For the 2006, the Chevy Uplander crossover sport van got a couple new side impact airbags and an available 3.9 L, 240 hp V6 engine. The second edition of this vehicle comes in 7 trims and sports a standard 3.5 L, 201 hp V6 engine with 4 speed automatic transmission. All 7 trims have 4 doors and seat 7.

Gas mileage comes out to 18 mpg in the city and 25 on the highway. Need room for some junk in your trunk? The Uplander has either 17.7 or 26.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, depending on which trim you choose. While the Uplander may look like it can tow, max capacity only amounts to about 3500 lbs.

Overall, drivers like the smooth handling and cool interior features. On the other hand, a van should have at least a little more power and the side airbags don't cover all three rows. Pick up an '06 Uplander if you don't mind sacrificing a little substance for some style.
