What owners say
"Overall, owners appreciate the Dodge Caravan for its reliability, comfort, and spaciousness, making it a great choice for families. Many reviewers enjoyed the smooth ride and the ability to customize the seating and cargo space. However, some expressed concerns about issues like the main belt breakdown and transmission problems, which could deter potential buyers."
This van has it all: convenience, performance , space and good looks. I am pleasantly surprised at it's reliability, since Consumer Reports seems to rate this as a mediocre "grocery getter". It is the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned.
January 13, 2008An over all good vehicle. Solid performance for the task at hand. Plenty of room for 8 passengers, or you can remove the rear seats for additional space to haul larger items or to make a work truck out of this vehicle.
October 28, 2013We have owned this van for 5 years and put 80,000 miles on it. It starts every time, runs beautifully and averages 21mpg in all driving conditions. We have hauled the basketball, baseball and soccer team all over Louisiana. All 7 passengers are) comfortable. The van is quiet and solid. The V-6 is smooth and powerful.It has been in the shop only twice, once to change out the transmission computer module ($600) and the A/C condensor (under the dash-$1177) No other repairs.

October 7, 2007Style, handling, overall feel are all real good. Lots of passenger and cargo space, including roof rack. Removable seats allow you to tailor your passenger and cargo space to your personal needs. I also like the storage drawer and console space.
