"We loved this van...still use it most everyday. Wish we could clone it! Loved the Warner Brothers features and all the goodies that came with the car: DVD headphones CD and cassette player: "On Star available"; under seat drawer; built in child car seat, lots of room...seats 8 comfortably! Hated when they didnt make them anymore...bought an Uplander, but not the same...sigh!"

"I have never gotten stranded in this vehicle. It also holds all 6 of my grandchildren in comfort. I can do yard sale drive bys with no problem either. And for the size, the gas mileage is decent. People still think it's a lot newer than it is because the style is so classy."

"I bought this van in 2004. At time I needed a big car to hall a growing family. While I bought this used, which I wish hadn't because this type of van was known for the the engines to fail or go out at 150,000 miles. Depsite replacing the motor, this had been a great family van. If Chevy was going to reintroduce a van, I buy again, but not used."

"GM Motors shot themselves in the foot when they discontinued making this car in 2006. In the five years I've owned this car (+80,000 miles.) It only broke down on me once. (gear shifting belt.) It is very road worthy and comfortable. Great fuel milage (26 Hwy==18 in town.) Finally traded it in on a Chevy Traverse. Will give you a review after 6 mos."

Great Mini Van

"I bought this from a used car dealership. I got a great deal on it because he THOUGHT the transmission was going out, turned out it was just wheel bearings! I had to replace the DVD system and buy 4 headphones ( approximately $200) I repaired the passengers side sliding door (it would not open with the remote..it was a loose linkage!) Cost to replace a tie rod end and wheel bearing on the passengers side was right at $325. I had to replace teh rear air suspension compressor ($200 installed) The van came with the optional inflating kit (hard to find) I have less than $2800 in the van and it carries a Kelly blue book value of $3,496 in very good condition! it has a 25 gallon fuel tank so cost a mint to fill it but can go like 500 miles between fill ups! I still have to replace the instrument cluster ($75 on ebay) and it will have everything working so for $2,900 I have a Warner Brothers 2002 Venture with everything working I love the way the van drives and handles (Much better than our 2004 Chevy Aveo)and the grand kids love the rear entertainment system with the wireless headphones and DVD player"

"LOVE my van ! However, the transmission went bad. I can't afford to fix it so I must sell it as is. Tires nearly new. Drives like a limo. Mettalic beige w/ beige interior. Automatic, fully equipped w/luxory assets."
