good van
I have had very good luck with this van. So far 11000 no major problems
Happy with this vehicle!
This is my second caravan. Traded a '95 6 cylinder for this one. I love the way it handles, it's quiet, and the seating is comfortable. Greatest improvement for me was the second sliding door. We had over 100,000 on the '95 and never needed any repairs. This one was in twice early on for a problem with a sensor which activates the airbag light. Otherwise, it's been an uneventful year. I do recommend the 6 cylinder if budget allows, since most complaints I have heard come from owners of 4 cylinder models.

Great travel van!
I bought the van with 130000 miles on. Had to replace AC compressor, fix a electric window motor and buy the missing middle seat. Put on big tires to bring it off the ground. We took it on several long distance camping trips. Love the smooth ride. Fuel economy is not too bad on long distances, depending on driving style. Cruise control useless in higher altitudes (we live in CO). Small transmission fluid leak. No engine problems whatsoever. We also own a 95 Plymouth van in Europe which comes with a 4cyl. turbo diesel engine. Wish I could have that engine in it! Powerful and very economic (up to 30 miles)
satisfied
My transmision died the day crysler declared bankrupsy. 100,000ml/7 year warranty was still in force. Today I picked up my van with a new transmision, 3 yr, 100,000 mile warranty. I am satisfied crysler did me right when I bought it and is still doing me right! This van has been great. Only bad thing is I can not aford another, the grand caravan is too much for us working people.
Best Driving of the Vans
After reading all the hype about the Honda and getting a chance to drive a 01 and 02 Honda I can't see what the hype is about. Yes the magic seat is a neat feature and the upgraded motor and tranny are class leading but the Dodge offers a better balanced suspension, steering with more feel, a quieter interior (the Honda is noisy), better seats, built in child seats (just as much as a plus as Honda's magic seat), surprisingly tight build quality, smooth motor and tranny, all for thousands less in real world money.
