Used 2005 Chevrolet Venture Consumer Reviews
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.
Old Brownie is still kicking!
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.

Bland/Average Van
Average van, bland styling, brakes are weak,no storage pockets on the back of the front cap't seats,only one power sliding door,noisy cabin,no cassette player, not enough cup holders for middle row,DVD hard to reach/see when cup holders are being used,rear wiper streaks/doesn't work in cold weather. I thought I would get better gas milliage with such a small V6 engine. All in all this van is O.K, not bad, not impressive, just average.If you don't want to spend a lot of money on an import, this van would be a good deal.
Happy to be in the 2000'S Vehicles
I recently owned a 96 Ford Explorer 4 WD and wanted to upgrade my vehicle. I wanted a van and checked out our local car dealer for the first time. He gave me a good deal on my Ford and introduced me to a Venture Van! I loved it the minute I seen it, took it for a drive. I am a person who prays for guidance, pray for safe trip in the 4 directions while I drive and pray for my vehicle, that it runs good and takes me where I need to go! Today, I just purchased a used one! I still cannot believe I am driving a vehicle in the 2000's catagory! I am a person who buys what I can afford. I don't want car payments, as long as it runs good for me. I am blessed and thankful.
Great Van
Great Van for family or travel long distance. Almost two years old and have not had a single repair or had to take back to dealer.
