1993 Dodge Caravan ES review from North America
"This is a very comfortable vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gas gauge quit. Easy to repair except had to drop the tank.
Head gasket went after 228000 KM, so replaced the engine with a used engine of 138000KM.
Windshield replaced as they get very pitted without a deflector.
Local dealer wants an arm and a leg for repairs. Cannot afford a dealer.
General comments?
Even though I had some bad luck with this vehicle it has still been one of the most reliable vehicles I've ever owned (and I've owned quite a few).
It's fun to drive, and very comfortable. Lots of pep and still very quiet.
Very handy for small groups or large families, also for trucking clean stuff.
I am buying a newer (1998) Grand Caravan this week and someone will get a good used car... kind of hate to part with it!
