Great multipurpose vehicle.

2018 Dodge Grand Caravan GT Fleet 4dr Minivan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
Navigation by voice activation would be nice. Also, an audio component to the back up safety system would be helpful. This vehicle handles more like a car then a minivan. Comfortable with nice amenities.

2018 Dodge Grand Caravan GT Fleet 4dr Minivan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
Bought a used Grand Caravan GT, a former rental fleet vehicle. So far this van has exceeded each and every expectation. Smart design, powerful drivetrain, best in class stow and go seats and a comfortable cabin. All for 10k less than the competition. Pound for pound and dollar for dollar this may the top vehicle in production for the 2018 model year. Its that good.
Transmission went out at about 6,000 miles

2018 Dodge Grand Caravan GT Fleet 4dr Minivan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
Love the van the transmission they make in these vans are trash ! I had this van about 5 months and I don’t drive it that often. Only to work really. I did drive it on vacation. But transmission shouldn’t of went out at 6,000 miles. The van had one other owner.

Which Grand Caravan does Edmunds recommend?
Make no bones about it, the allure of the 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan lies solely in its affordable pricing. That said, we'd skip past the rather basic SE and select the midlevel SE Plus. That way you get the benefit of the Grand Caravan's other competitive advantage (the second-row Stow 'n Go seats), alongside modern necessities such as Bluetooth and automatic headlights. The leather-wrapped steering wheel and upgraded cloth also help downplay the Grand Caravan's otherwise cheap-feeling interior.
Full Edmunds Review: 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan Minivan
Driving
The Grand Caravan is adequate from a performance perspective, which is all you really need from a minivan. Though it does little truly wrong from behind the wheel, it lacks refinement in both its powertrain and suspension tuning relative to its competition.
Comfort
This is a minivan with enough luxuries and features to handle all-day drives. The ride comfort is acceptable, and its interior is loaded with comfort-enhancing amenities.
Interior
The Grand Caravan's interior flexibility is its biggest strength. Once you step into the cabin, you'll find there's more than enough passenger room throughout.
Utility
The Stow 'n Go second-row seats are segment-leading in terms of functionality. Manual operation of the third row is a little busy but works well. And there's massive storage in the second-row floor if you don't need to stow the seats.
