From the Back Seat

Mark Bilek

This fully loaded Terraza lists for just $32,000 which is considerably less than many competitors. The missing side-curtain airbags and hide-away rear seat are puzzling, however this van is pleasant and attractively priced otherwise.

Tom Appel

Ouch. GM should never have built this van. There is nothing upscale about this van, and the changes made to the standard (Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6, Saturn Relay) chassis only make things worse. At least the non-Buick vans handle decently and can likely be sold on price...but more than $33, 000 for the worst handling, weakest accelerating minivan available in North America? Pass.
