The 1998 Venture and its siblings offer a competitive van, with unique features that set them apart. If you need absolute maximum capacity, the Chrysler vans offer more space, but that space comes with increased bulk. If fit and finish are the top priority, then the Ford Windstar is probably the best in that area. Many minivan owners, however, are looking for ways to make a busy life easier. No other minivan offers the combination of conveniences available from the Chevrolet Venture, Pontiac Trans Sport and Oldsmobile Silhouette. Features such as the power sliding door, flip-and-fold seats, rear-seat audio jacks and OnStar are welcome additions to the arsenal of tricks to tame a hectic life. And most of us can use all the help we can get in that area. |
