2002 Chevrolet Venture - Good and reliable
My Venture is a great van. We have had a few issues regarding the air conditioning and the fuel pump, but I am almost positive it is because we used the vehicle while living in Mexico for a year, which put both the air conditioning and the fuel pump under higher than usual strain.
Music is really important to me, and I love the sound system. Nothing fancy, but the sound quality is great. We also used this vehicle while I worked in an orphanage. We have piled tons of kids in, and the van has been through quite a beating. It's really easy to clean inside and out. It's really roomy inside as well. We were able to move all of our possessions back to the united states without needing a trailer.

We have had an issue with a tire, but I am pretty sure it is not a problem with the vehicle per say, but with the tire we put on it.
The roads in Mexico where we lived are TOUGH, with tons of potholes and speed bumps. Not any car/truck/van would be able to withstand the beating we gave our venture. Even with all the miles we have on it, it rides great.
I can't say it has been my favorite vehicle, and we have had some problems, but our Venture has been reliable and has made some really long trips. At a good price, I would buy another one.
I drove 4 adults, and about 12 kids to a soccer game in it. We all squeezed in REALLY tight.

1998 Chevrolet Venture - Decent vehicle to get around town
The van is a little beat up. It need suspension work, has some rust along the bottom edges of the exterior body, and it has few tears on the interior material lining the ceiling. Some of the interior plastic parts are falling off, and the rear external door handle is broken off. Besides that, the engine still runs great and it has been reliable for the 50 mile daily round trip. Most of the damage is cosmetic, so the car still runs fine without needing the repairs.

Family vacation to the Smokey Mountains, we slept most nights in the back of the van in parking lots and rest stops.

The van has a strong engine that is capable of travelling long distances. The fuel tank is about 25 gallons, and it gets decent gas mileage for its size, so it usually only needs to be filled up once a week. The interior is spacious, with removable seats, making it nice for picking up large objects, such as furniture. It is also comfortable to sleep in on long trips.

The body is somewhat cheaply made. The plastic used easily breaks, including the door handle, the headlight covers, and some interior parts. Some of the light bulbs (blinker lights) are stuck in their sockets. It is an older vehicle so it has required multiple replacements, such as brakes, muffler, fuel lines, and the battery.

First time we took it thru the snow and ice on them 14 inch rims an tires. Was the las time that ever happened. We spun out. Good thing it was a flat road and not going down or uphill. Luckily we didn't crash into something or some one. Then on them same lit tires we got stuck in the sand at the beach. Thank god for bonfires an beer.
