Used 2008 Chevrolet Uplander for Sale near Winnipeg, MB

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 gas mileage on the two long trips we have taken since we have owned this van. Would be nice if it was a little smoother ride, it is not as bad as some vehicles i have rode in though. It handles good and the wireless headphones with the DVD player are great for the kids. They can listen to their movie while parents talk or listen to the radio. The biggest down side is the brakes squeaking. We had them checked by the Chevrolet dealer, and we were told they are fine.

I think these chev uplanders are the necessity vehicle. Spacious for one and luxury and comfort for two. And also long distance there phenomenal and handle the highway like a dream. In my opinion they should have never stop production on these minivans. For personal or commercial use there it.

Excellent SUV !!! The motor 3.9 is awesome! Buy the top line one & get DVD player!!
