Very roomy. Has a new battery and a new starter. Gets great gas mileage.
I love being able to carry lots of stuff in the back of the van. It has only two seats, which is quite convenient for us.
accountCircle Brandon D
Nothing much except it's the fastest car and best mileage
No I love my vehicle it's the best car it drives well

I call it "people crazy" so when people ask "what do you drive?".
I have no performance problems, despite the age of the vehicle. I enjoy the space inside, it is a seven passenger and comfortably holds my family of six. This van is very reliable, we have had no issues. I like the dual heating/air conditioning system, it is great in our severe temperature climate. We have plenty of trunk space, too.

It is a great for a big family to ride.
Good power engine, comforts like a/c, good seats, lower chassis so it is not as top heavy as other vans...
accountCircle Wendy S
Lots of leg space and room for everyone.
It is an older model but still runs very well for all the miles we have on it. I like that we can take our kids and grandkids with us at once. It has plenty of legroom and space in the back for items needed. I like that it has a rack on top if we need more space. It does great on long trips.

Dodge caravan, one class act.
I bought my 2000 Dodge caravan used last year. It is a four cylinder automatic and so far has been a very reliable vehicle. It has very good pull uphill for a four cylinder and nice cold air. I would not be afraid to try to take it on a long trip. I've always thought Dodge and Plymouth were really well made vehicles.

It's not just for big families - it's a great vehicle for anyone that needs to haul things on a consistent basis.
I like the cargo space. The roomy seating is great. Love that it sits up higher.
accountCircle Kimberly B
It is comfortable to ride in.
I love the comfort of the ride in my Minivan. Lots of room for passengers. Does great on gas mileage as well. I love having room for groceries or carrying large items without needing a truck or suv.

Great Family Vehicle Good gas mileage for a bigger vehicle
I love it, yet! The air conditioning system didn't work. Other than that, mechanically it was AMAZING. Decent gas mileage. Tuneup was a breeze
accountCircle Marvin A
It is not very good on gas.
It is an older model and I am having to do a lot of minor repairs to it now that it is older and I would just prefer something newer and better.
accountCircle Alejandro L
This specific year make and model in my opinions is not reliable at all.
The car has begun to be an endless money pit in repairs. I've had the engine rebuilt, the A.C. Fixed and the van has continual electrical problems.
accountCircle Molly E
Memories made in the car are worth more than the actual car.
Transmission is shot. No air conditioning. Comfy seats because they're not leather. Power windows are kind of faulty.

A brief look at the basic pros and cons of a 2000 dodge caravan.
Well I drive an old dodge caravan. It could be better but it is not that bad I suppose. I believe the downside of it is that it is prone to many electric issues. And the air conditioning compressor needs maintenance often. However, it is a pretty tough vehicle able to take extreme weather easily.
accountCircle Julia R
Good for families until it breaks down and you don't know what's wrong
The car was running fine and got my whole family to Texas and back a couple of years ago. However when it was gifted to me, it started to break down and now I feel kind of unsafe in it.
accountCircle Misty S
My first and last Dodge caravan.
I don't like how it don't like have the stow n go seats like some vans. It also don't have no repair like most vans. The sliding door windows don't go down. It is really good on gas. I do like that part. Plus it don't use no oil hardly. Be nice if the spare tire was easier to get to.
accountCircle Elaine E
It rides great lots of room for traveling, good gas mileage.
I like it, its runs great haven't had that much problems out of it, plenty of room for my grandkids for traveling for long trips.

Family vehicle comfort with plenty of legroom.
My dodge caravan is a great vehicle. It is very dependable, reliable & a comfort to drive. It has a heater, air conditioning & cruise control. It also has am FM radio, CD player with pause button. The only problem I have is the headliner is starting to come down. Other than that I'd highly recommend it!
