Hidden gem that may not be so hidden
After 1 year of driving 09' Dodge Grand Caravan SE, I was ready to move up to SXT trim. Base engine was too weak and 4-speed AT just couldn't get into right gear, especially at low speeds. This probably contributed to higher than expected fuel consumption as most of my driving is in the city. If you need to get from point A to point B, then base engine will do. But, if you are a spirited driver like me, skip all the engine choices and just go with 4.0L. You will not regret it. Let me tell you: this car drives completely differently. The car accelerates effortlessly. Yes, upgrade to SXT trim will cost you more but with current incentives, the '10 SXT costs less than what I paid for '09 SE.
I think I found something special here
I was looking for a minivan that would easily carry my family and occasionally friends as well as packages. For me, car shopping takes a while, I test-drove all of them before making my decision. This Dodge was perfect for my needs and current incentives also were a big help. I test drove 3 trim levels, each with different engine configuration. Bottom line, if you are looking for value and you don't care about acceleration, take the base 3.3L engine. It's fine for the needs. 4.0L engine simply rocks, if you can spend an extra $2k, get that and never look back, it's that good. Another thing, gas mileage is better with bigger engine. So, you can potentially save money down the road.

Beware of this car
My car stalls on me while driving and leaves me without power steering or power brakes. Took it to dealer I bought it from and they got it to duplicate a couple of times and one time the person driving it was going 30 miles an hour and he said it stalled and he almost wrecked my car and it was not safe for me to be in. The transmisson is also clunking and making my car jump when coming to a stop. There are no codes popping up when this happens, so they say they don't know what to fix, so they don't fix it. Have a case going with customer service, but very hard to contact when you need to speak to them and dealership has a tendency to not respond to their request. I have been driving this going off an off ramp and it stalled and making turns and it stalled. Very deadly car. GM says he wants to get me into different car, but excuses all the time. BEWARE!!! Paid money already, and it did not fix problem and no refund. I no longer have this car.

Great Van
Bought A 2010 SXT w/ 4.0L in May, no long road trips yet but we get about 27 mpg on hwy and 17 mpg in town, not bad. Noticed a few weeks after we bought it a rattling noise coming from the driver sliding door, brought it to a local dealership, they couldn't find anything wrong, on the drive home the rattling stopped, haven't heard it since, strange. Have the Uconnect with two Video Entertainment systems, lifesaver with a two year old on longer drives. Easy to use controls(A/C, Cruise If your in the market for a this minivan, don't bother with the lower end models, its like a different vehicle stepping up to the SXT.
Be cautious before buying
Massive brake issues, before 15k miles to present. Constant A/C problems. Cheap leather seat material, front seats falling apart at 4 years.
