2007 Dodge Caravan SXT 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 4A)
Review
I bought this van new for my family needs. I have 27,000 miles on it now and have had no problems so far. The only complaint I have is the transmission downshifting from 2nd gear to 1st gear. It has a very hard downshift that is very noticable. If feels like I'm doing damage by driving it with this condition. I started noticing it around 800 miles and thought maybe it was just breaking itself in. I took it to the dealer and they said that they could find nothing wrong with it. I personally think that they don't want to acknowledge the problem. Other than the transmission, I really like the van.

Review
Now have just under 80,000 miles. Van has been excellent. Still have original tires and brakes. Only part replaced was a rear bearing hub. Highway mileage on straight run is 26 mpg, consistent 20 mpg in town. Van has been my first van ever and would easily buy another due to versatility. Have not had the transmission issues mentioned in other posts. I have zero complaints.

Versatility, mileage, dependability

Manual rear view mirrors are pain.

Review
This is my second Dodge Caravan, and my family and I love it. I had my first one for almost 12 years and almost 200K miles with minimal problems. This one has most of the bells and whistles and I got it for $22K; a steal. I have the 3.8L engine and it really is more than I needed, but because of the package, I had no choice over the engine size. The 3.3 is more than enough unless you are pulling a load. Reading some of the other posts I guess that I was lucky since I have had no problems whatsoever with this van. It has a smooth and quiet ride, pretty quiet interior, and extremely comfortable. The stow and go seats just made it better. Overall, a great family van suited for long trips.
Favorite Features
The stow and go seats, powerful engine, smooth and stable ride, automatic doors, and the video and six-disk changer.
Suggested Improvements
I would have loved to have the under seat storage bins and the one under the radio area. I had to buy an aftermarket middle storage console to make up this shortcoming. I did not care about the cheap speakers included with the system; I replaced all of them.

Review
I love this van! I have a 1997 version of this faithful van and found this one to be much better. Mine is the quitest car I have ever owned! It is as quite as my Mercedes so I know what I'm talking about. Great car for road trips.
Favorite Features
The storage areas. Seems everywhere I look there is a place to put stuff. The great thing about it is that no one can see my gear when looking at my van. Great facture far not being broken into.
Suggested Improvements
More balance in the stereo. Great for the driver but VERY loud for the ones in the back of the van.

Review
This is the noisiest car I have ever driven. Sounds like the transmission is already in trouble after only 4000 miles and earlier. The road noise is awful . Could be the tires. Will take it back to the dealer next week, but compared to my 2000 Voyager its just noisier and parts internally and externally seem flimsier. Hope they are not going back to their old poor workmanship compared to Japanese cars.
Favorite Features
Very good price compared to the toyata I almost purchased. But for a difference of about 5k. I stuck with the Dodge. Design is quite good, but not that much of an improvement over my 2000 Voyager, although I love the way the seats fold down. Took a long time to get that.
Suggested Improvements
Switch the locations of the fuel gauge and the temp gauge. Have controls for the rear speakers.

I am happy with my 2007 Dodge Caravan SXT 4dr Minivan (3.3 L 6cyl 4A). Also I got lifetime powertrain warranty that no one offers out in market. Also my friend had it for 3-4 years & has low maintenance cost. Compare to toyota & honada you pay more & get same by the way when you buy dodge help US economy not foreign county

Review
Just the facts: Vehicle bought new; enjoy driving but transmission has been problem from start. Hard shifts up and down but not 100% of time. Happened so much now that I'm picking up squeaks from the fact that the front end is jarring so much. I had rented another new vehicle in '07 from a car rental co. Enjoyed it much which cause me to desire one. I put over 5000 miles on the rental. I bought the current one new; put over 4000 miles on a trip. It started having troubles with the transmission that was noticeable at probably 500 miles. Enjoy driving it but HATE this problem. First new Chrysler product purchased ever and last!
Favorite Features
Stow and Go package; still offered cassette tape with CD on this
Suggested Improvements
Realize '08 is complete body rework so comments probably not worth. '07 was a good size... looks like '08 is too small for us. Seats need to go back further. Additional light on rear cargo for extended area; ability to turn on and off at rear. Mirror on RR area for problem backing.

Review
This is our first minivan. I love the roomy interior, the styling and the seating is comfortable. However, it is the noisiest car I have ever owned. Something, which I believe is the passenger sliding door, is rattling. But the dealer does not hear it. When you drive on a bumpy road it feels as if the car is going to fall apart. We have had it in to have the brake drums replaced due to noise and now it is making the same noise from the front. I still really like the van, but I hope the dealership can find the source of the noises and rattles and fix the brakes once and for all. It only has 6500 miles on it, we bought it brand new.
Favorite Features
Interior, seating and exterior styling. Easy to drive.
Suggested Improvements
More comfortable ride, more options on the Caravan. Get rid of the rattles and squeaks!!!
