Used Dodge Grand Caravan for Sale near Brooksville, FL
I'm too sexy for my car, so sexy by far...Once again setting the bar high for minivans, Motor Trend's Car of the Year, the 1996 Grand Caravan, revealed a new sleeker, rounder design in place of the boxed-off previous minivan of yore. A larger windshield, sloping roof lines, and wrapound headlights gave owners something to show off as they transported screaming kids to various sporting events.
In 1996, the chassis was redesigned to provide better stability with less noise and shuddering, and it seems to have worked. Inside, the biggest innovation was the introduction of rear seat rollers, to make them easier to remove, a common complaint among previous Grand Caravan owners. As in previous years, the 1996 Grand Caravan offered a first for minivans, by offering the optional second sliding door on the driver's side. That, combined with the low step-in height, made for easier entry and exit. There were probably more cupholders added this year as well, but it's easy to lose count.
Owners responded well to the changes, praising the better interior functionality along with the smoother ride and the responsive driving experience. One thing Dodge didn't seem to address in its 1996 Grand Caravan was the repair record, most notably the transmission headaches that have plagued the number one minivan in America.
4 Overall rating
(7 reviews)Performance: Decent, nothing special, but I don't need more. Build Quality: Interior and Exterior are holding up really well for a 13 year old van. Haven't had to do anything major to it, just basic maintanance stuff, and it's got 165k on it. Appearance: I don't look away from it in the parking lot, ha ha. It's a minivan, but at least has alloy wheels... Cost of Ownership: gets around 16-18 MPG in town and 22-24 highway. Maintenance is pretty cheap as I do it all myself, although changing spark plugs, fuel filter, and air filter is a little bit of a pain. Fun Factor: it's a minivan, so not really all that fun to drive, but it's way better than my 99 corolla for long road trips, and love to have the extra room too.
i like this car, cuz it has room, but its falling apart. the windshield is cracked, leaky door seals, both back doors are stuck shut cuz the locks are screwed up....its pretty slow...the color aint that amazing its a green color. Good amount of room....my kids like this van ..but i want something newer!
Will a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan will it interchange with 2011 Dodge Caravan CV axle
Really? C'mon. It's a van. Not a sweet 60's Volks van, but a mid-nineties "grand" van. Acceleration was to be expected from a faded plum... thing, but I did like how it handled. MANY repairs needed, especially the brakes. Appearance, well... I think we all have an understanding about this topic. Gas mileage wasn't all that great, but dangit that thing could hold a lot of junk!
cracked windshield, lotta miles, just bored of it! it is slow sometimes...great space for kids, and nice seats. I bought this van for 300 dollars. Ended up buying a transmission for 300. Nice van, been driven a lot, kids have room for a lot of toys and cups or their feet!
