It's What It Seems To Be — It's a minivan. It's solid, you can put a lot of kids and cargo in it, the seats fold down. After 2 years and 25K, we haven't had to repair anything. In real life, driving fast, we get 22 MPG highway and 18 city, which is better than I expected.

Great Van — It had a DVD and it was a very reliable car. It protected me in a head on crash.

Very Comfortable, And Quiet. — Awesome family car. Power liftgate and auto doors very nice for loading/unloading Sliding doors makes entry/exit easy in tight parking situations. Stow and go seating makes the interior very versatile. Fuel economy does quite well for a vehicle of this cargo capacity.

Great Family Vehicle — Reliable and roomy vehicle for long rides. handles well even trailering but not in the corners (it is a van) withiin 5 years things are starting to go wrong. Door locks not working and cd doesn't work. Reasonable gas mileage for the cargo/towing capacity.

Long Trips With Large Family Can Not Be Beat. — I have always loved the room. I used the van to build-out my basement and deck. It is the only vehicle I know of that can haul 4'x8' drywall without it getting wet. handles smoothly. Gas mileage for moving 7 people is great.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

They Need To Get This Vehicle Up To Spec With Other Manufactures Quality. — I love the stow n go seats, the way it handles. I have the 3.8L. Way too many mechanical problems for an auto with only 60K miles. Brake wear is fast on this....bad design. Also, the moldings on the inside are delicate. The hood is rusting through.

Dodge Grand Caravan — Nice comfortable ride. Jamie loves the built in DVD player with 7" screen. The video input jacks allows him to play the Playstation on long trips. So it's great entertainment when traveling. I like the dark blue color. I wish it had the 4.0L V6 instead of the 3.3L V6.
