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.

The leather seating option now includes a power passenger seat and heated front seats. Captain's chairs are now offered on the LS.

Pros:
  • Carlike ride and handling, power-sliding doors, eight-passenger seating option, available DVD entertainment system.

  • Second Venture Van - 2004 Chevrolet Venture
    By -

    This is my second Venture van. The first was totalled when it was rear ended at 50-60 MPH while I was stopped waiting for a traffic light. There was no choice for a replacement van except for the color-the dealer had about 90 Ventures in stock. I have toured the country with my first van. It had 77,000 miles on it when totalled and my present van has 38,000 trouble free miles. I dont understand the poor rating and comments you gave it. What are "coarse engine characteristics?"

  • My gift - 2004 Chevrolet Venture
    By -

    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 - 2004 Chevrolet Venture
    By -

    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.

  • LOVE IT - 2004 Chevrolet Venture

    We bought our car when it was a year old, but it is still great. I was looking at Chryslers and Dodges, but once I drove this, I was definitely sold over those models.

  • Great Van - 2004 Chevrolet Venture
    By -

    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.

  • Perfect vehicle for family vacations. - 2004 Chevrolet Venture
    By -

    This is our second Chevy Venture Warner Brothers Edition. It is the perfect vehicle for an active family. There is nothing like a van for road trips/vacations. The Entertainment center keeps the peace. The only complaint has been the problematic air conditioning - had it in for service and they told me that it works just fine - but it doesnt hardly work at all! Love the fold down 3rd row seat and the 8 passenger capcity.

    Overall, I am very satisfied with the venture. I like its interior design, room comfort and ease/placement of controls. Visibility is as good as any minivans with the headrests now seemingly required in all seat positions we have bucket configurations. Acceleration could be better when a/c is in use - seems a little hesitant. Nice tight road handling for a large vehicle. Car like ride. Entertainment center has been a great distraction for those long family drives, or when carpooling waits take longer than expected :-) Dealer responsiveness by RAMP CHEVY particularly impressive!

    We are very pleased with our Warner Brothers Venture. It is a fantastic value for the money.

  • No need to spend big bucks - 2004 Chevrolet Venture
    By -

    We have owned this Venture for almost 6 months now. We feel it is a bargain if you do not opt for all the add-ons that jack the price up so high. It comes equipped with a/c, power windows, locks, automatic, basically everything that is necessary. If you want a new minivan for around $20,000 you just cant go wrong. I cant see paying $10,000 extra for all the options thrown at you. It doesnt do a thing to the performance of the van as the engine, transmission are the same no matter what you pay. The engine is more than adequate and has no problem climbing the steep grades in western NC. The ride is fine and you cant beat the value.
