Allpar Chevrolet Venture Warner Bros. Edition minivan review
The Venture can accommodate a great deal of cargo, more than the Grand Caravan; yet it rides nicely and accelerates with ease, thanks to a standard 185 hp engine. All Ventures come with the same responsive, smooth-idling engine, which is capable of handling heavy loads or fast acceleration easily.
2001 Chevrolet Venture - The Car Connection
As for doors, the Venture has four of 'em. The rear doors can be ordered with power sliders, and the tailgate opens up for six-footers to fit beneath. And as for safety, the Venture's got a ream of equipment from dual front and side airbags, to four-wheel anti-lock brakes, to a rear parking aid (it beeps before you crunch the car behind) and a built-in child seat in some versions. GM's family vehicles rarely top the list for handling, but the Venture is easily the most pleasant, nimble van of the domestic choices. The independent-front, twist-axle rear suspension works equally well on the highway and on two-laners; the Windstar's too big for truly athletic moves, and Chrysler's vans just aren't communicative enough. In the Venture, the steering responds accurately, the body doesn't roll too much, and the ride damping strikes a great deal between firm and flouncy. So if it doesn't have any boffo tricks up its dual sliding doors, what makes this a Warner Brothers Venture? It's all inside the cockpit, where the Venture's perfectly well designed interior incorporates a built-in VCR and flip-down LCD screen. With the available wireless headsets, the Venture can become an ideal anaesthetic for small kids on the annual cross-country flog. Imagine the scene: a 600-mile trip to the beach, Toy Story on endless repeat, and a six-disc in-dash changer for the adults in the front.

2003 Chevrolet Venture
The Venture seats seven, and there's plenty of head room and elbow room no matter which seat you're in. Up front, a height-adjustment lever allows the driver to change positions without getting too close or too far from the steering wheel. The fore-and-aft range of the driver's seat is long enough for folks over six-and-a-half feet tall. The Chevrolet Venture operates seamlessly. The drivetrain is smooth, nearly invisible. The engine delivers good response in traffic, even though the Venture is less powerful than the Ford or Honda minivans. It's quiet, isolated. The touring suspension makes the Venture a good highway cruiser. It does hop around a bit on bumpy metropolitan surfaces, but you won't notice this if you do most of your driving on well-paved suburban roads.
Popular Mechanics - Chevrolet Venture
Of that GM trio, which consists of the Oldsmobile Silhouette, Pontiac Trans Sport and Chevrolet Venture, the Venture gets the lion's share of attention and sales volume. The Venture replaces Chevy's Lumina APV minivan. Most minivans have 7-passenger seating nowadays, but in the Venture you can vary the floor plan in 32 different ways. It's possible to order the second and third rows either as removable flip-and-fold benches or as individual buckets. Each bucket seat weighs a relatively light 38 pounds and lifts out easily. This means you can leave some, take some out, flip and fold others to accommodate, for example, several sheets of 4 x 8 plywood, with or without the buckets or benches in place. The driver's seat has a manual height adjuster, and there's a big storage bin under the front passenger's seat.
1997 Chevrolet Venture
The Chevolet Venture (the minivan formerly known as Lumina) and its Oldsmobile and Pontiac siblings (still known by their former names) are quite similar in exterior appearance. The Venture sports a big chrome grille. The wide pass-through makes transit between the front and the back easy, while numerous features make life in the back comfortable. High on any teenager's list would be the dual-jack rear audio controls that are optional on the Venture LS ($110). Back-seat passengers can listen to a tape or CD ($200) over headphones while front-seat passengers listen to the radio (or vice versa). Cargo space is plentiful; maximum capacity is only 13 cubic feet less than Chrysler minivans despite the Venture's narrower width. Behind the third row of seats, the Venture has more space than the Chrysler. The LS has a net across the rear opening and two netted compartments at the sides of the rear cargo area to keep gallons of milk and tool kits from skidding.
Chevrolet Venture car review
The Chevrolet Venture, like the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth - Chrysler Voyager, is a well-mannered, civilized vehicle that would have been classified as a luxury car not long ago. Once the rearmost seats are removed, it can accommodate a great deal of cargo; yet it rides quite nicely, handles well, and accelerates with ease, thanks to a standard 180 hp engine. All Ventures come with the same responsive, smooth-idling 180 hp engine, which is capable of handling heavy loads or fast acceleration easily.
