  • Stay Away - 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
    By -

    The worst vehicle I have ever owned. Been to the Dodge service department 18 times in the past 18 months. 40,000 miles and on 4th set of front brake rotors. Dealer cannot figure our why brakes wear out so quickly and told us that the brake parts are made softer so they dont squeal. Whatever! Have motorized side and rear doors. All motors have been replaced at least once. I purchased the largest extended warranty and already used it 3 times in 4000 miles. Cant wait to get rid of this one and will never purchase another Chrysler product again. I was hoping the merger with Mercedes would increase quality, but thats not the case. Dodge has great looking cars, but cant overcome poor build quality.

  • Wonderful Vehicle - 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan

    The van is solid. Very comfortable to ride in for extended periods of time. The ride is smooth and quiet. It is a fun vehicle to drive. There is nothing in here that I am not satisfied with.

  • Great vehicle, beats our old SUV - 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
    By -

    We traded in an SUV to get the Dodge Grand Caravan and have had no regrets. It is comfortable riding, drives nice, can carry more than our truck, and mileage isnt bad for a larger vehicle.

  • Very Good Value - 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
    By -

    Purchased fully loaded Special Edition new for almost 1/2 price of similar Honda/Toyota vans. Test drove all 3 makes & noted better handling, quieter ride on H & T but frankly for $20K less with a car load of kids you really dont notice or care. Got & recommend the Chrysler extended warranty with $0 deductible and free minivan rental(beginning day 1). Weve had warranty work done (rack & pinion; frozen caliper; sliding door wiring and tire pressure sensors replaced) but the extended warranty made these experiences painless. Experts pooh-pooh this van. But push for a great price, protect yourself with the extended warranty youll get a great family van with low total cost of ownership.

  • SXT Grand Caravan - 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
    By -

    The Grand Caravan SXT is a quality van from the beginning . The moment you open the door to enter until you close the door to exit. Truly a joy to drive, almost too comfortable, almost... Thank you Dodge for another quality vehicle.

    We have taken one long road trip since buying the Caravan--it made the trip so nice. The ride was wonderful, the driving was so easy, the sound sytem performed very well. Many comments from people we met about the "great looking van".
