  Great so far!!! - 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
  By greggrawe - August 18 - 3:17 pm

  We bought this van with 4,000 miles on it and 3 months old, it was a "Dealer Demo" and it had a sticker price of almost $30,000 and we paid $18,300 so we got a great deal on it! We now have 53,000 miles on it and had it for 3 years now, it drives like a champ! Never had a problem!! We did buy the extended warranty on it so we dont have to worry about repairs! In town we average about 19 - 21 mpg, and Highway we average anywhere from 27-30 and I think is great for this size. Better then our Lincoln Aviator that gets 9 mpg

  NIce van with plenty of power - 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
  By duraflex - March 10 - 9:39 am

  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 its 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 theyre not bad. On the highway, its quieter than the Venture and ours gets about 26 MPG. Around town, MPG is about the same. Handling is excellent and steering isnt overly sensitive and unforgiving like some SUVs Ive driven. Van is great looking and a pleasure to drive.

  Great buy - 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
  By Lee - January 19 - 10:35 am

  Great value. For the money you could not get anything even close to the roominess and comfort of this vehicle. Gas mileage is terrible in the city but on highway pretty good. That is given by the size of the vehicle. The engine is perhaps too big for the vehicle, I would sacrifice the power for better gas mileage. I bought the basic version nothing extra and it is still luxury compare to what the standard was few years ago. Power windows and locks, remote, heated mirrors, OnStar, CD and satellite radio.

  Pleasant Surprise - 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
  By overrev - August 28 - 7:25 pm

  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

  2008 Chevorlet Uplander LT - 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
  By Chris W. - June 22 - 1:41 pm

  1st drove this model as a rental car. We liked it so much we bought a new one when we got back from vacation. We had a newer Sedona Minivan and the difference is amazing. While the Kia had good power, the Uplander has that and much more. The powertrain is good for the size of vechile. The seats are really comfortable. The interior is laid out well and there are no blind spots. The doors and all seams line up well and the quality of the paint is good.
