Chevrolet Astro for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Big-van capacity in a small-van package, available all-wheel drive, high-towing ability.

Cons

Engineered in the early '80s, iffy crash test scores, cramped front footwells.

What’s new

No significant changes for the Astro this year.

Edmunds says

Other than its ability to mimic an SUV in terms of towing ability and cargo space, there's not much about the Astro van that makes it a viable choice over its numerous competitors.

Does Well for what it was designed for

Al, 06/03/2008

2005 Chevrolet Astro Rwd 3dr Minivan (4.3L 6cyl 4A)

Okay, so I have only had this van for a few months, but I have had experience with other Astros, as well as other brands for comparision. For what the Astro was designed for it does it well. It's not overly stylish, but it is very funtional. Has adequate power delivery, although not refined. Handles like a van, not a BMW. Rides like a truck, not a Buick, but it will haul people and …

Only one with a full frame

2005 Chevrolet Astro Rwd 3dr Minivan (4.3L 6cyl 4A)

Long term experience very good. Holds up very well. Built like a tank. Has steel reinforcement behind plastic bumpers. Only item replaced: Alternator.

Best van for our needs

2005 Chevrolet Astro Rwd 3dr Minivan (4.3L 6cyl 4A)

This is the third Astro we have owned. Currently we tow a 26.5ft travel trailer through the midwest and have experienced no problems. One must drive responsibly and not expect to break any speed records.

2nd Astro Van

2004 Chevrolet Astro AWD 3dr Minivan (4.3L 6cyl 4A)

The first one I bought was a 1995, drove it 109,000 miles, the transfer case went, replaced it for $2300 then traded it for a 2004 model. It is now 2008 and I have 51,000 miles and need a new transfer case. Both vehicles had electrical problems with the 'check engine soon' light, numerous brake repairs and each needed idler arms and torsion bars. I love the van tho and today when my …
