Great family vehicle, great for Uber

This vehicle drives great, has a lot of leg room and plenty of space. Fold down seating is ideal for hauling items. Was average on gas. Has automatic push button doors for opening and closing

Solided runner

Very Nice ride, goes down the road straight as an arrow. Heat kicks butt, lots of meat on the tires yet and every year winterized/summarized. I didn't think I'd like a minivan but it works, Works Very well! I like the stow & go seats and plenty Of room for 7 person. Power locks, windows. Engine Well Maintained, No accidents, Smooth ride.

Rusting on quarter panels

Garage kept going on 11 years and counting. Chrysler body build quality control not good in Fenton, MO where this one came off the line. Rusting out along back fenders on both sides of vehicle regardless the TLC she was given over the years with hose, soap and bucket in driveway. Aside from that, mechanically sound at 135k on the odometer with all routine maintenance kept up to date. Has served the family well but starting to become an embarrassment with the rusting. Was hoping for 12 years of bliss but might be coming up a tad short.

Unexpected repairs

Great family car -- for almost all one's needs. Don't know how it compares with other vans. Here's my replacements parts since 2006 (other than normal maintenance): -- Steering wheel boot replacement (not cheap); -- cv axle assembly; -- steering wheel rack & pinion; -- steering wheel cooling devise; -- water pump; -- and at 102 k reverse would not work resulting in rebuilding (not cheap). With such problems I would say this was not a good van. (Anyone: Is this normal for a pleasure van?) JJR

Great used car

Really enjoying this vehicle. It's been very reliable and is in great shape for a vehicle with 120,000 miles on it.

Well built van this van is new 2016

The Caravan is the easiest and safest vehicle I have ever owned. Easy access to and from the van for people with disabilities and Seniors. The seats are very comfortable along with the movable arm rests. The open back when the seats are lowered really gives a great advantage for walkers and wheelchairs that don't have to be closed.

I luv my 06 caravan

This is our 3rd caravan first two were 2005 models but in 06 lots of interour changes were made.the cluster has Rpm Gauge fronts seats are way nicer with adjustable head rests power rear windows door panels have pockets and are bigger . My 2005 had 280,000 kms and drove like new still sold it to upgrade to lower km van.I have driven all of them very hard through the mountain passes on steep Hills and never have had an issue.the fuel milage on hwy driving is amazing.only thing I hate about these vans is not enough vents in back for rear passengers.my son got heat stroke last summer the ac only keeps front people some what cold but in the back its still hot. The engineers should have thought this out a little bit better .other then that luv it and will drive it into the ground.hope this helped!
