2001 GMC Safari Cargo User Reviews

Better Than Some Of The Competition, But Not Awsome Either — Having driven this car along with a Dodge Ram Van 1500, Ford Windstar, GMC Safari and Plymouth Voyager for work, I must say that this car compares favorably over the Ram Van and I appreciate it a little bit more than the Ford Windstar. It's short wheelbase is ideal in urban parking conditions, the engine seems rather reliable (but the rest of the car isn't unfortunately. Heather problems and electrical issues are numerous, to name a few). Engine is very pleasant thus and is very good for the size of the van. Power is very good and so is torque, so you never find yourself running out of power when you need to accelerate. The engine is probably the strongest point in this van. Braking is superb too, and so is the suspension, which is stiff enough to prevent unwanted roll when taking turns (which in turn sends your van's content flying around). A very decent van for work, but unfortunately, reliability (with the exception of the drivetrain) seems uncertain. Not to such an extent as on the dodge thus. Would recommand
