_cadie - January 1 - 10:22 amBought used with 133000+ miles. 23+miles to a gallon @ 70 mph. Heater could be better but still keeps us warm in -0 temps. We got it for $6500.00 tax, title, ins, & travel expenses to pick it up. We are very happy with it.

Love my Uplander - 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
By tmccleskey - March 13 - 9:58 pmWe have owned our Uplander for 3 years. It was a rental with 26000 miles on it. That told us that it wasnt in the shop more than it had been driven. The seats are fairly close to the seats in front of them, but the grandkids love Grandmas car. It has been really reliable, we havent had any trouble with it. It now has 50000+ miles on it. Dont like the tire sensors.

New Owner Experience - 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
By timrlarson - May 8 - 12:35 pmAfter reading all the horror stories about this vehicle and its brothers I bought one anyway because I love the body style and the ease of entry for passengers, and I was able to talk the dealer into $500 for an additional 4 year 48,000mi bumper to bumper warranty. I will be back to report on my ownership experiences as they occur, but I want to start by saying I have just driven about 600 miles from Portland to Sacramento and averaged 24.7mpg @65mph average with about 200# passenger. The driving was a breeze and the support of the drivers seat was excellent. No tired back or legs, arrived fresh and happy. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Suits our needs, good price & value - 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
By NellieMc - November 22 - 1:52 amSometimes we take long day trips and I wanted something that we could sleep in and I found the Uplander. Weve taken the seats out, put in a full size air mattress,velcroed shades to the windows and have slept comfortably and inexpensively at RV parks. We had an 30 RV, needed lots of gas, space and I didnt like driving around with a toilet and every rattling. We are average size people, 54" & 59", enjoy traveling, dining out and have created our own little over-night pod. We can even take our dogs with us. When we return home, we put the mattress and supplies in a container in the back, keep the 3rd row seats in. If we need more passenger room we can always put the second row back in.

Pleasantly surprised - 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
By Skihawk - April 8 - 8:42 amI just bought this vehicle. It was a lease car and I was hesitant to buy it but my wife has been wanting a new car and I got a good deal on it. We immediately took a 600 mile trip in it and I was pleasantly surprised. The fuel economy was pretty good at 27.6 mpg on the road. The ride was nice and visibility was good. Havent had any issues yet.

Quality by GM? - 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
By anthony - April 7 - 6:12 pm2 day old van and defrost blower stopped working. Coldest night of the year too. The dealer took care of the issue giving me a rental. The passenger door and fender dont fit at all at the windshield, big gap on one side no gap on the other. The dealer isnt sure if it can be fixed. A terrible visual disaster. It is however not limited to my van only as I have seen many Uplanders the same. Also a rough idle sometimes with a gentle surge when I have a foot on the brake.
