Dodge Grand Caravan

This van is the "Biggest Bang for your Buck" out there. We did a lot of research, and though the Dodge may not be the safest or the fastest, but it does give you the most for your money. Being able to fold the seats into the floor is a GREAT option. No more fighting to pull them out or put them in and lug them around. The automatic doors make it much easier with the baby as well!

2005 SXT after 9 months

A couple of things with the interior design are irritating. Window and door lock controls are not back-lit. You can't see them at night. Ditto for the steering wheel controls for radio and cruise control. You can't see the hood release and parking brake release at night. Also, there's too much clutter on the radio and A/C panels. Just too many buttons. Power seats do not lower enough. I've bumped my head many times getting in and out of the car. And the leather seats are not that comfortable. Mileage on a round trip to Arizona settled in on about 24.5 mpg. Of course this was at speeds between 70 and 75.

Nice Van

This is a nice van and is our second Grand Caravan. We bought the Special Edition with a few extras and it has proven to be better than the '02 we had. I have not yet put out on an extended trip, but in town it is getting 18 mpg, which is what I was getting the our '02 on the highway at about 85mph. We just bought a new house and the Stow-n-Go seats came in real handy making several trips and not having to move those heavy seats. The power doors and rear hatch are a nice options to have. I have not even noticed the decrease in horsepower, and the engine sounds stronger. For the money you cant beat this van with features that cost and arm and leg from Honda and Toyota.

I love my Grand Caravan

I have had 3 Windstars and a Honda Minivan. The Dodge Grand Caravan is by far the best of the 4. The stow and go seating is absolutely wonderful (and that's why I bought it). I have had no problems whatsoever in 10K miles and year and half of ownership. It rides like a dream, handles great, (could use a little more pep, Quiet interior, but its OK) Gas mileage around town about 18, on the road 23 both with AC on. No problems folks and that's the truth! I'm so happy with it, Chrysler sure has changed since Mercedes took them over- I feel like I'm driving a Mercedes. I'll buy another in a heartbeat. Just love it!

This is our 2nd Grand Caravan and we are loving it, especially the Sirius radio and navigation. Everything about this car is great. The Special Edition is awesome. Comfortable, great performance, luxurious and quiet ride. Stow and Go seats are a plus. We almost bought the Nissan and are glad we didn't. The seats are completely hidden. No more pulling them out and storing. Highly recommended. Has less air bags offered, but we don't have kids, so that was a non issue. Great value, price was right for the value.
