1999 Dodge Caravan SE review from North America
"One durable, comfortable, well designed van!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Almost nothing!
Starter went out at 135K miles.
Water Pump / belt / belt tensioner was replaced at 138K miles.
General comments?
This van has been a great vehicle!
I have pulled a 2000 lb camper cross country several times and never had any problems. I can't believe the fuel efficiency while pulling the camper. It typically got 22-24 MPG on the highway and with the camper 22 MPG.
Still has the original struts!
The ride is very comfortable.
Steering is a bit slow, but I expect that from a van. Since this was used as a travel car, I preferred a softer ride over quicker response in the steering.
I really can't say enough positive things about my experience with this van... I only hope my next car is this good!
