Easy and fun reliable minivan.

I love the handling of our 2006 dodge grand caravan sxt, although it is somewhat big it is very easy to maneuver and accelerates from 0 quite fast.. It has power doors which help when you have little ones. This vehicle has two charging ports, power driver seat, power windows. I love how this minivan looks, and I love the color that we got, blue green. This vehicle seats seven although with car seats, it can realistically only seat 6. The back(trunk) has lots of room, can fit two full size stroller, plus lots more. It is very quiet and smooth. We've had two major repairs, radiator leak and engine leak at 10 and 12 years after model year.

It was a gift from God through the kindness and generosity of some very special friends.

I just got it about a month ago and I have found that it is reliable and meets my needs. It's a 2004 but the survey only went as far as 2006. There is rust and corrosion on the sides in front of both back tires and I noticed that this seems to be the case of other vehicles - same make, model and year - that I see on the road. There is also a slightly musty smell inside the vehicle, one of the side doors doesn't open automatically anymore, and the rear AC doesn't work either. None of this is a major issue to me. She has over 196,000 miles on her, so as long as she keeps running to get us around town, I'm happy.

I have owned 7 grand caravans.

I am not a fan of minivans but owned several for a job that required it. Of all the makes and models I have owned I had the best luck with the Dodge grand caravan (have owed 7 of them). Engines have always been good with regular oil changes. Transmission issues have generally been contributed to its computer or solenoids. With general upkeep and maintenance I have gotten over 400,000 on 2 of the vans and well over 200,000 on the others. I would definitely recommend the grand caravan to anyone in the market for a minivan.
