We've been considering getting a van because it would be really nice to have the option of taking passengers sometimes. Vans are generally way out of our price range but a friend just offered to sell us their 2004 Chevy Venture for a very good price. I was pretty excited until I searched on here and noticed some negative reviews in regard to crash safety. I did look up the reports and they are pretty vague and somewhat contradictory so, I am wondering, how truly unsafe is a Venture? Is it really something that should be avoided?
