"I purchased a new 2010 Grand Caravan and immediately notice excessive exhaust noise. The demo van did not have this problem. Picture a van without an exhaust but the noise is muffled. Everyone who rides in the van commenst at how loud the noise is. at 24,000 miles rear calipers siezed and ignition switch failed. This can happen to any car but what has blown this out of all proportions is that Chrysler says this is normal. The problmes would have been acceptable had Chrysler admitted the problems and just fixed them instead of denying and making it difficult to get satisfaction. My advice to anyone thinking of buying a Chrysler product is not to. Having driven Chrysler products since 1979, i am one customer who will not be back."

"It's a nice van so far. I've only had it for a month, but it is doing it's job nicely. It has more pickup than I would have expected, and the stow and go seating is great!!"

"I generally just okay with this van. It was purchased from Enterprise used w/ about 35,000 miles on it. I was initially very unhappy b/c driving it caused my foot to hurt so badly I thought I'd have to get rid of it immediately. They took forever to get me an owner's manual which partially explained how to adjust the foot pedals which helped a lot over time it seems. The van is noisy to me. It gets loud when driving at slightly faster speeds but it is probably not a mechanical issue. I'm just not used to hearing anything like that coming out of a Mazda 626. The wipers come on so easily b/c they are part of the turn signal system and it is annoying. The headlights are not on the stearing wheel as I am used to. The radio requires you to push the on button then the prefered system (CD, Radio) so it ends up being two steps instead of one and that's annoying. The van exterior feels cheap b/c it has so much give in it if you lean against it. I don't recall feeling that when leaning against my previous vehicles. I just hope it endures and my opinion improves over the years. It is very roomy and has great interior lighting and room for DVD player on the ceiling."

"This is the 4th mini van I've owned, and this is the best. Just put 12,000 miles on vacation with no problems. Best mileage was 29, average for trip was 24 mpg. Comfortable for long trips, great storage with stow-n-go seating and wide doors. We camp with a tent, so we use plastic 3 door dressers for clothes and kitchen which work well out of the sliding doors. Van handles well on the road or in city traffic. No real complaints, would like it to be quieter inside especially when windy outside. Great visibility and easy for us older folks to get in and out of."

"My wife was driving to work in her grand caravan. A half- awake teen tried to cross the road in front of her and then panicked and applied his brake. Her car T-boned his large Pontiac at a right angle at about 60 mph. She lived. The bumper shock absorbers, the seat belts, the air bag, and the roll-under-on-impact mounting of the Dodge engine saved her life. He lived too, but broke his leg."

"Dodge Grand Caravan has amazing storage capacity with the stow-no-go seats that fold completely away. It's like having a pickup truck. The seats aren't as sturdy and comfortable as I'd like, especially the seats behind the driver's. There is a little too much squeay noises, also. Overall, it's much better for big people like me than any of the "crossovers" I've looked at."

"Bought caravan syt runs great with a 3.8 engine. The 6 speed transmission shifts smooth and gets about 22.0 MPG . Seems to be a good buy so far."

"I made the mistake of deciding that I needed to trade in my 2006 Caravan for a new 2010 Caravan. The body styling is more boxy, less sleek than previous models. The interior has moved some of the old feature around and added new ones of dubious value. The on board computer for following gas mileage/elapsed time/distance was moved from the overhead console to the dashboard with the odometer; not as easy to get to-rarely use it anymore. The satellite radio is a nice addition as is the har drive. The moving panel action that takes place when you load a cd is slow and could distract a drive if you did it while driving. The back up camera distorts the depth perception of objects behind the vehicle. If you don't look over your shoulder and depend on the camera, you will hit something. The automatic movements on the drivers seat for up/down/front/back/tilt do not work together well and take more movements to get the desired position than did the 2006 model. Engine; The engine sounds weak and the transmission is jerky when it shifts. Doesn't seem to be as powerful or smooth as the 2006 model. The salesman seemed proud of the fact that there were 8 cup holders in the front seat alone, really accurate and sad example of their misplaced priorities in this vehicle. Overall rating-avoid at all costs."

"I was very excited to get my new van after driving an old SUV for 16 years - after a few weeks I wanted my old truck back - it had better mileage. I was very disappointed about the mileage as I had chosen a van instead of a truck to have better mileage. It looks beautiful but feels like I am driving a tin can - not solid."

"Have bought a new Grand Caravan every five years starting in 1995. Have loved every one and have sold each one for a reasonable price. If you want quality and performance for a reasonable price this is your vehicle. The only thing I am not crazy about is the new style on my new 2010. Hope this is changed by 2015"
