Overview & Reviews

A new trim level dubbed "CV" has been added. The bargain-basement, four-cylinder-only "eC" model (extra-cheap?) has been dropped, but we doubt its passing will be mourned.

• Surprisingly agile handling, quiet ride for V6 models, low price.

• Some cheap interior bits, limited features and options, reliability record not as strong as some competitors.

  Excellent, dependable - 2003 Dodge Caravan
  By brosun - September 28 - 2:00 am

  Bought at 39,000. Gave to our son as a wedding present with 165,000 in 7/10. What a car! Best quality American car I have owned in 40 years. Replaced a the water pump myself for $30 at 120K. Washers never worked, corroded pump but I dont think I washed the windshield by hand once a year! Absolutely nothing to complain about. Comfortable to ride in. Plenty of power, roomy, exterior was like showroom when we let it go after 7 years. Engine and transmission superb. ps: NEVER allow anything but Chrysler ATF 4 or 5 in your car. You WILL have transmission problems. Youve been warned! This Caravan raised the bar for any future cars I should buy!

  Very happy with 2003 caravan - 2003 Dodge Caravan
  By heatherj - June 24 - 9:31 pm

  This is our 3rd van, and it has been terrific. 3 teenage sons all learned to drive on it, so there has been bodywork done, but no major repairs have been needed. :) have always had recommended maintenance carried out on schedule, though. It starts in -35 degree weather without being plugged in (its in Canada) and air conditioning works like a dream when we have +80 f temperatures. It has been ideal with two kids playing sports and lots of trips to out-of-town games. This is my third Dodge caravan, the first being a 1983, the second a 1999, and I would buy another anytime. Great family vehicle, affordable, good mileage. Very practical vehicle.

  Good results - 2003 Dodge Caravan
  By viper81149 - January 5 - 3:30 pm

  We have had a van since 1993 and this is the most reliable one we have owned. Good results. Plenty of power. A couple of problems that were covered by warranty but nothing major. No issues with engine or transmission. Rear brake cylinder had small leak at 60,000 miles and was replaced but other than that, no significant problems.

  Love my Caravan - 2003 Dodge Caravan
  By Sue B - August 10 - 9:34 am

  I had a 1988 Plymouth Voyager I bought new and just loved it so I bought this 2003 Caravan. Love it as well. Im short 52", and I sit very comfortably and can handle this very well. It steers precisely and is very easy to park. Easier than my Honda Accord I traded for this. It is a lot quieter than my Hondas have been. I would of tried a Honda van, but they were too expensive and Im trying to lower my debts. The Van looks sporty as well. Nice wheels. My mom has a caravan and loves it too.

  Great Van, Better than Honda & Toyota - 2003 Dodge Caravan
  By Tim Jessup - June 8 - 3:50 pm

  Have 45,000 miles of trouble-free miles on this van. Own a 1985 Voyager with 199,000 miles (still have original alternator and most other original components in the 2.2 L engine) and a 1995 Caravan with 140,000 miles (only replaced AC compressor in 12 years). Get over 27 mpg on trips (using Mobil I motor oil. Get 18-20 mpg around town. Gotten better service than coworker who has a 2002 Honda Oddysey and has had transmission, breaks, and AC problems, already with barely 50,000 miles (so much for Honda quality!). Acceleration is smooth and runs well and regular grade gas, unlike many imports. Our van also runs on E85 fuel, though this is not available in our area. I recommend highly for you

  Comfort Ride - 2003 Dodge Caravan
  By Dodge Caravan SE - June 19 - 12:04 am

  We love the comfort of our Dodge Caravan. The vans seats were extremely comfortable on a 2500 mile trip we took out west. This is our second Dodge Caravan SE.
