This van is strong , quick and extremely roomy given its short wheelbase. I have used it to tow a 21 ft. open fisherman to a ramp 20 miles away and it will perform quite well for its small engine size although it has not been designed for that kind of abuse.

While I have only owned this van 2 months, it has been in my family since new. It has had hardly any problems. I am very pleased with the leather interior. It has good take off power, but does struggle somewhat on long hills. Earlier models had gasket problems, but that problem was resolved for 2004. The headrest of the 2nd row captains chairs do create a blind spot when backing up, but I have learned to adjust to it. There are also a few rattles from the rear door when going over bumps.

A bit of a "Plain Jane" van, however, very dependable and no repairs to date. Currently have 65000 KM's

This vehicle has performed more than adequately. Rides smoothly, swallows more cargo than previous SUV we owned and only cost $20,500 after rebates and discounts--saved $6000 over Honda Odyssey. True, resale is less now than other minivans but this matters only if you plan on selling it quickly. At 58,000 miles, only the rotors needed to be replaced and othewise no problems noted. Interior could be more high-class but we didn't buy this car for style but for basic transportation and it has fulfilled this function well. Even gas mileage is good--25-26 miles in suburban driving. Overall, very satisfied.

We searched far and wide for the perfect family van and after owning this Venture for 2 years we are confident we found it. We love the ways the seats fold and move individually, they give you so many options. The gas mileage is great. We got 25mpg driving to FL with a family and luggage to boot. The integrated child seat is awesome, I just wish we had two instead of one. I'm a Ford guy myself, but this Chevy Venture is awesome. My wife and I wanted 8 passenger seating and we could only find it in the Chevy Venture (in 2005). Yah we have 3 kids but what if the grandparents or friends want to ride, 8 passenger is a must. We've had no operational problems and we're closing on 40,000.

I loved my Venture van. However, it was my 2nd Chevrolet to own, having previously owned a Cavalier. It is only 2 years old and the air conditioner quit and has to have a new compressor. I bought it as a program car so unfortunately the warranty is out. The air conditioner quit in my Cavalier after only 2 years also! I am angry about the a.c. system not lasting more than 2 years. I traded in my 2 year old van yesterday. I am sad because I truly loved my Venture van. I will never own another Chevrolet. I am sad because I truly enjoyed my Venture experience.

We purchased this 2003 that was a rental vehicle. Van is very smooth riding and has plenty of power. The only thing they should have thought of was more power outlets in the front. There is only one. My previous GMC Jimmy had 3 power outlets. Enjoy having the sliding passenger door, makes a big difference with our little baby getting her in and out. Rear air is a life saver!

I recieved this vehicle for free from a friend who no longer needed it. Had to replace the battery, and the wipers used to cross over each other.... So I drive with one wiper lol. It makes some concerning noises if you make any hard turns, but it's holding up. It's just under 170k miles. It's rusty, but fairly trusty. Recently, I had to replace the starter. Since then, it's been handling some insane low temps with no issues whatsoever. It's got some pretty hefty power surprisingly. That 3.4 liter 6v ain't nothing to laugh at. The frame is doing alright considering the previous owner not particularly taking proper care of it (not the person who gave it to us). Body and panels however, oof. Every time we close one of the back doors, we have less van. Chunks fall off. I drove over some train tracks a while back and the heat shield decided to divorce itself from the vehicle. The back doors also are pretty hard to open, but I could probably just fix that with PB Blaster. I DO get a handful of electrical issues. For instance, I have a check engine light on but No one can read it. The sockets just blatantly do not work. My brake light is on, along with a constant message of low brake fluid though it still stops like a beast. If I had any form of issues with this van, it's the fact that almost everything that you would regularly want to check or replace, like the battery or some fluid reservoirs, is in THE MOST INCONVENIENT PLACE EVER. The battery is under the starter relay. The brake reservoir is practically right behind the steering wheel un a place where you can't easily access. Either way, It's still been good to me and mine. I'm genuinely surprised.
