Hello,

this might not be easy to answer but still I was looking at two cars a chevy
astro and a gmc safari now i don't know which one to buy. Has either one of
them factory problems and how about part prices, service and average
lifetime.

I appreciate any thought
thanks
Christian

I own the safari, 1995 model I love the way the rear dutch doors are.
Very convenient for everyday grocery getting and such.

I don't however like the ride and handling of these models. Try to
rent one for a weekend and drive it a lot! You may hate it after 3-4 hours
of highway driving. Mine is a handful on a windy day I still believe the
alignment is off but it has been in for 4 alignments and to a frame shop
too. I see one now and then one on the highway that tracks straight as an
arrow while mine weaves back and forth across the lane. Also there is NO
passenger foot room up front remember this if your passenger is tall or
large.

Same vehicle, same parts, same strengths and weaknesses with both. They are
made on the same assembley line. Only thing different is the badge and some
trim.
