Uncomfortable Ride

2006 Dodge Caravan SXT 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 4A)

This new Caravan is the 6th one I have owned ranging back to 1985. It is by far the worst riding vehicle that I have ever owned. The suspension is so tight that it picks up every little imperfection on any road. The ride is so bad I actually took it back to the dealer for service but the technicians said, "This is something you would not expect from a new vehicle but everything checks out as normal." The 1999 Caravan I traded in with 114,000 miles actually road better than this 2006 vehicle. I test drove three versions of this vehicle and they were all the same. I purchased this vehicle because of the great deal I was offered hoping the ride would get better. After 2000 miles it hasn't.
A basic people hauler

Performance is fair to good. Acceleration from a stop is mediocre, but at highway speed passing acceleration is very good. Ride is good and comfort is very good. The standard Caravan is more reliable than the Grand Caravan (backed up by Consumer Reports), probably because it has fewer creature comforts. If you are looking for a basic people hauler that is also comfortable for long trips, gets decent mileage (better than the larger engine of the Grand Caravan), is fun to drive and nice looking, the Caravan is a solid choice.

This has been a good van

We bought this van with just under 60,000 miles on it 11 years ago. It has been hit by 2 deer in that time. We have regularly serviced the transmission (fluid and filter about every 30,000 mi.). It now has about 130,000 miles and it is still dependable. Repairs: EGR Valve, Brake job, drive axle, tires and battery. It has good traction for winter driving with proper winter tires and great fuel economy. There is plenty of power.
