    Pros: Massive yet frugal V6, tons of horsepower, great in winter, stunning looks
    Cons: Cornering, no dual sliders, CD player and AWD are options

    Summary: This is the third best vehicle I have ever driven, second only to a Porsche and a Cadillac. My Safari is a 1998 and I have about 18,000 miles on it already. (I also had two Chevy Astros before this.) It is the best minivan overall (along with its Chevy ... read more

    Pros: Size, comfort, performance

  • Big mini van

    Dec 16 '99
    Pros: Size, seating, comfort
    Cons: looks, weight of seats

    Summary: The GMC Safari has lived up to my expectations in almost all aspects. One of the main reasons that I leased it to start with was the interior space, this has proven itself to be more than enough. Due to the fact I required 8 seats the choice of mini van ... read more
