Overall, the vehicle is mechanically sound. I have a little over 111,000 miles on it so far. 18-20 mpg? you may want to check how you drive. I can easily get 22 city and 26 highway. Just don't take off like a rocket and use cruise control. Through the mountains driving across the country we got about 24, fully loaded with household goods and such. Typical maintenance, oil, brakes, transmission fluid change. Never had anything major go wrong, thank you God. Good van. It has been spun out on a California interstate at 70 mph, 720 degrees worth of rotation, driven through the Rockies in summertime, through Arizona in the same. Strong vehicle. Maintain it, and it will take care of you.
NOT IMPRESSED

I had a Dodge Caravan that I drove for 4 1/2 years and loved it. I finally put it to rest with260,00 miles on it. Wish i bought another 1, but no, I bought a 2004 Chevy Venture. At first I thought it was a good purchase, but I found out I was wrong when I started having serious electrical problems, windows stopped working, abs light and engine light came on fuel guage fell to E and this annoying chime started sounding off continuously while driving, poer locks no longer work and then it left me stranded on the side of the road.All these problems are caused by a water leak somewhere and rotting all the wiring under the carpet. This is the worst vehicle I have ever owned. No longer a chevy fan

I have had my 2004 Chevy Venture since 2004. I've raised my children in it. We have a picture on our garage wall of the day we bought it. It has been my favorite vehicle ever. It has 210,000 miles on it, has gone all over the United States, and is still running like a top. The only problem is a little rust because it is not kept in the garage. It is very comfortable...would rather drive it than my husband's new Ford Expedition. It hauls furniture and people, and it's never had a major problem. I would buy another if this one ever quits...until then, I'm not getting rid of it. I am adding an update 11/2019. Our van was involved in a wreck and totaled. I was very upset. I'd still be driving it if this hadn't happened. This was the best vehicle we have ever had. It rarely had any mechanical issues. I just kept up on the oil changes. I wouldn't hesitate to get another Chevy Venture. However, we found a Town and Country at a great price that we love too, but would've bought another Venture.

This vehicle was a gift to me for my fortieth birthday. The features in my Venture are exactly what I was looking for. Lots of room and storage. comfortable seats. The only thing that I have to get used to is if the interior lights are on in the evening the reflection is right in the rearview mirror and very hard to see. Other than that I am very pleased with my Venture. The person who got this gift for me had looked at minivans for six months and out of the dozens that they test drove and examined this one was their pick. Liked the feature of the air filter. I had not heard of this in a van, but think this will help keep the freshness of the van. Also will help my son with asthma.
Best AWD model

Van drivability is extremely well durring the winter, thanks to the active AWD. The gas milage is also better than my former van, Mazda MPV. Ride is smooth and engine comes to life when entering highway speeds.
