We love that the seats are oversized and comfortable. It wasn't difficult to fit any car seat in the vehicle and the latch system was easy to use. Our number one thing that we love is that it is reliable. We have never had the vehicle in the shop for any repairs. We have done all scheduled maintenance and it has continued to be completely reliable. Another major perk were front and rear side impact air bags. Overall the vehicle is reliable, safe, and comfortable, you couldn't ask for more than that!

The Chevrolet Uplander/Pontiac Montana are GM's minivans. They're both exactly the same with no differences between the two badges. These vans are on the cheap side, the problem is you'll be in for a bit of a surprise. To drive the Uplander is givena 3.9L V6, this does make the Uplander very powerful given its price range. Its not a slow van in terms of a straight line. To turn its surprising that it does turn rather well but it rolls quite badly so its unadvised. The steering however is dull and lifeless. The interior is not luxurious at all. It is actually very cheaply designed and very conventional. None of the seats can be flattened into the floor, if you need trunk space you'll need to remove the storage pieces in the rear. The build quality however is another story, many Uplanders/Montanas are badly built. The cup holders often fail to slide out or in, the sliding doors do get stuck if built poorly, interior pieces are often loose. While this isn't the worst built GM product, it comes close. The Uplander/Montanas are not reliable either. Common areas of problems lie in the traction control, tire monitoring system. Transmissions also contribute to this van's reliability problems. You may get a Uplander that doesn't stay in the shop at all, but most likely it will be there often. Overall this is a cheap van with nothing special other than its massive array of problems.

I love the ability to carry passengers one day and the next to load up at BJS with tons of groceries without a problem. Even the other day I went to Home Depot and bought shelves and it fit without a hitch.

I like the van. Handles well. Drives well. Keeps the kids occupied with the DVD system. Is very smooth and great for long and short rides. I've had very few repairs, like brakes, and they were inexpensive. Even with all the miles, I think the van is great.

The Chevrolet Uplander is an interesting creature: Is it a minivan? An SUV? A crossover?
Designed to replace the Chevy Venture minivan, the Uplander's styling is much more in tune with a sport utility vehicle look, yet the passenger cabin has all the roominess of a van. Can the Chevy Uplander be the Holy Grail of the family-transportation market segment, the vehicle that's as comfortable as a minivan but as cool as an SUV?
Trim offerings and options packages give Uplander drivers a chance to customize their ride. One heavily-marketed choice is the LT Entertainer package, which includes a rear DVD system, XM satellite radio, and a high-end digital audio setup.
