Great van. We love the stow n go seats. When the seats are down it can hold most things you could put in a truck. Then the seats fold up and I can carry my family. We also pulled the biggest u-haul trailer full of stuff from Utah to Michigan with no problems. Like most any car it needs some maintenance and some repairs. We've been very happy with it.

OK for a van, but problematic areas are expensive.

I bought my 2012 Grand Caravan used with just over 100k miles on it. It was great for a van for the first year I owned it. Took it from Ohio to Gatlinburg and back with no issues. After the first year however lots of things started to fail. The first was the rear brakes. Both calipers seized and had to replace rotors, pads, calipers. Then the alternator went and the engine developed a tick. The alternator was replaced twice by the original owner and 6 months after I replaced the alternator I had to replace it again. As well as the front calipers, rotors, and pads. The TIPM started to fail as well. The fuel pump relay went bad and a new TIPM would have been 1200 so I just bypassed it. At 146k miles... the engine is blown. I've done regular oil changes and I've never seen an oil leak. Bad core design. Won't buy a Chrysler vehicle again.

Lots of features for the money. Rides well, gas mileage is good for such a large vehicle. Good power and acceleration.

Ours now has just over 116,000 miles. We have replaced the battery, tires and transmission cooler lines - that's all, except the A/C needed a re-charge for the first time today.. It has plenty of zip, great in freeway traffic. It handles well. It's a bit noisy on some pavements -- don't know if that's inherent in the vehicle or the tires. On trips we may get 28 mpg but at home less than 20. I'm 5'10" but find that I have the driver's seat back at its max. We've driven Chrysler Corp minivans since 1993. 200,000 miles or more has been the norm. I track the cost/mile (excluding fuel and insurance) and when there begins a continuing upward trend or I lose trust in the vehicle, it's time for another. We don't seem to be close to that.
