Nice, roomy vehicle that suits my large family well.
The vehicle is comfortable and reliable. The size of tires are not available in very durable options so if you drive a rough road this vehicle is not for you. There is a lot of space for passengers and cargo in the back. The stow and go feature is very nice.

Do not buy dodge, they do not stand behind their vehicles.
The transmission needed to be replaced with only 28k miles. Even though it was 7 yrs old, use, not time kills a transmission and dodge wouldn't take any responsibility. Had to replace an engine mount within the first couple of years and the first time I actually used the vehicle, the a/c went out. It handles fine and mileage, 18-20 mpg is much better than my full sized van, but I will never own a dodge again.

My favorite detail of the van is the storage compartment on the floor.
I really love how spacious the vehicle is. All the children fit very comfortability and there is plenty of room for bag, suitcases and strollers also. Going in vacation is no longer an issue because of how dependable the vehicle is. It is amazing how smooth the van drives!

I love my dodge grand caravan minivan!
The only problems I have had with my vehicle is the air conditioning quits on me every year and I have to get it fixed. Other than that it is very comfortable, reliable and roomy. We took it on a 19 hour trip to Disney world and it was an amazing ride!

Great family car for the family with small children.
It's great on fuel mileage, the stow and go seats are great with car seats and temperature controls. I especially love that all the windows roll down and the back ones vent open instead of one feature or the other like most vehicle options. The steering and traction control is great in the winter.

Great space and heating system.
The van is a very comfortable fit, the large capacity is not just good for transporting multiple people but also for transporting large amounts of gear, which is very useful for my freelance landscaping. The way the heating system flows through the vehicle is great in the winter as well.

Great car for large family!
We love our grand caravan! It has been a very reliable vehicle. We've had to do the basic repairs of brakes and tires, but other than that it is been very good. The only time we've had any trouble is with the automatic sliding doors. I have had the same problems with other minivans — but they do tend to freeze if the car is left outside and there is bad snow/weather conditions. Other than that it handles very well in snow. We live in the Chicago area and it is been great for four years! We have four kids who are rough on it and it still looks in great condition (when we get it vacuumed out!).

Heated mirrors. Automotive. Great gas mileage. Dependable in winter. Great storage.
It has lots of room for kids lot of storage. Easy to store set to make lot of room for big items or lot of little things great gas mileage in town you get 13.4 mpg. Makes easier to heal kids around seats are fabric. Heated mirrors self adjustable seats. Automatic. Has cruise control.

Family vacation vehicle. Comfortable ride.
Had to replace alternator 3 times. Hands free connectivity buttons are visible but do not work which is misleading. Middle captain chairs are not easily folded into and out of cargo bins. Love all of the cargo space for family vacations. 3rd row seating is not very comfortable.
Heather H
on April 2, 2021
The versatility of this vehicle is unparalleled.
I absolutely love the versatility of the Grand Caravan. It has more interior space for transporting large items than we can fit in my old truck. The stow and go seating/compartments are invaluable. Perfect for quick changing between cargo and passengers.

The Dodge Caravan has been a good vehicle for us. The Stow and Go option is great.
The Dodge Caravan has been a pretty reliable vehicle. The only major problem we have had so far is the transmission, but the factory warranty covered the repairs needed.
Sarah T

It's been a pretty reliable car as well as comfortable and convenient for my family
I really love the space in this van. It has stow and go seats which are very convenient. The windows go down in the back seat as well.

Great gas mileage, I drove to New Hampshire from Rhode Island and spent a week there did not need to fill up until the way back .
I love my Mini van the storage space and gas mileage are incredible. However there are a few major issues that are known to dodge and not covered under any warranty or recalls. The TIPM Total power integration module is failing on many of these vans and other dodge cars.
Carmen B
on March 8, 2021
Reliable but does fall apart after a while.
My van has always been very reliable but BC my current work requires me to drive I have really worn it out. It is got around 162,000 miles and it is started having problems with the transmission and a/c. I have also had to replace the “brain” of the car which was $1,000.
Jill P
on March 6, 2021
Practical vehicle, great for families.
Reliable vehicle that is great for the families. Does not have the bells and whistles of other minivans, but it is more affordable. Love the stow and go seats and automatic doors. We’ve had a few small electrical issues that were easily repaired. Running great at 125,000+ miles.

2011 Dodge grand caravan crew.
Have had no problems except for normal wear and tear. It's a pretty reliable car. Very comfortable and large enough to fit a big family. Love the navigation, satellite radio, DVD player, and climate controls. The automatic doors are a huge plus for me as I have children that need to be carried.

It is an accessible van for wheelchair users
It is a modified van so it has a ramp, zero effort steering, hand controls and more. I wish it had a sunroof.
Amber C
on February 20, 2021
I like how smoothly it drives. I don't like that it shuts off sometimes while I'm driving. Other than that, it has been a pretty good vehicle.
It shuts off sometimes while you're driving and the manufacturer has no idea why and won't fix it.
Jayne D
on February 16, 2021
Stow & go seating is the best!
I love my van. I love the stow & go seats, they fold into the floor so you have lots of room. The only problem I have had is with the brake calipers, they stick & I had to replace them all. Otherwise it is very reliable. I use it for the craft shows I sell at.
Sonya H
on February 12, 2021
There is plenty of room for a family and it is very reliable.
My van is roomy with seating for 7. It has a DVD player with a remote. Backup camera is amazing. The seats all fold down, making it easy to haul large items. The brakes wear out very quickly on this vehicle. We have to change them about every 6 months, and I only drive around my town. So not a lot of highway miles/ right now we are having a transmission problem that apparently came from the eco mode feature. I was told not to run the van in eco mode all the time, because it can cause transmission problems. It has had a few recalls, but nothing major. Overall I would say it is a good vehicle, and I would recommend it to other consumers.
Susan M
on February 1, 2021
It really is a great vehicle and very diverse. I'm always able to transport whatever I need.
I am happy with the size and performance of my van. If course, as a larger vehicle, it is more costly to fill the gas tank, but pros outweigh cons in my opinion.
Cameron G
on January 26, 2021
Overall the 2011 dodge grand caravan is a very nice reliable vehicle to own.
My 2011 dodge grand caravan is actually a very reliable vehicle. It has many safety features that I love including many early warning signs that let you know when something is not quite right before you start having any real mechanical problems. My only real complaint is that it is a very expensive vehicle to fix.
Lauren A
on January 25, 2021
My favorite thing about the car is the automatic door that closes the trunk.
I absolutely love my Dodge Grand Caravan! It's super roomy for my family of 5 and a great car for us to grow with. It's got the automatic doors which is awesome to get my little ones in and out. It's got the back up camera that helps me make sure I'm not running over any toys.
Frank P
on January 22, 2021
More positive than negative. A Lot of extras because it was a sto go van.
I bought used and had a lot of trouble with it. Air conditioner cable to the alternator, replaced two batteries, tires, a recall, it's a nice running van, comfortable, not bad mileage, good storage area, not high enough to make it into a handicapped van for a wheelchair. I like the u-connect which I will get in all cars I get. Nice heavy van holds the road good.
Heather E
on January 18, 2021
My van is roomy which is good for kids and car seats. I like that the side doors slide open when you push a button and the trunk opens by a button too. I wish it were AWD or 4WD for the winter time.
This van is Great for families- roomy and comfortable ride!
Kelsey M
on January 12, 2021
Easily fixed and quickly back on the road.
One of the main issues I have experienced is with the starter. We have had to replace it twice since purchasing the vehicle. We have also had to replace the battery and the alternator. Recently, I had an issue where the vehicle would not start at all. There was no turn over, no click, no dash lights came, and the key fob was stuck in the ignition. In addition, there was a ticking noise coming from the fuse box. I replaced the run/start relay which was faulty, then I got the car jump started. I haven't run into any issues since then. The best thing about this car is that once we fix an issue, the car is back on the road quickly. Overall, it has been a reliable vehicle considering how long my family has been using it for.
Rashud G
on January 12, 2021
Great for the soccer mom(dad).
Holds 7 people, drives nice, comfortable; problems -same as any other vehicle would have. Wife loves it because it has enough room for her to do all of her shopping. Racks on the roof to tie things down if needed. There is a recall on it right now, some wire behind the steering wheel needs to be fixed.
Andrea M
on January 7, 2021
That the van is great for larger families. Storage and space are great for travel.
I enjoy all the features such as automatic start and keyless entry and heated seats. I dislike the look, it's very boxy. As well as small back up camera.
Krista M
on January 1, 2021
Fantastic family vehicle!
We got it used with only one owner and we love it. Automatic doors, two TVs, stow and go. It is amazing for my family. Enough room for all of us and everything we need huge trunk and rear view camera. This is the best vehicle I've ever owned. The most convenient best thing I've had. Super fancy!

2011 dodge grand caravan - trustworthy and reliable!
I have owned this vehicle for approximately 4 years now and I love it! It is been very reliable and has needed little repairs asides from general maintenance such as brakes, tires, oil change, etc. I have taken it on many vacations to the Adirondacks, North Carolina, Maine, etc. It is been a trooper and is still doing amazing after all of the daily use/traveling I have done with it. The vehicle is comfortable to drive and is fairly smooth/quiet even after all of the miles I have put on it. Note: I am up to about 140,000 miles and still going. This vehicle is solid, well built and I love it. I am expecting to get 200,000+ miles on it by the time I have to retire her, which will be a sad day!

Safety
When going up hill loses power or if you let off gas on interstate will not acceleration until it decides to. Almost got hit by a truck because no speed when pushe'd accelerator.

It is a reliable car. When I was in an accident, I felt protected.
Seats fold down and I can haul tons of stuff.... Has CD player with headsets for grandkids.... Its blue and I hate black, red, white cars.

Fantastic family vehicle, comfortable to drive.
We purchased the van used last year. The size of the vehicle is perfect for our family. I enjoy the 'sto-and go seating', by this I mean the seats fold down into a compartment in the floor. This gives me the opportunity to easily transport groceries or furniture. The sliding doors on the sides and captain chairs in the middle offer the best seating arrangement. The van is extremely comfortable to drive. The only complaint is that there is a problem with the stock radio with this model and it just stops allowing for am/FM, whereas the satellite radio works fine.. Overall I couldn't have been happier with the choice.

The grand caravan is a 7 seater and is big and comfortable. It has a problem on the tire and also the breaks are running out as well.

Good on gas miles. Big enough for a big family.
I really do not have any problems with my car. It is a good running car. It gets me everywhere that I need to get to. It is big enough for my family. It does really good on gas. This car is worth getting and I would tell anyone to get one just like it.
Shan E
on December 9, 2020
Great choice for a family vehicle
Every car will eventually need repairs, but with regular maintenance you can get many worry free years out of this van. The added features like power side doors and power gate make it great for families and the comforts like reclining rear bucket and reclining rear bench seats make it great for road trips.
Brooke S
on December 7, 2020
Red van named Ariel, can fit a mattress inside.
It is a very good drive and has lots of space. It lasts a long time and is good for long drives. It is not as fuel efficient for short drives and I have recently had battery issues but would only really have to say it is not as fuel efficient as most.
Jourdan B
on December 6, 2020
Incredibly roomy minivan.
The performance is great. I do not always get the best gas mileage but it is very roomy. I like it because I can put the seats down and load it to go camping or move things. The seats are comfortable. It gets me from point a to point b. I enjoy the digital screen.
Margaret M
on December 4, 2020
Great storage and comfortable ride.
I like the good performance . It has comfortable seats and easy to get around. Third seat is easy to access. It has lots of storage space. It has good legroom . Easy to maneuver handles well . Would buy another for traveling with kids. Low gas mileage . Great for kids and traveling.
Jordan M
on November 30, 2020
A great family car with a lot of storage space, decent fuel economy.
Has a lot of drift when driving on wet roads, also has a very limited turning radius which makes it difficult to park in smaller spaces. The seats are fairly comfortable, but the armrests are a little gaudy. I do like that the ac has always worked well, even when temperatures exceed double digits during the summer time.
Michelle H
on November 25, 2020
It has low mileage and is roomy
Other than routine maintenance I have not experienced any problems with my vehicle. I've replaced the battery and tires and get the oil changed on a regular basis. It is good on mileage and great for over the road trips. It is roomy inside and fits 7 passengers comfortably
Jan K
on November 20, 2020
Fairly good van and haven't had a lot of problems yet.
Getting the extended warranty helps. I had my headlights out and it was covered under the warranty. It is really comfortable and I like that you are high up, not like I am a car that you can not get out of. Has lots of storage space and has a lot of good features.
Melanie H
on November 17, 2020
It is a great family vehicle that allows lots of space for you and your children. The middle seats can be folded completely into the floor leaving lots of room for carrying stuff.
I like that it has side doors that slide open with the push of a button. I like that it has a radio that is easier to use to change the channel. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a trunk button to open or close it.
Paul Jones

I will never recommend a minivan because you don't gain anything that's not in a larger suv. Same price
It's a minivan. I like the sliding doors and gas mileage. I hate the storage room

Spacious, reliable vehicle!
My dodge grand caravan has been a very reliable vehicle. It is a comfortable ride and gets good gas mileage. The stow-away seats are a great feature on this vehicle. We use the spacious back end to haul large items to and fro from a small business we operate. It can fit a full sheet of 4' x 8' plywood and many other large items. The vehicle has been very reliable as oil changes and new tires have been the primary maintenance.
Sherry K
on November 9, 2020
Dependability of the grand caravan.
My minivan is a 2011 so 9 years old. I have only had to do basic maintenance on it other than the fuel pump going out once. It starts every time, it gives me good gas mileage. The seats fold all the way so I can haul a lot of stuff. It rides smooth. I love that it has several USB plugs so I can plug in my phone, my blanket, my tablet at the same time.
Cody H
on November 3, 2020
Love the TV In the back for the kids and the automatic side doors.
We have had a lot of great memories in our van, from growing our family, to taking long road trips, it has been reliable and very comfortable. The only issues we have encountered besides normal wear and tear is the control module, we have had different issues with fuses shorting out and sensors giving false readings at times.
Kimberly F
on October 27, 2020
So much space! Dodge grand caravans are the way to go!
I have had issues with my transmission and tires. They are forever having problems! But it is so spacious that I cannot imagine having any other vehicle. It is wonderful for big families that require a lot of space. I have three kids and they have more space than they could ever need. Additionally it makes my larger food shops a lot easier due to the trunk space and versatility of the third row seating.

GPS will be good and stereo.
Dodge caravan is very special for family I love no problem electric or any gas is very good I put 45 dollars a week I recommend I have 3 year wich and no electric problem the car running good the set is very nice my son love the car. I will get and other dodge caravan next year. I love white color or black.

Practical, convenient, affordable, reliable.
This vehicle is both practical and convenient. Good for transporting bulky items such as furniture with the back 2 rows of seats folded down. Also good for daily tasks such as getting groceries. It fits seven people comfortably and has been reliable for years to me and my family.
Cheyenne W

Happy driver of a grand caravan.
I haven't had any problems with my vehicle, beyond typical maintenance that would be necessary on any vehicle. I love all the space and seating. I can easily fit my 3 kids in car seats and up to 2 more people, including myself, and still have lots of room for our things. It is easy to load and unload. This vehicle is great for everyday errands as well as road trips. It is driver friendly. I like the amenities. I like the look of the vehicle.

Very spacious and comfortably.
This is a very spacious vehicle. It has stow and go seats. Will sit 7 comfortable. I can also carry lots of things in it. I tr s mostly used to haul grandkids. Love that the back windows roll down so kids can see out of them. This is the second vehicle of this kind I have had. Would recommend this vehicle to a family with kids. I absolutely love this vehicle.
Bethany W
on September 13, 2020
Amazing! And will definitely buy again if ever needing too!
Love how high the seat sits on the ground. Love the 4 doors in each side and the hot keys up front to control the back doors. The heated side mirrors which are also electric are wonderful. I absolutely love the fold down seats and the option to have one seat up and the rest of the van open, or having 2 seats up but still the back. Or having a middle seat up and one side of the back seat and still have a whole side of the van for storage. The gas mileage is also wonderful.
Paige R
on September 9, 2020
Great van, excellent way to get around!
The car has sto-and-go seating which is great when moving stuff from one location to another. Additionally, the car seats up to 7 people which allows for various friends and family members to come along for trips and car rides. The car drives smoothly and has always been a reliable way for my family to get around.
Walter D
on September 4, 2020
Top of the line detail; tune-up should be done by a pro.
The seats are comfortable- the duel temp. Controls make traveling a pleasure= the cargo area is large enough to carry everything needed for camping and fishing- the wheelbase is long enough to provide a very smooth ride- with the recommended maintenance there have been no major repairs needed- the gas mileage is great, 15 to 19 in town, 24 to 27 Hwy,- the back-up camera is a must for all cars.

Dodge grand caravan! Minivan the whole family will love!
I really love my minivan. It is very comfortable to go on long trips. There’s a lot of room and three row seating. It drives really smooth in town and on the highway. The only problem I have really bad is the air conditioning system keeps failing. The factory radio that came with it is really nice.
Laurie D
on August 30, 2020
Grand caravan - more than a van.
We've had to replace the alternator, other than that, this has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. It is safe, sporty and has plenty of room inside for young children’s car seats and boosters. Our has a DVD player that has become a must have for any other vehicle in the future.
Michelle m
on August 23, 2020
The vehicle is noisy while driving and the maintenance on the tires is more than should be needed.
The calipers have to be changed too often. The spare tire fell off while we were driving in a parking lot. This damaged the stow and go seat compartment which will no longer work. The vehicle is noisy going down the road.
Melissa W
on August 16, 2020
Great for large family and road trips!
I bought the car new in 2011. It has been a very reliable vehicle for me and my family. I have 3 children and it has been a great vehicle to buy all of us comfortably along with any sports gear. It was driven to Florida and back with no issues. Just recently had to replace the fuel pump, but I admit that I am not the best when it comes to maintenance on vehicles. Overall, I have enjoyed having this van!
Jayne H

Satisfied dodge caravan owner.
Bought 2011 grand caravan brand new, right out of the showroom - and love all the features. The van is very comfortable to ride and drive. The stow away under the passenger seats are a huge help when traveling. Have had no maintenance issues with the van and are extremely pleased with the vehicle.
Debra M

Fold down seats into the floorboard.
I love the DVD system. I love the heated seats. I love the heated steering wheel. I love the backup camera. I love the radio system and touch screen. I love the voice activated system where I can call hands free and text hands free. I love the captain seats on the second row. I love how all the seats except the front fold down into the floor. It allows me to carry many large things. I have carried dryers, small trees, wood, furniture, and so much more. I like the automatic lift on the back hatch so I can close it with a button. I love that the glove box locks. The only problems I have had is that one of the sliding doors has messed up. I like the lighting in the back top. The top back lighting casing makes noises when it is cold.
Carol T
on July 29, 2020
Best minivan and perfect for families needing a vehicle that makes life easy.
Reliable and low maintenance. Easy to get in and out of. Great for families with children. Would definitely consider getting another one when this one needs to be replaced. The seats are easy to fold down with 1 hand. The automatic doors are my favorite feature. It's perfect for someone who's always on the go with full hands.
Christina D
on July 28, 2020
It is dependable and comfortable.
There has been a couple recalls on my van but I got those taken care off. It is pretty dependable. Definitely comfortable with plenty of room. It has seats that fold into the floor, it is has a DVD player with separate headphones and tinted windows.. I like my van.
Francis M

Overall I like the caravan.
Hate the wiring track system in the automatic sliding doors. Transmission click and clunks I've read it's a common issue. Radio reception is limited at best
Michelle T
on July 14, 2020
Having a minivan vs. An SUV comes down to this. A SUV doesn't really have that much more space than a regular car, in my opinion. In my minivan, i can stand (not upright obviously), but in a pinch, I can change clothes in my car, sleep comfortably, and have a meal in the back comfortably. I definitely plan on getting another minivan.
I love my minivan. I like having all the inside space. I have 2 super little things that I love. One is the light green kind of lighting that comes on in the interior in the evening. It reminds me of airplane lighting,and the second is the regular outlet near the back seat. I use that regularly to charge my phone because the chargers you plug into the cigarette lighter thingy never work for long.

Good vehicle for families with older kids
We bought this two years ago, and other than some issues with the front window motors, we haven't had any big issues with it. We have two kids in car seats, and it works well for us, as well as older kids. It is tight on space when everyone is in the car, but the captains chairs give more room than we would have otherwise.
Sara B
on July 5, 2020
The ideal spacious family van.
Great amount of space, runs great after 9 years and nearly 175,000 miles. Travels well. My only issue is air flow in the back. I enjoy that the chairs fold down into the floor for added space. I enjoy the openness/spaciousness of the vehicle. I have called it my rocket ship because of this. Great amount of legroom and space in between passengers provided as well. Overall great family vehicle.

The dodge grand caravan 2011.
I love dodge, but not vans. I have always owned the Durango. However, with our growing family, 4 children, and one on the way. I was finally convinced by my wife to look into the grand caravan. I am very surprised at how comfortable and smooth it drives. Especially for a 2011. The room that can be provided after folding the seats down is very impressive. Third row seating/w air in the back. Sliding doors both sides. My downfall from a second hand purchase here, I bought this van on the winter. Checked the heater, worked great, summertime is here, no ac. $1,200 fix. Please check the heat and the ac if interested in this vehicle from anyone.

Amazing van! It's a must have.
No problems. I love my van. It has a lot of space for storage. I've drove it all over the place. It's the best vehicle I've had by far. We take it on trips and use it for daily use. It is very spacey in the back for the kids. I would absolutely get another one!!
Mark S

I love the space for hauling and grocery shopping. It is great for road trips with friends. I coach, so it works great for a team, too!
Lisa F
on June 16, 2020
It seems safe. We experience all four seasons and I've never had a problem driving in snow or heavy rain.
I love the electric sliding doors, the auto gate lift. There is so much storage room. The stow n go is a nice feature. It has a DVD player which makes road trips nice. I wish the exterior was a little more cool. It's definitely the ugliest out of all the minivans.
Jade S
on June 11, 2020
The sliding back doors are awesome and I like better than a typical suv for putting kids in the back
I like that it can fit my whole family but I dislike how big and awkward it is. It also seems very outdated.
Beth B
on June 10, 2020
Great overall van! Would purchase again.
Have really likes this van. Have not had any major issues at all. The rear seats could be more comfortable, but overall very happy with it. My van has 140,000 miles on it and would not be surprised to get over 200,000 miles before considering replacing it.

The 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan was a great vehicle for the first maybe two and half years. Then I started getting all types of manufacturing recalls, at least 2-3 a year it seemed like. Next other things started happening or breaking..for instance the side sliding doors wouldn't close because of the black retracting belt kept coming apart(I have returned from many of trips to the store with my van door open)..plus the key fob went out after maybe two years and it would cost about $300 to fix it, so I could not lock it and if I did it would set off the anti-theft system..then the liftgate went out, which means I could no longer push the button to open it up because it would not stay closed.

I like the size of the minivan. The interior is comfortable and spacious. It drives and handles well. I don't like that we've had to replace the brakes far too often. Same with driver's side wiper blade. Didn't have this issue with other vehicles.
There have been multiple recalls. One of which is for the airbags and another is for the window switch.

Everything bad happens one by one in a short period of time.
In the last 6 months the alternator went out, without warning and we needed to replace the tipm. The drivers side sliding door does not always open or close right, it will continuously click then will not latch. The passenger side window does not roll up or down correctly using passenger side buttons.

It has had many problems that had to be addressed in first few years. New Engine, transmission, electrical resets.
The seats are extremely comfortable. We have had a couple of problems with electrical system. I love the DVD player for the kids and ability to have satellite radio. Over 100,000 miles and still going.

It is solid, sturdy and efficient. It does the job I need done.
It has stow and go. I have newborn twins along with a 4 year old. It allows me to maneuver the twins easily in and out of the car better than other minivans. I doesn't have the pick up that the other have, but I am not the kind of guy that needs to go fast.

Big enough for all my family.
I have had many issues with this vehicle since I bought it. Electronic ignition went out, rear doors stopped opening remotely, DVD player stopped working, washer fluid nozzle stopped working, new brakes needed, shocks and struts needed all within a 4 month period. Absolute hell!

It is very convenient for a family with young children to drive.
I would love a newer vehicle, but don't have any issues with my existing one. This has been a reliable family car since we purchased it new.

I like having a van in general. The size for groceries is Handy. As well as driving sitting up higher instead of being in a low car. I dislike the color of silver as everyone has it. It so comment. The blind spot view for me being is bad.
That it an average vehicle in color, style and that a stay at home mother would use.

I love the sound system, the indicators on the side mirrors.
We have had our van for over 4 years. We love traveling in this vehicle. Very roomie, can travel as a family with luggage for 5. We have had no major issue with our van. Normal wear and tear. We do have a small issue with the delay on the windshield wipers.

Eco Button for gas mileage on interstate or highway.
Love our vehicle. Our drivers side window motor is going out and sometime the window won't roll back up right away. And we wish the middle Windows rolled down, but other than that it is a great vehicle. We love the eco button for our road trips.

Lots of space and many storage options. This van is go for hauling.
Right now there is a rattle in my sliding door. I love the space and stow and go. It has leather seats with nice red trim. There is a lot of space in the back for hauling things. The seats fold down in the back and middle to one level surface. The van rides pretty well too.

Just because it is a minivan do not think it is not fast.
What I really like about my car it is great on gas. I like that it has a lot of horsepower. Over all it is a very comfortable. There is really anything I do not like about it.

Roomie for a big family on the go.
My vehicle handles well and has a lot of get up and go son passing is not an issue. The DVD entertains on long trips but I use this vehicle to go back and forth daily without issue. We love the stow and go future as it allows us lots of space when we decide to travel and we can pack more items and still leave the leg room that our sons that are all over 6ft tall. Leg room is crucial and we have it. Also the seats fold up easily making getting into the back seat far easier than crawling over seats..

It gets good gas mileage for what you would think you would get in a minivan
I like the gas mileage it gives. I also like the room that it provides so the whole family can ride together. It is a smooth ride I just wish it had more technology features

Dodge minivan, Grand Caravan
It is a mini van that gets me and my family around. I don't need any bells and whistles at this point. The biggest selling point for me was the stow and go feature. It allows me to put one or all four seats in the back down. I have two infant twins that are hard to get in and out. This feature is life saving and I don't know what I would do without it.

I love the cargo option. The seats can fold down into the floor.
I love my van for my family of 6. Plenty of room for everyone and so far very reliable. The only problem I have had is the power window in the back. Somehow when the door opens and closes it pinches the wire and it broke once already and we couldn't open the window. My husband has since fixed it but I am sure it will happen again.

Dodge Grand Caravan with Stow n' go
The grand caravan has plenty of space for large families, tall people, car seats, pets and is great for travel or everyday errands. The stow n' go makes packing easy and provides much needed stretching room for long trips/vacations. The gas mileage is about average for most vans/SUVs. The ride is smooth, comfy seating, rear heating/ac helps a lot with young children and passengers.

Very family oriented vehicle with lots of room.
It is a very reliable and comfortable ride. DVD system works well. The headsets are a bit easy to break for younger kids. Lots of storage and leg room. On the highway there is a bit of road noise but not as bad as some other vehicles. A very good buy for a big or growing family.
