  • As the tru that cant make a 100,000 mile - 2000 Chevrolet Astro
    By -

    Actually this is my second one, I think they are attractive and the kids loved em. My first was under powered but ran with scheduled maintenance which I had to abandoned due to the expense. Both vehicles ran good until about 70, 000 miles when windows stopped working, slight idle roughness, sliding door had parts fall off and started to rattle, front ac vents stopped working, back door starting clicking and vacum problems with locks and ac vents, ac fan motor, trying to fix all this at the dealer is vehicle suicide.

  • No frills, but a great van - 2000 Chevrolet Astro
    By -

    Bought this van with 30000 miles on it. Had a few minor issues that first year or so -- power lock failure, etc. No problems since then. With 4 kids, a dog, and a camper, we make full use of the incredible amount of space inside this van. Its one of the few vehicles that can comfortably seat our family, plus two others AND tow. Holds way more stuff than a regular minivan. Weve used it to tow our camper (22-ft, 4000 lbs) half way across the country with absolutely no issues - at 100k miles. People are always surprised to see us tow with it. Added a transmission cooler and complete tow pkg. Theres nothing fancy about this van, but its great for a larger, active family.

  • American Astro quality is unmatched - 2000 Chevrolet Astro
    By -

    I love my Astro, its been the most reliable car Ive ever had. American build quality is making waves once again and Im proud to own this vehicle. Handles great, the 4.3 vortec is bullet-proof and super responsive. You dont have to worry about little problems because the Astro parts while not luxurious are very time-tested.

  • Best Family Vehicle - 2000 Chevrolet Astro
    By -

    This is my second Astro - put 175000 on the first. Whether it is towing my 5500lb boat, hauling varius team members of my 4 kids sports, driving 3000 mile vacation, or buzzing around town, this van is the only thing around that can do it all. SUVs are too long outside for less room inside, mini vans are like recycled Pepsi cans when compared to the stoutness and versatility the Astro offers. Consumer magazines rank it poorly, but you have to wonder whether they live in the real world! One last thing - a set of KYB monomax shocks transforms the ride to modern standards.

  • 2000 Chev Astro Review - 2000 Chevrolet Astro
    By -

    We bought this van in 2002. It is very roomy except for the foot areas for the driver and passenger. Its comfortable and easy to drive. The 2nd & 3rd seats are removable but are heavy when taking them out. The only significant complaint we have is the gas and electrical. I only get 13-14 mpg and we have had some problems an electric window and keyless remote system. These are the only reasons I would have for trading it in for something else.

  • Love my Astro - 2000 Chevrolet Astro
    By -

    At 35000 miles/year, I am hard on a vehicle. Most of the miles were city driving(65-70%). I tend to wear brakes out faster than most people. Body integrity is excellent. Not a squeak or rattle for the first 80,000 miles. Still is quiet at 145K. No motor or tranny problems. Still goes 3000 miles without burning a quart of oil!

  • 2000 AWD AstroVan - 2000 Chevrolet Astro
    By -

    Have found vehicle to be extremely reliable, have put 90000 miles on it in 3 years, gone through the worst blizzard in the east coast in 50 years in 2 ft of new snow without even a hesitation. Very roomy, great cargo space, seats comfortable. not good on foot room, cant stretch out drivers legs. drivers information center was very useful.

  • The most under rated family van - 2000 Chevrolet Astro
    By -

    We sold our 1995 Astro only to buy another one for 2000. This van is the most under rated family vehicle on the road. It is more roomy than the Full Sized Expensive SUVs. The 4.3 6 cyclinder engine delivers a very good performance, despite what the horsepower rating of 190 says. This van is very smart.

  • Family Van - 2000 Chevrolet Astro

    Great family vehicle. Lots of cargo space for kids, dog, and camping gear.

  • My third Astro - 2000 Chevrolet Astro
    By -

    As indicated by the title I am sold on the astro. I have found it to be the most versatile and dependable vehicle I have ever owned. I have had only minor problems with any of the three I have purchased. I still have my 1991 and have purchased a 2000.
