1993 Dodge Grand Caravan 3 Dr ES AWD Passenger Van Extended

Not many look at a minivan and think "rugged," but the Grand Caravan ES AWD adds a bit of that personality to the luxury and creature comforts (think dual air conditioning and cupholders) that characterizes this top-line performance model.

The 3.3-liter V6 might be the same as the SE and LE AWD trims, but standard features such as a tachomoter, trip computer, alloy wheels, and foglights add pizzazz.  And the AWD gives owners the option of taking it out of suburbia and into the wild.  Drivers' biggest complaints are maintenance and transmission repairs, but the comfort and ease of handling, along with all the cargo space seems to outweigh the problems for many.
