Overview & Reviews

The Venture becomes the first minivan to offer a factory-installed DVD video player; it comes standard on the popular Warner Bros. Edition. The WB and LT models get an all-new AWD option package. Two new colors and LATCH child safety-seat anchors sum up the changes for 2002.

• Car-like ride and handling, power sliding doors, eight-passenger seating option, available DVD entertainment system.

• Uninspired styling, flimsy modular seats, interior fit and finish, coarse engine character.

  Great Van! - 2002 Chevrolet Venture
  By Great Van - October 17 - 2:00 am

  Bought this van from a repo auction a year ago. replaced front brakes, and intake gaskets which are normal for this engine. I have put $500 in the van. I have never had any problems with this van! I love it and so do my kids. We love the auto sliding doors and I like the parking aide. I have 170,000 on her and she runs great! Wouldnt hesitate to drive this anywhere. Bought an entertainment center for a big screen home in it.

  Much better review - 2002 Chevrolet Venture
  By FH - February 17 - 11:56 pm

  I have had a much better ownership than some of the other people in their reviews. The van has done great until 85000 miles and only then did the ac break and the manifold gasket leak. Not a major deal. I can fix both of these with little outlay of money. If care is taken with the car and maintenance performed, it will last a long time. I plan to put 140000 on the car before selling it for another. My gas mileage in town is 22.5 and 28 to 30 on the highway. I drive the speed limit. Give it a try.

  I Love My Warner Bros.Edition! - 2002 Chevrolet Venture
  By tawnie - October 22 - 4:11 pm

  I have had little to no problems with my van. It makes road trips a blast and is very comfortable not to mention roomy I have driven my family all over and have only had to pay for recurring maintenance and minor repairs. I would definitely buy this van again.

  Great Value - 2002 Chevrolet Venture
  By CKeever - October 23 - 8:24 pm

  I have really enjoyed my Venture Warner Brothers van versus my friends other brands of minivans. For the year, it was the first van to have the DVD loader up front, so I can control my kids DVDs while I drive. I love that I can carry a total of 8 people in the van comfortably. Most of the other vans on the market carry only 7. I also love the parking sensors. We have only had 2 problems with the van, so for the mileage, that is really not bad at all. We have never had a problem with the DVD player, or other parts, but did need some a minor repair of an oil pan leak. Overall, weve taken our van from sea level to the peaks of Colorado and have really loved the vehicle.

  The Venture is a good mini van. Mine has stood up well for 4 years with both in town and highway driving

  Great vehicle - 2002 Chevrolet Venture
  By Jim F. - June 29 - 9:18 pm

  This has been one of (if not THE) best vehicles I have ever owned. All controls and gauges are handy and accurate. The built-in tire inflater is wonderful. Acceleration is good and mileage is as good as can be expected for a vehicle this size. The rear compartment is very roomy with the seats folded up.

  Love my Venture! - 2002 Chevrolet Venture
  By imokru - December 29 - 5:42 pm

  My wife uses this van to drive back and forth to work, in Lake Michigan shoreline driving conditions, and loves it. We also take it all over the United States in the summer (we are both teachers). It has performed like a champ. We have crossed the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico, climbed the Rocky Mountains, and cruized the Great Lakes region extensively. We love this van, and will be sorry to let it go when we finally wear it out and beat it to death (we have kids).

  very comfortable for long rides - 2002 Chevrolet Venture
  By Joyce - May 20 - 12:14 pm

  I bought this car after driving an Outback to Chicago and knowing I couldnt drive it for long rides. So I bought this and 3 weeks later drove to Denver, 1700 miles. Since then Ive driven it 4 times to Denver and twice to Dallas. Its extremely comfortable, reasonable gas mileage, and a huge cargo space. Id buy another one if they still made them.

  I love my Van! - 2002 Chevrolet Venture
  By Kruz - September 20 - 2:00 am

  When I went from a Windstar to the Venture I felt like I was stepping into a more quality vehicle. I was actually giggling when I drove it home, opened the automatic sliding door and showed the kids the DVD player and their individual captain chairs. Its like a new member of the family!

  Great Buy - 2002 Chevrolet Venture
  By KSCHEVYMV - February 9 - 2:00 am

  I have no regrets about purchasing this vehicle. I paid a lot less than what a Odyssey or Caravan would have cost. Drives great, is reliable and very roomy - especially the trunk. I only wish I had purchased the Warner Bros option package. Great buy for the money.
