Used Car Review - Chevrolet Venture (2001-2007)
Car Choices:
No diesel engine available here; a 171hp 3.0 V6 gasoline is standard across the range. The engine loves to be revved in high speeds but somewhat delayed. It rewards you with a buttery ride but the engine itself is problematic, so do watch out for overheating and check if the radiator is replaced.
From 2001 until 2004, the base model (later named as the CT) gets dual airbags, ABS brakes, foglamps, a stereo system with CD and cassette, alarm, fabric seats and keyless entry. Launched in 2003, the LT adds the following: back-up sensors, roof rails, disc changer, and a VCD player with monitor. Completing the Venture line-up is the LT Premium (made available in 2005) gains leather seating. Do take note that 2001-2004 models have a seating configuration for 10 people while later ones were revised for eight bodies.
