Pros: Front & rear AC. Strong V-6 engine with pick up and GO!

Rugged utility, but no beauty

by Jakeblack
Aug 30 '02 - Updated Oct 19 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Cargo hauling capacity, All wheel drive, durability and utility
Cons: Front passenger leg room is bad, continual issues with brakes
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for van with truck-like capabilities, this is a good choice.

OVERVIEW: We have had our Safari a few years now, on balance it was a good purchase. It is big, goes anywhere due to the AWD, and you can haul/tow almost anything with it. This is more like a truck than a "minivan". It rides on a truck frame and feels ...

No, they are not all the same!

Jan 21 '00 - Updated Sep 01 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Safety, comfort, space, handy features
Cons: vans guzzle gas

Note: Epinions has just moved this to the incorrect category. Ours is a 95 Safari, and not the 2000 model.


Before we got the Safari, we looked at dozens of models of vans. Many people think a van is a van and they all look alike....

Nov 21 '00 - Updated Apr 14 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Good power in the V-6 engine, Great AC system
Cons: Very Poor Handling, Poor Leg Room in front seats
The Bottom Line: Nice little mini-van.

I recently had to rent a 2000 GMC Safari mini-van
out on the road after my primary mode of transport
failed me.

All the rental place had left to rent out to me was
a choice between one green Safari, a red one or a
silver...

LEMON CAR

by jkerm
Oct 01 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: It seats 7 people
Cons: Just about everything you can think of. Lemon lemon lemon GMC needs better mechanics
The Bottom Line: Stay clear of this van...too many problems and no real help....even GMC trained mechanics aren't much help!

The word LEMON could be defined as a "GMC Safari Van". The words Money Pit could be defined as a "GMC Safari Van". Need I say more? We bought this pile of junk used. It was clean and it "appeared" to be a solid car. However, we have spent a small ...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Interior room and Towing capacity (5000 LBS)
Cons: GAS - Only gets between 15-17 MPG
The Bottom Line: The best minivan out there. You can not beat it!!

I have test driven about 6 different models of minivans and the Safari was the best of them all. There is plenty of room for the whole family with a lot left for the bags!! I have owned this van for 13 months without a single problem. The engine is very...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 
Pros: many seats, fair amount of room, ac and heat control in front and back.
Cons: replacement of same parts over a short period of time. low gas mileage.
We have had our Safari mini-van for 5 years now. All in all it is a good car. V6 with get up and go. There are various different things that we have had to replace. Such as the starter just went out we have replaced the back hatch air compressed levers 2 times and need to again replace them and normal maintenance. The seal on the front window has had to be replaced as well. It get approx 17-20 Miles to the gallon. Having removable seats makes it great for hauling stuff.
