  Great Van - 1999 Chevrolet Venture
  By nascar2448 - August 12 - 11:20 pm

  Well I have owned the van for a few years and it has held up great. I have 4 kids and it is very roomy and it is amazing on gas for the size of the vehicle. It may be unbelievable but it has 319000+ miles on it. And as far as I know it has never been rebuilt but other than routine maint. it does not have many problems i have to replace the shift cable and get the a/c fixed but all in all it is well worth the money spent. And in this economy the gas mileage is good getting 23-26 city and 28 -31 hwy. I have the 25 gal. optional tank and can get over 600 miles to a tank. All I have to say is GOOD JOB GM.

  Decade Van - 1999 Chevrolet Venture
  By Daisy - March 11 - 9:08 pm

  Bought used (9 mo. old) w/14k miles. Initial problem: A/C had funny smell when used 1st time each spring. Very roomy. Love the features incl. elec. pkg seating for 8 2 built-in child seats. Had it now exactly 10 years. Issues with automatic door lock - was a recall issue. Pretty reliable given weve put 100,000 mi on it. Good family vehicle. 10 day Family trip (1200 mi ea way) last summer with no problems. over the years we have done only handful of repairs (water pump, manifold gasket,belt tension gear) Left rear tail light bulb out every 3 mths drivers airbag light intermittently on Our other car is a CAMRY -- which we LOVE

  Very good van - 1999 Chevrolet Venture
  By hlima - January 17 - 5:33 pm

  My sister has a Caravan. I like that van, but when we tried the Venture we didnt think it twice. Its very comfortable. The only problem is my wife wants to drive it all the time. No repairs until now, only normal mantenance. The electrical system works fine but there are some minimal issues like the lights blink once when you press the brakes.

  Very decent minivan - 1999 Chevrolet Venture

  We bought it mainly for its design, but we found a very good interior space and overall performance.

  Great hauling vehicle - 1999 Chevrolet Venture
  By Erik - January 26 - 10:22 pm

  I have never had a problem with the vehicle besides the intake manifold gasket. The vehicle is very reliable.It always starts on the coldest days and passes emissions. Great vehicle for going 2 the hardware store with except the chore of removing the seats.

  Great Family Minivan - 1999 Chevrolet Venture
  By cookrenee - September 11 - 2:00 am

  Our Chevy Venture is a great all-round car. My husband loves it because it does great with Lowes trips, including 4x8 plywood. Its 7-passenger capacity has been well-used! Weve traveled from Texas to Washington and back again several times with no problems, and it has had very little need for repair work. We love the 4- door style, and the automatic remote control on the right side door. The extended version gives us lots of storage space, and the seats are extremely easy to fold down and flip up out of the way, or to take out. Weve enjoyed the module in front that keeps track of outside temperature, mileage, direction of travel, etc.

  Happy w/ 99 Venture - 1999 Chevrolet Venture
  By jmp1970 - April 13 - 2:00 am

  We love our Venture. We have had it almost a year, purchased new. We previously had Caravan and had an Odyssey for about 1 yr and had major problems that I was told were normal, NOT! I would buy another Venture when the time comes.

  99 CHEVY VENTURE - 1999 Chevrolet Venture
  By PLAYPEN95 - January 22 - 2:00 am

  OUR CHEVY VENTURE IS WONDERFUL!!! it is a very comfortable ride. the children even love the van. they think its so cool with the sliding door, cd player,the seperate seating instead of one big all together seating, they seem to have more room. we have had a plymouth van in the past and it does not compare to the venture!! there has not been anything we have not love about the van as of yet. if you want a fully loaded minivan and the comfort of sitting home on your sofa, and a great, reliable van then the chevy venture is the one for you!!! hope you all enjoy your ride as much as we do.

  Chevy Venture - great 2nd car! - 1999 Chevrolet Venture
  By jeeplover - December 28 - 2:00 am

  Extended cab gives owner the ability to drive and have lots of space. Good and reliable. Good inner space and has few maintenance problems. Mine has 86K miles and has been no trouble. Front wheel drive requires a slower than normal start - no kicking this into 0- 60 in 6 seconds!! People confuse that issue for trans problems.

  LS Venture 99 with 180000 miles - 1999 Chevrolet Venture
  By Juan Rodriguez - November 17 - 2:00 am

  I bough my Chevrolet Venture on 08/01/1999 with 79 miles. I am driving 300 miles on Florida highway every day. I had to change the engine oil and filter every 5000 miles transmission oil and filter every 60,000 miles tune-up and O2 sensor at 110,000 miles. My Venture has 180,000 miles now and the engine still is very quiet. It is making 26 MPG on Highway and 19 MPG on city. Let see if it can make 300,000 miles with original engine and transmission. This is a true history.
