  Love it - on my second one - 2002 GMC Safari
  By akgirl - June 3 - 1:12 pm

  During the Alaskan winters the side door is great. We all pile in shut the door keep warm and then buckle up. Three kids and friends always fit very comfortable. Lots of room for everyone and their stuff and I can still get groceries.

  Great Vehicle - 2002 GMC Safari
  By Bob - February 17 - 11:14 am

  I bought the GMC Safari new in 2002 because I needed a vehicle that would haul our stuff to our cabin in Northern Michigan which also had All Wheel Drive for the mud and snow we frequeny encounter. The truck based Safari was the perfect answer and it has proven to be just that. After 108,000 miles, the only repair it has needed was a an alternator during the first year covered by warranty. Too bad there isnt a comparable vehicle available today. Guess Ill keep it. Its still strong and I expect at least 250,000 miles out of it.

  Good, Comfy, Van - 2002 GMC Safari
  By Kyle Brautigan - April 17 - 2:00 am

  I have owned these vans since they came out in 1985. The are roomier, more powerful, and capable than most other minivans on market. These vans have always been reliable besides for a few minor problems. We had to replace brakes at 15,000 miles and GMC wouldnt cover it under warranty which made me angry and made me wonder what the warranty was for.I like the truck- like sensation and this is no woss minivan. The ride is harsh over rough surfaces and it doesnt handle as well as car-based minivans. The interior is cheap plastic and poorly made. Even in the uplevel SLT it is lacking luxury features.

  Average Car - 2002 GMC Safari
  By tbuchler - February 3 - 2:00 am

  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.

  good ride - 2002 GMC Safari
  By emald - December 14 - 2:00 am

  2002 gmc safari has been a fine vehicle for my family. We have had zero problems with it. Here in Alaska the AWD and Anti lock brakes have been just the thing. With studed tires on it just wont be stopped.

  A Do-it-All Vehicle - 2002 GMC Safari
  By NJGuy07719 - August 4 - 2:00 am

  I looked at almost every full-size SUV and they were all to expensive and had limited cargo room. Suddenly, I saw the GMC Safari. The Safari does it all and does it well. It has more cargo room than a Ford Expedition and a Chevy Surburban and it was $12,000+ cheaper than either of the two. The only options I did NOT get were AWD, leather, and the homelink. I use my Safari to transport DJ equipment, tow a 27 foot boat, and take Sunday drives with family & friends. I average 16 MPG city and 21-22 hwy, thanks to a K&N filter and a Dynomax muffler. My only complaint is front legroom. Since I am 57", its not too bad.

  When A Minivan Just Wont Do ... - 2002 GMC Safari
  By Roadapple - June 10 - 2:00 am

  This is AWD Safari #2 for us (the 97 got a bit tired at 137k), and its a great family vehicle for long trips, especially in bad weather. No other AWD van has this much room, and especially cargo room, even when traveling with a full load of 8 people. We put 35k+ miles a year on this vehicle, and its tough enough to take it -- wouldnt buy anything else, especially for the money. Only flaw is front end offset crash test results -- could do much better.

  Safari: The Un-Minivan - 2002 GMC Safari
  By Tahoe086 - May 12 - 2:00 am

  The Safari is a Mid-Van so I wont have to say its a Mini-Van any way...the V-6 offers great power for a minivan and the towing compacity is great and needed...I am also pleased to note that it is Rear wheel drive which is AWESOME!!
