• Flimsy modular seats, poor interior fit and finish, coarse engine character, mixed crash test results.

  Practical, lots of nice features - 2003 Chevrolet Venture
  By CPHV - June 8 - 2:00 am

  We traded down - or up? - from a 94 Suburban. The Venture has AWD, not 4WD, and gets 12 mpg better. The DVD, wireless headphones are great for our 5-year-old on long trips. Theres lots of room for people and their stuff. We had to have a AWD sensor replaced but a year and a half later, we are as pleased with the Venture as when we bought it.

  I love my van! - 2003 Chevrolet Venture
  By Caroline9971 - May 28 - 2:00 am

  This van has more than enough room for all. The seating is changable enough to handle my crazy shopping (food sometimes and lumber other times). Great to drive and looks good too. A class act for someone who doesnt want to be a mini-van mommy but has to be.

  2003 "Silver Star" - 2003 Chevrolet Venture
  By Janet L. Kraus - April 18 - 2:00 am

  My van is "trailer towing" equipped and Ive found its performance to be exceptional. Highway mileage without my boat is 23+ mpg with my boat its 21+ mpg. Its tops for comfort, reliability and just plain fun to drive.

  Better than our Grand Voyager - 2003 Chevrolet Venture
  By Steve Buckwalter - February 18 - 2:00 am

  Ride and handling blow our previous van away. The power sliding door is a nice feature, and I also really like the way the radio stays on even after you turn off the ignition and remove the key (it stays on for up to 10 min or until you open the door). The seating for 8 configuration also allows us more options for carrying passengers and cargo at the same time with our 3 kids in car seats.

  Better than expected - 2003 Chevrolet Venture
  By homerkc - February 17 - 2:00 am

  I bought this van for my wife, expecting a good vehicle. Its a great van - a nice surprise. It is comfortable, roomy, not too wide on the outside (easy to park!), and economical - for a van. My wife loves it, and I enjoy driving it, too. My only concern is the longer term problem with intake manifold leaks. Is it fixed on the 2004? Time will tell. Still, were happy with it. It s a great value.

  DONT WANT ANOTHER ONE - 2003 Chevrolet Venture
  By BUD - January 10 - 2:00 am

  POOR HANDLING QUALITIES ON THE ROAD. THIS IS MY SECOND VENTURE, HAD SAME PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINTS ON THE 2001. ALOT OF ACCESORIES THAT WERE STANDARD ON THE 2001 ARE MISSING ON THE 2003. AMAGINE A 30000.OO AUTO AND NO GLOVE COMPARTMENT LITE. MILEAGE ON THE VAN IS WAY BELOW EXPECTATIONS.

  not too bad - 2003 Chevrolet Venture
  By rob jones - January 5 - 2:00 am

  I have only had my van for 3 months now and so far I like it. My kids complain that there are no arm rest on the middle row seats, but other than that, it seems to be a nice van. I did have a key go bad on me on the second day I had it. I was lucky enough to have a spare. The car wont start if it doesnt like the key. I had a Pontiac Transport before this one which had steering wheel controls for the radio. I miss that in this one. I hope to get at least 100,000 miles out of this before I have any major problems....I hope.

  mixed feelings - 2003 Chevrolet Venture
  By volson71 - January 3 - 2:00 am

  Bought the van 2 1/2 weeks before making a 2000 mile trip 3 days after purchasing, had a problem with the fuel injector, which ended up needing to be replaced. On our trip, the driver side sun visor fell out and needed to be replaced when we returned. Fairly comfortable in the back seats (we have the captains chairs in the middle row), especially with the leather interior. Not crazy about the way it handles, feels like youre tipping when going around corners. Ride is not very smooth, especially going up hills. Brakes seem rough, especially in icy conditions. Handles well on snow, however.

  1st time minivanner and joyed about it - 2003 Chevrolet Venture
  By amos jamos - December 30 - 2:00 am

  Just bought our venture because a 3rd youngster is on the way. Extremely pleased with the venture that bested out the caravan and the odyssey. The cornering stability is suprising and the engine, while conservative, is enough to power the luxurious cabin. This may be my first car I can sleep in while traveling. Only complaint is the gas mileage, UGH! Kudos Chevy (from a Ford man)!
