1996 Chevrolet Venture LS review from North America
"A big money sucking box"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The head gasket blew.
The intake gasket later let go.
The transmission slipped.
General comments?
Stay away from this piece of junk.
It has held up to the warnings I received and I spent more to keep it alive than I paid for it.
