LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! - 2004 Chevrolet Venture
By LoveMyVenture - August 19 - 1:29 pmThis car is FANTASTIC! Bought in 06 with 45000 miles on it. Its 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 youll be rewarded.

It Drives and Drives - 2004 Chevrolet Venture
By Drives and Drives - November 17 - 2:26 pmBought this is with 24K miles on it, 3.5 yrs later its at 115K+ and we have had very few complaints. Very reliable, comfortable, great mileage. Got from Raleigh NC to Allenton PA on one tank of gas, with a little to spare. Numerous long trips to the Midwest with no complaints and lots of comfort. Plenty of city driving, too. Basic extended model, no whistles and bells but it does the job. AC stopped working on level 5 this summer, and 4yrs old messed up the CD player with pennies, but other than a set of brakes and some new belts, tires, general maintenance, have been surprisingly happy with an American made vehicle. Would recommend it!

Personal Experience - 2004 Chevrolet Venture
By dmt1541 - October 26 - 11:21 amWe searched far and wide for the perfect family van and after owning this Venture for 2 years we are confident we found it. We love the ways the seats fold and move individually, they give you so many options. The gas mileage is great. We got 25mpg driving to FL with a family and luggage to boot. The integrated child seat is awesome, I just wish we had two instead of one. Im a Ford guy myself, but this Chevy Venture is awesome. My wife and I wanted 8 passenger seating and we could only find it in the Chevy Venture (in 2005). Yah we have 3 kids but what if the grandparents or friends want to ride, 8 passenger is a must. Weve had no operational problems and were closing on 40,000.

Underrated van - 2004 Chevrolet Venture
By uzbekbashi - April 24 - 8:37 pmThis vehicle has performed more than adequately. Rides smoothly, swallows more cargo than previous SUV we owned and only cost $20,500 after rebates and discounts--saved $6000 over Honda Odyssey. True, resale is less now than other minivans but this matters only if you plan on selling it quickly. At 58,000 miles, only the rotors needed to be replaced and othewise no problems noted. Interior could be more high-class but we didnt buy this car for style but for basic transportation and it has fulfilled this function well. Even gas mileage is good--25-26 miles in suburban driving. Overall, very satisfied.

AdVenture 2004 - 2004 Chevrolet Venture
By Osvaldo Torres - March 4 - 3:29 pmThis van is strong , quick and extremely roomy given its short wheelbase. I have used it to tow a 21 ft. open fisherman to a ramp 20 miles away and it will perform quite well for its small engine size although it has not been designed for that kind of abuse.

Second Venture Van - 2004 Chevrolet Venture
By Rich Larsen - January 5 - 2:14 pmThis 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 Brenda - December 22 - 8:16 amThis 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 Sabino - October 20 - 2:00 amVan 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
By skypi - October 9 - 2:00 amWe 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.
