1998 Dodge Grand Caravan SE AWD review from North America
"Excellent all-around"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter was replaced at 125,000 miles.
General comments?
Very reliable, has never let me down and has only needed the one repair (new starter) at 125,000 miles. I live in Alaska and drive on snow 7 months a year, and the all-wheel drive works flawlessly. I was prepared to hate it, but in fact it's a great and reliable and safe family car, with more room than an SUV. Better gas mileage too. And the 3.8 liter engine is plenty powerful.
