1990-99 Chevrolet Astro

Article Abstract:

General Motors Corp's 1990-1999 Chevrolet Astro van models are spacious and can be fitted to seat up to eight people and tow up to three tons. The Astro and the GMC Safari are truck-based vehicles and better suited to heavy-duty work than are front-drive minivans. However, they make for bouncy, rough riding in comparison to front-drive minivans. All-wheel drives provide rain/snow traction. However, these models are found wanting in terms of brisk acceleration, handling, and fuel economy.

1992-97 Cadillac Seville

Article Abstract:

General Motors Corp's 1992-1996 Cadillac Seville models feature a stiffened chassis which makes for a rock-solid feel more than prior Seville models. Road noise in these models has been reduced and an improved mounting has better isolated the V-8 engine from the passenger compartment. Acceleration is brisk, despite the extra bulk, with the initial 4.9-liter engine. Furthermore, these vehicles never lack for strength whether in the city or in the highway. Shifts are almost imperceptible.
