Rented this van for a road trip from Orange County California to the Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce National Parks, a road trip coming in at 1450 miles total. There were three adult passengers plus myself along with our luggage. Didn't expect to enjoy the 2019 Grand Caravan much, just wanted a vehicle that would be comfortable on an extended trip and accept all of our assorted baggage. Ended up enjoying just about everything about it. It was a good driver with an assuring road feel including nice taut steering and capable brakes. Myself and my passengers were all very comfortable on the entire journey in the four bucket seats provided. Found the center mounted video controls easy to use, including navigation and Sirius satellite radio, even though I've never owned a car with this feature. Averaged a very respectable 28 mpg through most of the trip. On that note, about the only thing I found to be a little lacking was the tall gearing (I'm sure to yield the good gas mileage). As a result, on steep grades you definitely have to put your foot into it (step on the gas) to get it to downshift when it needs to. Overall though, it's a very capable ride. I've been a foreign car owner for my entire life including British, Japanese, and German makes, never an American made one. Whenever I've driven domestic vehicles I've always felt they came up short against their foreign competition. The Grand Caravan was a surprisingly good experience, one that has shifted my attitude toward the better for cars built in the good old USA.

This is our second caravan and trust me, at ten grand or more below the competition, it’s a great value. Plenty of power for a mini van, plenty of room for the family, plenty of storage below and behind the seats, plenty of room for those of us who aren’t tiny, and plenty of savings overall.

Dodge Grand Caravan vs Toyota Seina

First of all, we reserved a Chrysler Pacifica and Budget failed to provide. They offered a price cut for a Dodge Grand Caravan. We were OK with that.....We were pleasantly surprised. My wife took her family from Memphis, TN to Phoenix, AZ with low stress/drama. The car is so intuitive and easy to drive she actually liked it better than the car she has driven since 2011. I flew to Arizona to meet up with her and take over the wheel. I was amazed at the overall functionality of the vehicle. Visibility is 100%!!! We averaged over 27 mpg over 4,000 miles of traveling (5 passengers with luggage). The only problem was the transmission which for me wasn't an issue at all. It has a severe tendency to NOT downshift to maintain speed when the cruise control is on so it loses up to 10mph before it downshifts. However, the 6 speed auto has a manual shift mode. On our long I-40 stretch from Arizona to Tennessee I used the cruise control (of course). The PCM seamed reluctant to downshift to maintain speed (saving gas). The dash mounted shifter is 2" from your right hand and with a flick of your finger you can downshift a gear to maintain your cruise control speed flawlessly/seaminglessly. It was so smooth all my passengers fell asleep......Fast forward 2 weeks we went on another trip and PURPOSELY reserved another Dodge Caravan. We ended up with a Toyota Siena. I was actually excited about this, but was horribly disappointed. The Toyota has electric steering assist compared to the Dodge's old school hydraulic. The Dodge's steering was WAY better!! The Dodge we rented came with leather and navigation for less money than the Toyota. The Yota only had 1 USB port!! Really??? It had cloth seats, no navigation, and a HORRIBLE 8 speed that was constantly hunting/changing gears. The Yota had no easily manual shift mode to cancel out the vehicle's inadequate PCM to select the right gear. It was total driving misery! Even worse was the throttle. It is no linear. The light turns green and you give normal throttle input to accelerate and you barely move. Everyone is blowing your doors off at this point so you increase throttle input. That's when all the sudden all hell breaks looks and this Yota becomes RACE CAR and anyone drinking a cappuccino or latte s wearing it in their lap There's no in between. You are either getting your doors blown off or you are off to the races. The Dodge Grand Caravan had very linear throttle inputs and you could easily predict the upshifts and downshifts. If you are driving to provide comfort to your passengers by not throwing them around in their seats the Dodge Grand Caravan blows the Toyota Siena out of the water for less money/

I’m a jaguar guy but renting vans is always good! I gave up to grow up. I play guitar for a living so the practical part is great and it’s comfortable, never a shortage of room. Can it last with good care? I hope so. No kids no dogs. 🎸

Poor finish and materials

While very roomy and adjustable with fold-in-the-floor seating, this minivan lacks a lot in finish and materials. Very bare-bones finish. I especially hated the bright, glaring red and white instrument control panels and the fact that the bolts holding the body together are clearly visible in the wheel wells. Also did not like that the seat attachments stick up in the floor quite a bit when the seats are in their folded-down position. Did not handle well, was soft on steering and braking. Pass this one by, there are much better minivans.
