  I love my Grand Caravan - 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By Bob - January 20 - 7:53 pm

  I have had 3 Windstars and a Honda Minivan. The Dodge Grand Caravan is by far the best of the 4. The stow and go seating is absolutely wonderful (and thats why I bought it). I have had no problems whatsoever in 10K miles and year and half of ownership. It rides like a dream, handles great, (could use a little more pep, Quiet interior, but its OK) Gas mileage around town about 18, on the road 23 both with AC on. No problems folks and thats the truth! Im so happy with it, Chrysler sure has changed since Mercedes took them over- I feel like Im driving a Mercedes. Ill buy another in a heartbeat. Just love it!

  Solid and useful - 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By Redvan - January 10 - 8:53 pm

  Just drove it for one year. Drove it in high heat. Good A/C. It can haul a lot of material with ease. It is a heavy duty vehicle. I always see the Toyota Sienna riding very low in back with a few back seat passengers. I do not think Honda people ever do work with their vans. I just do not see the point of a van if you cant haul stuff. The gas mileage is fair. 19/20 all around 23 on the freeway with A/C and going 70 plus. Good car so far

  Updated review from last year - 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By Jeff Clark - October 14 - 9:53 pm

  I reviewed this last Nov. after purchasing in Sept. 04. We now have 13K miles and have been on several trips. This van has yet to visit the dealership. The 6-disk dvd changer is a god-send for the two kids while traveling. After several hours of riding, I do get a little uncomfortable. So, the leather seats do get hard on the rear and back after 4-5 hours. Everything is still working as expected. So far, I would not change a thing, except for seat comfort. Mileage average is 19.

  Ready for our 4th boy with the SXT - 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By James H. - July 20 - 12:33 pm

  Have only had for 2 weeks but it looks like Dodge got it right. The stow & go is brilliant. Traded a 2001 Ford Windstar LX basically stripped. My SXT is loaded for the same price. Its great not to have to buy an aftermarket cd player and have the windows tinted. Both are standard w/3 zone climate control, 2 power sliders and power liftgate (only extra item $400). Its much quieter than the earlier Caravans. Having to move the seats all the way forward is a minor inconvenience to use the stow & go. It sure beats lugging them into the garage. Dodge reliability is always a concern but they can have their foreign minivans for $5k more. I dont want to pay $550/mo for a minivan.

  Survived major crash - 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By Amy - June 9 - 3:10 am

  My family and I were in a very severe crash right before Christmas. We were lucky to have walked away with few injuries. The van held up immensley without flipping (when no one could believe it didnt). There was little frame damage due to the strength of the frame. The engine area recieved most of the damage and overall the vehicle held up well and is back to driving like new after a crash. I feel lucky to have been in this van.

  This van is the "Biggest Bang for your Buck" out there. We did a lot of research, and though the Dodge may not be the safest or the fastest, but it does give you the most for your money. Being able to fold the seats into the floor is a GREAT option. No more fighting to pull them out or put them in and lug them around. The automatic doors make it much easier with the baby as well!

  Great - 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By Excellent - May 14 - 7:16 pm

  This is our 2nd Grand Caravan and we are loving it, especially the Sirius radio and navigation. Everything about this car is great. The Special Edition is awesome. Comfortable, great performance, luxurious and quiet ride. Stow and Go seats are a plus. We almost bought the Nissan and are glad we didnt. The seats are completely hidden. No more pulling them out and storing. Highly recommended. Has less air bags offered, but we dont have kids, so that was a non issue. Great value, price was right for the value.

  Grand Caravan conversion - 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By Barbara Johnson - April 29 - 5:43 pm

  My husband had a stroke and we needed to find a van that could be converted for handicapped use. We were so lucky to find Rollx Vans in Minnesota and they deal only in Chrysler products. We are very pleased with our van and our conversion features.. We have our life back! The passenger side back slide door works great, the car kneels and the ramp folds out in a matter of seconds... all by remote control. The remote that controls the conversion equipment is very handy and works great!
