2011 Grand Caravan is an amazing family vehicle!
I was so impressed with my first van purchased in 2000 that I replaced it in 2011 with a new one! Great stow and go, great entertainment system and reliability that can't be beat. I am only selling my 11 year old van because all my little kids are 18 now and moving out. The unlimited Mopar warranty I have is an amazing value as well! I can transfer it too!

Hassle free and good MPG
I've had my 2011 DGC for almost 6 years now. Bought it Jan 2014 with 35K miles and it now has 133K miles. It is very dependable and gets 20 city and up to 28 mpg highway. I fold 2 of the back seats in and put a memory foam down for vacation trips to let the kids sprawl out if they don't want to sit the whole time. Only issue has been needing new brakes every year or so. Mechanic said the wheels are too small for the van size, but I've had no other major issues.

Need to bring the Dodge Grand Caravan Crew back!!!
Dodge is doing away with their Dodge Grand Caravan. This vehicle is so nice. We have the 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan Crew and we love it! It has a lot of bells and whistles that came standard and is not standard on the newer models. We fill up the tank and drive over 9 hours to visit our son in college and drive around the town for a couple of days before having to put any more gas in it! The gas mileage (especially when the ECON button is pushed) is fantastic!!! We have had very little need to visit the dealership service department except for oil changes. We did wear the liftgate struts out and they had to be replaced a couple of weeks ago. Plus, there was a recall on the rear window vent button in the driver's door which was fixed. Other than that, the only other expense is that we had to have the rotors turned and the break pads replaced and new tires, all this fall.

Unreliable
Purchased new and if not for the poor quality and unreliability of major components I'd love this van. The only reason I made the purchase was for my two Boxers. At about 16K miles I took it to the shop because of vibration/wooble in the brakes. $400+ for new pads and resurfacing all four discs. Took to shop Friday the 25th for its 20k service. Been having knocking sound (like bearings) when braking x 2 days. Sound at left front gets worse the longer its driven. Call from Service (Newark Chrysler Dodge Jeep): The Transmission !!! One of the gears is falling apart. Still in the shop. Pricing a Honda Odyssey & getting rid of this POS.
Great Value, Great Family Car
I purchased it used as a 1 owner car. It took me a while to come around to being a man in a van. However, hauling the kids or lumber from Lowe's this thing did it all. I was thoroughly impressed the cargo space and the versatility and ease of the folding seats. I never once had a reliability issue with it. The vehicle worked flawlessly the entire time I owned it. I easily got 27mpg on the highway despite the 25mpg rating. The only reason I don't still drive it is because my wife's Ford Taurus X was falling apart to the tune of $2K with only 70K miles on it. We had to trade in my Caravan with her car to make up the amount we were upside down in the Taurus X.
