2004 Chevy Venture Review
Price Estimate: $2,330 - $3,701

Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Carlike ride and handling, power-sliding doors, eight-passenger seating option, available DVD entertainment system.
Cons
- Flimsy modular seats, poor interior fit and finish, coarse engine character, mixed crash test results.
What’s new
The standard-wheelbase Value van and the Warner Brothers edition are no longer available. An upgraded stereo with MP3 capability is now an option on LS and LT models along with XM Satellite Radio. LT models now offer the sport appearance package as an option and come standard with the DVD entertainment system when equipped with all-wheel drive. The leather seating option now includes a power passenger seat and heated front seats. Captain's chairs are now offered on the LS.
Edmunds says
Not terribly refined, but loaded with value, the Chevy Venture is a solid minivan if you don't need all the latest features and gadgets.

2004 Chevrolet Venture Plus Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
This car is FANTASTIC! Bought in '06 with 45000 miles on it. It's now 2015, and we have 152,000. She runs smooth, and cruises effortlessly. Nothing major has gone wrong with the car. Just a few sensors. The 15 inch alloy rims look great too. We easily pull 22-25 mpg. Treat her right, and you'll be rewarded.
Love my 04 Venture Van

2004 Chevrolet Venture LS Fwd 4dr Ext Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
I have over 180,000 on my van with little troubles.
I like the way it drives.
I can haul things in it, pull trailers with it and I can haul all my grandchildren in it.
Have had very little troubles with it.
When it was new a rear wheel bearing went out but was covered under warrenty.
I had to repair some window controls but that was easy.
Good "mom" car

2004 Chevrolet Venture LS Fwd 4dr Ext Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
Im 16 and i got my mothers 2004 venture about 5 months ago, when she had it she liked it very much. Overall its been a good car for me but it has bad car computer problems. We had to replace the whole computer system about 3 years ago. ($750) which wasnt worth it because about a year ago the gas gauge just stopped working which would be $500 to fix which is not worth it to us because we … dont want the car anymore. But then again it has been a good car not including the computer problems.

2004 Chevrolet Venture LS Fwd 4dr Ext Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
I purchased this vehicle after owning a 2000 model and doing considerable research. This vehicle offers good mileage and good value for the money. I looked at newer SUVs and Vans, then discovered this model offers as good or better mileage, and just as much interior space for a lot less than new. Mileage first 5000 miles has averaged 23-27 MPG if driven reasonably.
