2006 Dodge Caravan SE review from North America
"Car, cargo van, motor home, all in one tidy little package"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not a single problem with this vehicle since purchased as a Demonstrator at 8,000 km.
General comments?
98% of driving is highway; gas consumption is 9L/100km, or 31 mpg Imperial (26 U.S.) Very peppy performance, smooth, quiet ride, handles like a sports car. Made a bed for the back with storage under; getting a tent to attach to the open hatch for camping. Will buy 4 Michelin X snow tires on rims as the factory all season tires aren't great for winter driving. This is my 2nd Caravan; had the 1st for 7 years; only needed brake linings, tires and a battery in 115,000 km. I have a friend with nearly 400,000 km on his Caravan. Can't understand why the resale value is so low on these vans. Japanese and Korean vans are not nearly as good as the Dodge. Guess they're so Great cause they're made in Canada, Eh?
