My 2000 Chevy Venture Adventure
The van is very dependable. I wish I could have bought it when it was never, there are only minor problems with my vehicle but I believe that those are from the previous owner and not because of faulty manufacturing..I enjoy driving it, as it is an all around reliable mode of transportation

Only has 50000 miles on it, drives like a champ and gets 29 mpg.

Our Chevy Venture has been extremely reliable. We appreciate the low maintenance.
Our Chevy Venture is roomy. It rarely requires repair. In addition, we like the gas mileage it gets. Overall, this is a great family vehicle.

The one important thing about the vehicle is that it still runs and gets me from point A to point B
It is easy on Gas. It has plenty of room to sit down and to enjoy the ride. But there are no dislikes about the vehicle

This is a great all-purpose vehicle.
The Venture is a great all purpose vehicle. The seats come out easily for hauling stuff. It is comfortable to ride in and drive. The main complaint is that the engine is weirdly designed. It is difficult to even find the battery to jump another vehicle.

It has great color and looks great for how old the van is.
It is a great van it runs great the breaks might be going out in it but other then that the van gets me places I need to go I love the van it fits me and my kids in it and if anyone else wants to go with a lot of room. I can take the seats out if I needed and hall something big it's a great reliable van never gonna get rid of it great van to have around.

It is red and runs from point A to point B. That is usually all anyone needs.
It is just old and the ac does not work. The radio does not change volume and I am sure it is got a leak in the oil pan. I am tired of driving a smaller vehicle too. I’d rather drive an SUV type car. It is also red which I hate the color red. I am ready for a change.

It's a beater but It's paid for
I like the space and the cargo i can carry after removing the seats. The engine lasts forever. It's blue. The stereo is ok.

It's a nice vehicle very roomy fits my family and I can fit my groceries in the back.
It's very roomy and fits my family. My husband likes the leather seats I don't care for it.

Chevy ventures are not a family friendly minivan.
This vehicle is very basic. The seats are very close together, making it hard for children to get in the backseat. The only cup holders are in the doors, so if you open or shut a door your drink sloshes everywhere. The headlights dim out very fast, and the air filters need changed frequently. Also the wheel bearing have to be changed frequently.

Great van with lots of seating
It's a Chevy. All the TV screens has stopped working. Very hard to work on and it has a very big gas tank $70+ to fill it up and it uses a lot of gas. Other than that it's a good van. When it was newer it performed very well. Power windows and 2 sliding doors is convenient when the whole family goes along on trips.

Superior reliability in a cheap van
This vehicle has lasted for many years. It's been well maintained with maintenance and has not failed me yet! There is not a whole lot of bells and whistles but the reliability of the vehicle itself definitely makes up for what it is lacking in technology. I truly love my car.
accountCircle Mic C
I like amount of space. I dislike the age and color.
Repair costs are very high because of the way it's organized/built under the hood.
accountCircle Stacy M
It's falling apart. The gas gage does not work. Head gasket keeps breaking.
I need a new van. The back axle broke windows don't roll down. Have to jump it every time I start it.
