I've had a 2007 Caravan that I drove for 7 years then sold still running well. Then bought a 2009 Grand Caravan that had a couple of minor electrical issues and sold it still running 2 years ago. Just bought another Grand Caravan (a 2014) and I'm hoping to get as much out of it as the others. Cargo space : Awesome, you can get 4x8 sheets of plywood in the back with the Stow N Go down and unlike a pick up your load stays dry. Not super but not bad on fuel. A Fairly comfy ride for around town and on trips but it's build more for family to-and-fros. I hear some folks complaining about transmissions but if you follow the recommended trans fluid and filter changes and don't try to haul anything too heavy you should be ok. I've never had an issue with any CG trans. If you're buying used and want to be sure - avoid any with hitches already on them or obviously had them on at some point. Bottom line for me - great vehicle, fits a tight budget, lasts without constant repairs, very utilitarian, useful investment. Too bad they don't make them anymore.

I bought my caravan thinking it was a great vehicle. Wrong! 3 transmissions in 3 years! Hub bearings, calipers, lifter rocker arms, rear wiper stopped working, bad rattling under the dash. This piece of crap is the worst vehicle I've EVER owned. In 3 yrs I've put $9500.00 in it just to keep it running. JUNK!

I bought this vehicle not knowing that there is a serious transmission problem that comes with these vehicles. A flaw in the faulty mechanics of the 2014 Dodge Grand-caravan along with other Dodge Grand-Caravan models and they are still selling them to people knowing that they have this problem.
