Second-row passengers were impressed with improved entertainment system. New stowable third-row seat. OnStar rescue system is standard for 2001. Decent fuel economy. Competitors like Honda Odyssey have more powerful engines.
Overhead controls are difficult to read in daytime.
Not sold on chrome trim. Noted some rattling noises from rear. Well, at least they're right about the first part. We put the Silhouette to the test over Thanksgiving weekend, ferrying family members back and forth from the airport and on a couple of shopping trips. Nobody beats GM's minivan entertainment systems.
