Performance

Handling
With its tighter turning radius, the typical minivan/van is quite certainly more maneuverable than the Savana 3500, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the other hand, bear in mind that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain

Comfort
