This vehicle is great for anyone needing a reliable means of transportation. This vehicle has held up through numerous accidents with deer. There are too many wonderful things about this vehicle to mention. However, I will try. This vehicle is easy to clean, minimal outside noise, and good on gas when driving long distances. The overall design of the vehicle has given no concerns or issues. This vehicle is coming up on 200,000 miles and is still reliable as the day I bought it. There have been issues with the thermostat and several sensors. However given the year and mileage, things are bound to wear out. The doors continue to operate properly, and there are no leaks. The one major concern is the air conditioner. It does not blow very well, and the drain line continue to drain slow. So... (more)
Story
It was not fun however, It was memorable. This vehicle provided shelter and safety through a tornado. We were not listening to the radio but instead was listening to CDs and just thought we were driving through a bad rainstorm until we seen a tree fly past us . Wow!! No one was hurt and the van survived with only minor scratches.
Pros
Positive attributes for this vehicle is the manufacturing of all parts. It is reliable, safe and handles well in the snow, wind and rain. Unlike most vehicles (van's), they can become top heavy and blow all over the road. This vehicle does not. The heating system and air conditioning is routed throughout the van with vents focusing on both the floor and ceiling. There is a 3rd wiper and defroster for clearly seeing out the back window. Additionally, the removable seating is great for hauling items in place of a truck.
Cons
The air conditioning drains on the floor if it runs for extended periods of time. The headlights begin to fog up and are not as bright as they were when the car was first purchased.

2005 Chevrolet Venture - Reliable and lots of room!

We have owned this trusty vehicle for 13 years with little to no mechanical problems. We regularly drive our whole family of seven comfortably in it. It feels good to drive, and I always have the room I need. We are over 240k miles and going strong!
Story
We take all of our family trips in this vehicle, especially visiting grandparents 600 miles away.
Pros
Reliable, lasts a long time without mechanical issues, fits the whole family.
Cons
Not the prettiest car and a little rusty.
