2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SE, Sto & Go review from North America
"Great van for the money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.
General comments?
This is our 2nd Grand Caravan. Got good service out of the first one (a 2000). Over 350k and still going strong. Wife put her foot down and said it was time for a new one.
I had tried 2008 Toyota Van for 2 weeks last winter when we went to California on vacation. Great van, a real rocket sled. About the only thing I didn't like about it was the shiny plastic on the interior.
I guess the main reason I went with Dodge again was price. The new (to me) van has been great so far. The layout of the interior is nice with lots of storage bins. It is comfortable and drives very smooth and quiet on the highway. The 3.3 engine carries the van loaded (2 adults,4 kids)&2 large dogs at highway speeds no problem and is good on fuel. Van is loaded except for the power sliding doors/lift-gate.
Bought this van for $19,500 taxes in. For a Toyota, Honda or Nissan with the same options would have been well over $30,000.
This has been a great van so far, no complaints.
