Spacious interior

I have owned several vans. All were GM but they quit making them. I then got a Ford and it nicked and dimmed me to death. So I checked out Town and Country but they were too expensive and smaller inside. I bought the Grand Caravan. I have horses and use the van to get big bags of horse food and shavings, and lumber for repairs. I also use it as a normal vehicle and it is comfy and drives nicely.

One of the biggest mistakes of my life

I wish I never baught the dodge caravan. Everything has went wrong. From the windows to the doors to the constant reporgraming that can cause an accident, to the AC being so loud I cant hear the raideo and so much more. This has costed me thousands. My husbands Toyota has needed no work and is 4 years older. There were a few recalls on the Toyota so I never had to worry. Dodge recalls noting and you end up paying ridiculous prices to repair. I deeply regret buying it. The valeue went down so fast that I can't trade it in without being in a large amount of debt. I hate you dodge and will never buy another dodge again!

My second Dodge Caravan

It is a great van for the money. I can fold the seats down into the floor and have a completely flat surface or pop one up for a third passenger and still have a lot of cargo space.

Regrets

I like the vehicle very much when it is not in the shop. It looks nice and is comfortable, but it is so unreliable that in the 6 months i have owed it I hae had to have it towed twice. Now $1800 worth of repairs, new wiring and a new alternator later. I have lost confidence in it. I am worried to drive it for fear of when it will leave me stranded again. I bought it used and was told it was in perfect condition, and it had a clean carfax and good maintenance record.

Great people mover

I?m really happy with it, the stow and go makes it very versatile and it looks good (for a minivan). I?m at 100k miles with no major issues.

I love this car.

I was againist getting a mini van. I wanted am SUV so bad. But after test driving it and seeing all the room I had to put things. I was so so happy to get it. I got 3 kids, grocery, coupon shopping and still have room. I recently was able to fold down all the seats and get a stand up freezer in there.

Classy American Minivan

Very reliable car and pretty good life endurance . If you need a lot of space for less money - this is it. Could be better sufficiency but it compensate by low price
