    By -

    low upkeep costs. parts are cheep, alot of cargo room, good head and body room. Can fit two adults and car seat in same row and still have moving around room, no other mid-sized van has that. 8 passenger spaces with luggage for 8 people inside the van. Can fit 8 2x4 on floor and 10 on top of dash with all doors closed. 4x8 plywood fits inside with doors closed.

    Virtually no mechanical problems. Good ride for a full size van. Rear wheel drive is nice for towing large trailers. Children love the mid row captain seats.

  • Beware of Secret GMC Warranty - 1992 GMC Safari
    By -

    Generally nice - but: there was a secret GMC warranty on the paint which literally flake off after six years. GM denied responsibility claiming their secret warranty had expired and if the dealer didnt tell the customer (me) - too bad! The upshot - had to have the vehicle painted privately at my expense and now have EXTENSIVE RUST - something else that should never happen in this era of vehicle. Mechanically the vehicle has been fair, the rear A/C is a disaster - be sure to close off the coolant lines to the rear A/C - the rear A/C is not needed and you will otherwise have to add new freon EVERY Summer.

    Ive had problems with my Safari. The sliding psgr door and rear hatch either stick or wont open. Took it to the dealer to get resolved still have same problem. Recently had problems with transmission and oil cooling lines leaking only at 42000 miles. Not impressed with fuel economy or front leg room. I am 62 and wife is 57". It does pull are 3300 lb popup camper great which is our main reason for buying it.

  • 2001 General Mistake Concieved - 2001 GMC Safari
    By -

    This vehicle spent more time in the garage being fixed than on the road.Seventeen times in just over two years.Brakes warping,bad tires,water leaks around the seals,broken receiver on seatbelt (drivers),paint peeling on the plastic bumper in circular patterns,electric lock actuator burned out(passenger side),unbalanced tires from the factory one that was replaced due to excessive radial sidewall runout,doors misaligned from the factory,sidepanel on seat broke twice because of plastic rivet mounts,and this is some of the problems I experienced in a two year time frame. This dealer gave me a loaner car once in seventeen trips!!!Find your own way to work.

  • Bad choice - 2001 GMC Safari
    By -

    I had problems with the brakes from the start and the steel belts on the tires.The catalytic converter and muffler needed replacing after one year and at separate times.I had to take it back shortly after buying it after I noticed grease under the floormats.Had to be dealer or factory shabbyness.Poor quality control at both places.No wonder Haskins went out of business and GM is losing repeat customers.

  • 2nd one Ive owned - 2004 GMC Safari
    By -

    This is my 2nd Safari. My husband is driving the other one now. Its a 1996 and I liked it so much I bought another one. Its all wheel drive and available cargo space gives it more bang for the buck compared to other mini vans or suvs when price does matter.

  • I am impressed - 2000 GMC Safari
    By -

    by the power and the fuel economy. I get about 17 city and 22 to 24 highway. I wish it had better visibility in the rear view mirror but the large side view mirrors are a real plus for safe lane changing.

  • Loving My 3rd Safari! - 2000 GMC Safari
    By -

    Since 1992 we have owned 1 used and 2 new Safaris. We are sad that GMC is discontinuing this line as it is everything a mini-van should be. Reliable and very roomy without being a difficult drive.
