I live in Denver Colorado where the weather is anything but predictable. With my 2003 GMC Safari AWD, I am able to tackle the road in any condition. With the mountains so close by, roadtrips are a must. This minivan has more than ample room for me and my friends on roadtrips - not to mention all the room left over for our snowboards! This minivan is great on the highway, great in town, and definitely great up on the mountains. Handling is pretty easy. At first I was nervous about the size, but it handles very well. It's a very agile car and can tackle the curves just fine. It does take a bit to accelerate uphill, but once you get it going on cruise control, it's pretty easy. The AWD is a dream, especially in Colorado with all the different terrain. GMC makes dependable cars, and this is no different. I have not have any serious problems with the engine. Upkeep is fairly standard. We have upgraded a bit with a conversion kit. There is now more storage space and also a Nintendo 64! I plan on keeping this van for many more years to come and hopefully one day it will take me all over the US.

My GMC Safari van has been an excellent choice for me. It has just over 100,000 miles on it and is still running like a charm. I bought this van used knowing that the transmission had already been replaced. At the time of the purchase the used dealership paid to have a new air conditioner compressor replaced at their expense. The air conditioner and transmission are still working fine. It has been mechanically sound. Overall I'd highly recommend this van.

The inside of the van is very nice and it has a great sound system. What I really like about it is how smooth it drives. What I dislike about it is that it has a small electrical problem. But with a car with it's age complications are expected.
