Absolutely the best vehicle I have owned and I am

I am a senior. Love my power seat--bought it with just over 100,000 km on it and now over 400,000--always ran well- a lot of highway miles from coast to coast. So comfortable-with bucket seats in second row and split in back--easy to take out for hauling things--not stow and go--seats are more comfortable--solid van--alas decision to replace tie rod as still runs great but body starting to rust on side doors--I would fully expect to easily get at least 500,000km + but with the rust--is it worth repairing or finding another 2005 with lower mileage--great on gas--we did maintain oil changes and normal maintenance.--nothing major. Am so disappointed that they are not making the CARAVAN anymore--I drove the Grand Caravan from PEI to Ontario BUT much prefer my shorter Caravan--easier to park and move in smaller spaces. Love Love the 2005 Caravan.

I was a man trapped in a woman's vehicle. Now I have become a man in a mini van and love every mile of it! This van has been fuel efficient (27+ on trips) comfortable (5 in the family) useful (Sto and Go baby!)and has me convinced that I made the right purchase. Power slider doors are wonderful. This van is as comfortable to drive as many high dollar import cars. Men don't be scared! Embrace this mini-man van! We did have a few bumps at the beginning, that were easily handled under warranty. Dealership was excellent and on the ball.

Buy a solution, not a Chrysler

After 15,000 miles spark plugs, air bag, injectors, brakes (pads and rotors), air bag again, power steering leaks, noisy engine belts, cv joints, sliding doors don’t close properly, so we can feel air coming thru doors rubber seals but, the worst one is that after 4 months trying to get a roof paint warranty thru Chrysler customer service they told me: Chrysler won’t participate in this repair.

Since my last car was a compact sedan, I thought the Caravan would be overwhelming to handle. Not so. I felt right at ease driving the Caravan and wished I had purchased one sooner!
