Used 2005 Chevrolet Astro Consumer Reviews
Best vehicle ever, a vehicle that does it all
The Astro van is the only vehicle I own, and I have owned it for 28 years. I own a 1993 Astro passanger and it still drives and handles like its brand new. Its done everything and its gone every where. From towing a 5,000lbs travel trailer through the rocky mountains. To moving furniture, people, windows, engines. To being my daily driver for 28 years and growing. Its all I will ever need. Love the Astro van! EDIT: edmunds wants me update this review... Still driving the same van only this time we are towing a boat and going camping with it. So still getting a ton of use with these vans even with the van being 20 years old on all original parts, still no issues.

1991 and 2001
We purchased a used 1991 Astro in 1993 and have put 160,000 trouble free miles on it.We pulled a travel trailer with it,including many trips to Florida,and Kentucky.I have done all general maintenance work on it,and never have had to have it in a shop for repair.In December 2003 we bought a 2001 AWD Astro that we really find very useful with having five children.And we still have that 1991!

LEGROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE LEG ROOM IN THE FRONT SEATS IS VERY LIMITED.
GM take a hint.
The best vehicle in its class. The problem is that it's the only one in its class. Because of no competition, GM has treated the Astro like an ugly step child. The last revision was nearly ten years ago. I upgraded to a 2000 model from the '91 I had. The only noticeable difference beside appearance was the reliability of a newer vehicle. After just a few years my new van rattled just like my old one. I've had many service calls that were fortunately under warranty. Delco batteries only last two years in Florida.I love my van but I'm sorry that when I'm ready for a new one, GM will have done little to give me a reason to buy.
Best mid-sized van ever
This is the 4th Astro that I have owned in 9 years, and each one has been better the the last. I averaged about 90,000 to 100,000 miles on the last three and already have 1600 on the 2005 Astro. I love it.
