Pros

Family reasons

Cons

No real power in the engine

Great For Transportion Of Large Groups W/ Being A Bus But Nothing Else — It sucks in everything except for transporting kids to soccer or friends to a party. Okay in gas mileage but wouldn't take to long trips. It has very little power and not much styling on the inside. If you are going to buy a Dodge caravan buy the 2009 model.

Pros

I like it because I can fit my family of four and my sister in-laws family of three in it.

Cons

It doesn't have a hitch to hail a tent trailer for camping

It Is Very Good Family Car. It Drives Great, I Just Love It Because It Finds Lots In It. — The brakes on are really nice, it is a easy stop and go, the handling is awesome, it isn't too pricey or to cheap either. It is a really fun car to drive, I love that it has two sliding doors, so the kids don't have to climb over each other getting in or out. I love the interior and exterior, because the kids can't do to much damage to it.

Me New Wheels!! — I was skeptical about owing a VAN....let's face it, i'm not in the Family mode where i have to transport 8 kids on a daily basis! But after taking these wheels for a test spin....all i can say is WOW!! I'm impressed! Does it ever drive NICE!! And LOTS of power thanks to the 6 banger under the hood. I'm used to my little 4 banger....WHAT a difference!! Getting that "pushed towards the back seat" feeling when u step on the gas.....brings back memories of the old days when I bombed around in high power V-8's!! i JUST LOVE IT!!!

All-in-wonder Car. — Great vehicle. Comfortable, versatle and the AWD makes it remarkable in the snow. Love this car. The power sliders and lftgate are terrific. Wish you could get AWD in the new ones...otherwise I'll keep this one. 5 1/2 happy years and counting.

Kids are seperated by bucket seats YEA!!

Cons

GAS! GAS! GAS!

We Love It — Great family car! Kids love it, because of the bucket seats. It has four doors, however the kids still climb though from one side or the other. Has a roof rack, my husband won't let me ride on it thought. Said something about it not be legal. It just looks like lots of fun!!!

Why Buying A New Car Isn't All It's Cracked Up To Be. — This is my third Grand Caravan. I loved the first two, which I got used. This was my very first new car. Unlike the other two, this one gets terrible gas mileage, has had more mechanical trouble, is more cramped, and it's harder to see out the back. It's also harder to handle on curvy roads and doesn't accelerate well. I won't buy another one. But it is VERY, VERY RED! And the leather seats are comfy, the dash is set up well, and I love the stereo controls on the back of the steering wheel.

Great Car! Never Any Issues With Good Maintenance Routine. — As long as you keep up with good maintenance this van will go far. I currently have over 170k miles on it and it is still trucking. Never any major part failures. Just the normal stuff(i.e brakes, battery, and oil).

Looks good for a minivan.  Comfortable, quiet ride.  Great on road trips.  Handles well for a minvan, pretty good acceleration.  Sound system is good.  Rear air is great!

Cons

Gas mileage isn't great, but it is a heavy V6 minivan.

It's Been A Comfortable, Reliable Vehicle. Very Few Problems. — Pros and cons above pretty well sum it up. This is the 4th Chrysler minivan we've owned over the past 24 years, and it's been a good one. The kids are grown now, and we no longer need a vehicle this big.

Pros

I love this van for many reasons, but 2 specific ones are for the AWD and adjustable pedals because I have very short legs and now I don't have to sit scrunched up against the steering wheel. It is so comfortable to drive; I have driven it for 20 hours straight several times and not felt uncomfortable at all. It has all the bells & whistles I ever wanted.

Cons

Only negative is local driving gas mileage could b better, but it is 8 years old.

Love It! — It is a shame Chrysler/Dodge stopped making an AWD van in 2004 or 2005, but since that is what I needed I ended up buying two used 2003's and they have both been great! I wish more vehicles were available with adjustable pedals! I have trouble finding any other vehicle that allows me to reach the pedals comfortably.
