CHEVROLET VENTURE (2001-2007)

We Say...
Old but soldiering on, the Chevrolet Venture is practical albeit ancient and unrefined choice for those who need seating for 7. The 3.0-liter V6 gives generous power but sounds coarse. Interior fittings are sturdy and kid-friendly. Dual sliding doors and enough baggage space for a long trip up its practicality. Despite American badge, this one's sourced in China.
Luxury sofa on wheels.
Lacks driving substance.
