Pros: Optional Infinity 10 speaker Sound system, Smooth ride, Standard amenities.
Cons: Dated Powertrain, Poor fuel Economy, Anemic engine, Hefty curb weight.
The Bottom Line: Not the best van in the world, but you get some bang for you buck here.
It seems like wherever I go these days I see these Dodge vans by the proverbial "boat load." I see them in parking lots, on the freeway, at the beach, etc, etc, etc. I'm constantly honking my horn at Dodge Caravans, and waving my arms thinking...

Pros: Smooth ride, adequate room, good fuel economy, comfortable seats
Cons: second row bucket seats disengage their attachments quite easily - possible problem for inquisitive children
The Bottom Line: This is a great little van and I love how it looks and drives and all the extra little features that come with it.
Oh, how I hate car payments, but the time had arrived! We had begun to look around for a new vehicle, thinking we would have about a year before giving our 93 Chevy S10 Blazer to our son. Then it happened! Our sons car did not cooperate, it rolled to a...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Supermodel looks, gadgets galore, Dodge's famous name and renowned quality (could be a con, however).
Cons: Scary and unreliable brakes, irritating locking system, touchy check-engine light, tuna-can construction.
The Bottom Line: Real pretty, driveable, and filled with fun gadgets; costly to maintain, numerous problems with "life-or-death" components (brakes, steering, front-end).
Here begins the sad saga of a van bought, a van loved, and a van lost... We got our '99 Grand (sport edition) in June 2004, 95,000 miles and looking sweet. The van had held up well, with very little rust. However, the test drive revealed an ...

Pros: Roomy Interior, Great Anti-Lock breaks, Faster than expected, Hidden compartments!
Cons: uhh, let me think...hmmm...ummm..gosh...I don't have TWO of them?
The Bottom Line: Great Product, space, reliability, speed, brakes, looks, comfort and price! Smart investment.
We purchased the Dodge Grand Caravan last week because I have been getting a little clausterphobic and hated staying home while daddy had the ONLY vehicle!. My husband has reserved himself to "big blue".. the other car we have, and doesn't even bother...

Pros: ride, handling, driver seat, room for storage, interior and exterior trim hold up well.
Cons: Reliability questionable, repairs more expensive than a car, exterior paint job not the best.
The Bottom Line: I would be cautious and have the van checked by someone who knows vans when buying used.
I hate wordy reviews. Let's get going. Bought new, dark purple, FWD, 3.3 liter engine, cloth seats, 4 seats and one bench (option), compass, fuel economy indicator (options) and enhanced ventilation system. Most everything else standard. Here is my ...

Pros: Price, looks, plenty of storage

The Bottom Line: The Dodge Caravan offers a spacious interior. Gets good gas mileage.
What are you looking for in a van? If you want storage space, an efficient air system, good gas mileage, comfort, and a quiet ride, then the Dodge Caravan may be what you are looking for. This van offers all of these features as well as a few others....

Pros: Roomy, nice ride, great options for the price tag.
Cons: Smaller than some minivans, fewer color and interior choices.
I went into the car-buying arena thinking I wanted an SUV. The Dodge Caravan changed my mind!
I test drove a bunch of SUVs and they were fine to drive, but I found them pricey, and quite frankly there is NOT much room in them. I took a...

Pros: Very user friendly
Cons: none!
When I first sat in the Dodge Grand Caravan, I thought for sure angels were going to start singing, and I started looking for the puffy clouds, and the bright light! I though for sure I must have died and gone to heaven!
The wonderful...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Nothing better to drive for the money
Cons: Tight parking spaces are a pain, but considering everything else.....park elsewhere and walk!
First of all I would like to tell you that I was one of those people who said they would never under any circumstance own a minivan. I hated those jellybean conveyances that seemed to dominate the highway. They represented a level of suburbia I never had...

Pros: Price, Price, Price
Cons: Only comes in 2 colors
I bought my 1999 Dodge Caravan in May of 99. We were on a budget so we were had planned on buying a used van. We thought there would be no way we can afford a brand new mini-van. But, nevertheless, we looked into pricing. They were completely...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: good in snow, good size
Cons: bad mileage, minor problems in first year, transmission problems
The Bottom Line: I've been fairly happy with the car, but now that I've had it 4 years it wants to visit home (the dealer) more often.
This is the first American car I've owned since 1982. The main selling point was that Dodge made an ...

Pros: 2 sliding doors, good mileage
Cons: blind spot , smaller cargo area
We purchased our 1999 Dodge Caravan after the birth of our third child. After looking at many of the mini vans that are on the market it was our favorite for many reasons.
The first reason is that we already owned a Dodge truck and have had NO...

Pros: Good gas mileage, comfortable ride, lots of head and leg room
Cons: Can't find anything major to complain about!
I bought the 1999 Dodge Caravan new during the summer of 1999, and our experience with this van has been very positive for the most part. It has stood up for the last year under the onslaught of our two kids, aged 13
and 4.
We opted for...

Pros: roomy, handles well
Cons: price
When we finally decided it was better to have a van that actually spent the majority of its time on the road rather than in for service, we began looking to trade in our 1995 Ford Windstar. As the mom of 5 kids, 7 and under, a van was not simply a nice...

We purchased a 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan last summer and are extremely pleased with it. It handles very well and is quite roomy. I especially like the easy access and convenience of having 5 doors. My husband drove us from Florida to Indiana in 16 hours...
