Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Big-van capacity, small-van package
- available all-wheel drive
- high-towing ability.
Cons
- Engineered in the early '80s, iffy crash test scores, cramped front footwells.
What’s new
Mechanically unchanged, the Astro now offers a chrome grille.
Edmunds says
Other than its ability to mimic an SUV in terms of towing ability and cargo space, there's not much about the Astro van that makes it a viable choice over its numerous competitors.

2nd Astro Van
3 out of 5 starsNancy, 05/08/2008
2004 Chevrolet Astro AWD 3dr Minivan (4.3L 6cyl 4A)
The first one I bought was a 1995, drove it 109,000 miles, the transfer case went, replaced it for $2300 then traded it for a 2004 model. It is now 2008 and I have 51,000 miles and need a new transfer case. Both vehicles had electrical problems with the 'check engine soon' light, numerous brake repairs and each needed idler arms and torsion bars. I love the van tho and today when my … mechanic told me to junk it because I needed a transfer case and a brake hub and a speed sensor, I said no. But, now, I need to find a more reliable vehicle that will carry and do all the family stuff that my van does.
Thank You GM

2004 Chevrolet Astro Rwd 3dr Minivan (4.3L 6cyl 4A)
We are on our 2nd Astro, our first is a
1988 Astro LT. The 4.3L engine is one
of the best.I fix cars for a living and
this is the van for my family.
Best Vehicle in 3 classes

2004 Chevrolet Astro AWD 3dr Minivan (4.3L 6cyl 4A)
If your looking for a SUV, truck or
mini-van this is it except better.
It's all of the above. Plenty of room
for cargo and people. It tow's up to
5000 lbs(AWD version)and seats 6
people without feeling cramped, 8 for
those short trips. The LT version
provides a luxury feel to this "mid
size Van". I never driven a more
stable vehicle on snow,water and ice
(again AWD). … Our initial intention
was to buy a larger SUV (smaller SUV's
are no comparison) and when we looked
at overall interior space, power and
fuel economy we became ASTRO owners
and yet saved about 10,000 dollars.
Good Van

2004 Chevrolet Astro Rwd 3dr Minivan (4.3L 6cyl 4A)
Our family expanded so we bought this van with 34k miles for a great price. We travel home 3 to 4 times a year (1000mi round trip) and it runs like a charm. No problems. I feel safe when my wife is alone with the kids on trips. Love the rear air and towing capacity
