    BEST EVER fit for our family!

    This Dodge Grand Caravan Touring has been the best purchase ever! The kids love the space and the fact they have windows that OPEN! The automatic doors are a huge help when loading or unloading the car. It runs beautifully and I feel that it is very reliable. I am looking forward to several years of safe, secure travel in this vehicle.

    So far I love It

    We just bought this car two days ago. So far we love it. We have never had a minivan before. It has always been small two to four door cars, and we have a family of 6. So sometimes we had to take two cars. So this was a much better decision for us. I enjoy driving the dodge. I thought it would be harder to adjust to, but it wasn't so bad. It handles very nicely as well. It is very roomy, with stow and go seating...which I will need for those huge grocery trips...try fitting $500+ groceries in a small car, it doesn't work well, and things get smashed. One last thing, the kids won't fight or be squished anymore! Yay!

    Worth the money!

    I've owned this van for 12 years and it's been very reliable with only minor maintenance issues. Other than new tires, new brakes and new batteries the van has only been in the shop very few times in 12 years.

    RUNS GREAT!

    For an older model mini van, started right up every time. Easy to maintain and keep up on oil changes. Transmission worked great! Never any issues.

    It would be awesome to have some more style on the exterior, but other than that a good car. what's nice is it's really cheap too.
