2004 Chevrolet Venture Plus review from North America
"A best buy with no need to spend big $$"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake pads replaced by dealer at NO charge after too much squealing, otherwise nothing yet.
General comments?
Excellent ride. Basic 'Plus' model offers a/c, power windows, locks, automatic so unless you like lots of extras (that only break) this car has everything you need for very reasonable. The non-power sliding doors are EASY to use so unless elderly or have physical problems, another option that is not important. An excellent minivan with adequate power. The 3.4L 6 cylinder is the only engine option available whether you paid $20K or 35K for the van. Same engine for everybody. The only negative for me is the lack of a tachometer on this model. Why??
