Sweet Car, Very Versatile Seating And Stylish Exterior — absolutely beautiful! i really like this car and it is still working very well! we had to take it to the shop a few times but hey, it is 13 years old! good car! i really liked the modular seating where i could remove each seat by itself. the window vents in the 2nd and 3rd row were really handy and the horn is really loud. i hear safety is an issue but my Venture has been hit in the rear a couple times and still has no dents on the bumper.

Family Vehicle — A family vehicle..what can I say. I needed something that would grow with my daughters' and for all that shopping! Love the power it has when I pass...or maybe I just got a heavy foot...LOL. We like it!

1997 Chevy Venture — I love the versatility of this van. We can fit so much stuff in it! It has been a really good van for us. Now that its paid for, the maintenance costs are much less than a car payment on a new vehicle. It is comfortable to drive even on long trips.
