Owner Reviews
I think the one most important thing about my vehicle is that it is dependable. I would not be afraid to drive my van across country.
I love my minivan! I bought it used in 2009 and it has proved to be a very dependable vehicle. It has nearly 195,000 miles on it and runs like a charm. We do change the oil regularly though. It has a small oil leak around the oil pan that I plan to get fixed I just haven't had the money. Other than the oil leak, no problems. The body is in very good condition and the interior as well. I keep it pretty clean. It looks newer than it actually is. It has an AM/FM/CD/Cassette player. They all work I think. I haven't played a cassette in it in years. The seats are cloth and I don't believe they have any stains, tears, or thin spots. The floor might a few small spots but is still very clean for the age of the van. The seats are comfortable too. All the seats fold away into the floor. I usually keep one seat folded down just so there is extra storage room in the back for groceries or luggage or whatever. If all the seats are folded down a full size mattress will fit in the back.
Our Dodge caravan "Martha" is a blessing each day.
Problems include auto window repeatedly not working and needing repair. However when I had two small children in car seats and a teen I simply could not have survived without my van. It was a gift from the heavens indeed. As the kids got older it continued to provide all we needed in daily life and activities as well as travel and daily outings giving everyone enough space and freedom to be happy and travel safely and the driver me a peaceful experience also which is always important to arrive and return safely and free from undue stress etc.. All over this van has been a trouper always reliable and gets us there and back every time. Even with 150000 miles she is still going strong and so are the kids and myself as well. Highly recommend Dodge caravan to all with families and busy active lives and great places to explore.
2006 Dodge grand caravan.
I like that it had a lot of space-seating and storage. There are 6 passenger seats, and all of the rear seats fold down to allow for storage space. I can fit an amazing amount if things in the back-whether I am shopping or hauling stuff to donate. I also like all of the cubby's and pockets-built in to the sides and back of seats. My kids really like the built in dual DVD player-that has wireless headphones. The back-up sensor is very helpful also. There is lots of adjustments that can made on the drivers seat-back, forward, up, down and tilts front or back. I feel like it gets decent fuel mileage-around 15 per mile. Over all this is a good vehicle.
