Handles and rides well with good techs
Handles well and rides smoothly. Steering is precise.4 wheel disc brakes are excellent.Engine has good acceleration for passing and adequate for a minivan. Engine whirs when climbing grades. Ride is smooth and quiet except on very rough roads. Seats are comfortable. The three middle row captain are useful. Flexible seats are very adjustable. Integrated radio, CD and DVD system is well designed. The dual power doors work well. Good backup warning system .The auto leveling suspension works. Has air pump and hose for pumping things. Combined gas mileage is about 22.5. City between 13-19 and highway between 22-28.
Two Transmissions in 150K
Overall, I love the Venture. No problems with entertainment system, power doors, or comfort etc. Dissappointed to replace transmission at 104,000 miles. Extremely disappointed to have replaced again at 150,000. Proper maintainance schedules have been followed.

2002 WB AWD Venture
No problems yet. Did better than our then brand new 97 Grand Voyager. Chevy did a great job marketing this 8-seater as an excellent kiddie transporter, with the Warner Bros. bells and whistles. My kids love the van and the DVD. Overall though, a great buy.
Watch quality and parts availablity
Our experince started well but after about 15,000 miles, problems with quality became apparent and we are currently going for lemon law remedies for repeated wheel bearing failure (have been replaced x3). Have had warranty work for the electric door lock system, dvd, door handle, rear wiper, etc. Have also experienced long delays for parts. According to the dealer, many parts are unavailable because the w-b line has been discontinued. Be careful with the remote control. We lost it and were told you can't buy another... they aren't available from GM. The remote is the only way to get most movies to play...
CHEVY FORCES GM EMPLOYEE TO BUY SUZUKI
THIS IS THE POOREST GM VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. MULTIPLE BREAK DOWNS THAT REQUIRED TOWING. WHEEL BEARING, SPEED SENCORS, SLIDING DOOR PROBLEMS, ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS...ALL THIS AND I GET GM EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT. AND TO TOP IT OFF THE VEHICLE (TOP OF THE LINE VENTURE) DEPRESSIATED 52% IN 1.5 YEARS. TOTAL DISSATICFACTION FROM GM
