  quiet engine smoothes ride - 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
  By Paula Elliott - December 1 - 7:58 pm

  I think for a van this is most comfortably ride, Engine is so quite, 2 air conditioner cool in hot summer, 2 heaters to keep everyone warm in cold winter. 4 captains seats easy to get to the third row. never drove a mini van.. but I liked it. New tires and new battery 2015. Nice vehicle.

  Bought 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 pm

  We 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.

  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

  DO NOT Buy a Chevy Uplander - 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
  By momof2 - November 26 - 2:00 am

  Had it 2 years and now the battery goes dead for no apparent reason. Sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesnt. The dealer will make you pay just to look at it.

  Dont buy the Uplander - 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
  By Lee - November 18 - 2:00 am

  I bought this vehicle for my wife as she needed a large more reliable vehicle for the family. We have had nothing but problems with this 2008 Uplander. The worst thing is its not reliable. Charging System Failure continue to be a problem. Some days the vehicle will be just fine, and then other days the vehicle wont start. A dealership has replaced the alternator twice, and again we are still having the same issue. Charging System Failure and the vehicle wont start. When you have a family with young kids nothing is more important then reliability. What is so frustrating is if you google problems with 2008 Uplanders you will get several customers with my exact same story. :(

  Bad experience - 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
  By Dorothy - March 23 - 4:35 pm

  I bought this car 8 months ago and have had nothing but problems with it mainly the front end. I dont like the fact that the center seats doesnt recline and no armrest on them. Also they set to close to the side doors. I have owned a van before and their was storage room under the back seat. Overall a poor design. It does get fairly good gas mileage and I like the room, but not so sure I would purchase another Chevrolet and for sure not a uplander.

  Automotive Atrocity - 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
  By Steve - March 5 - 11:06 pm

  This vehicle is an embarrassment to GM. Its hard to believe it comes from the same company that brought us the Corvette. Interior design and utility is horrific. I have 2 kids, both in car seats. My kids have no leg room at all. I literally cannot use the 3rd row, as there is no way to get to it. Try hanging a jacket on the hook! You cant reach the hook from the sliding door, and you have to CRAWL INTO THE BACK to reach it from the rear! Ours has a roof console that Ive hit my head on many times. This car is a real head-scratcher, and I wonder how it was ever cleared by GM for public consumption. It clearly was not evaluated for everyday usability by families before its release.

  Inexpensive van for mom of four - 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
  By mom of 4 - October 20 - 9:00 pm

  Overall a good van. No frills at all. Just good reliable transportation. Ours was purchased used with 12,000 miles on it. Price was super great so we could afford it.

  Its gone after 8 months - 2008 Chevrolet Uplander
  By Doug - August 4 - 6:10 am

  This van has been nothing but problems since the day we bought it. We have kept it 8 short months and are trading it in today. The sensors continue to fail, the air leak in the front window, poor braking system, lack of interior style and comfort. I am a Chevy/GM guy but its time to switch to a Town and Country. GM was smart by dropping this van. Trading it in while its still under warranty so whoever gets it can get all the problems fixed under the bumper to bumper warranty.
