This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Surprisingly agile handling, quiet ride for V6 models, low price.
Cons:
  • Some cheap interior bits, limited features and options, reliability record not as strong as some competitors.

  • A Bargin for the Price - 2003 Dodge Caravan

    This has been a rock solid piece of machinery. Reliable and very dependable. Now has 39,000 miles and only failure has been the CD player which was warrantied.

  • SXT? - 2003 Dodge Caravan
    By -

    We purchased our Caravan late in the 03 model year (there were already 04s on the lot) and paid about $19000 brand new. Our van is labeled as an SXT even though it is actually an SE with some extras. An end of year model change-up? I am really happy with the van and over the past year it has held up well. Only one small problem, the drivers side power window has failed on two occasions. It seems to happen during cold weather and once the vehicle is warm it is fine again. We looked at Toyota and Honda but both were much more expensive and didnt offer the same features without purchasing big packages. For the price you cant beat Dodge. A very good family oriented vehicle.

  • Best Value on Highway - 2003 Dodge Caravan
    By -

    Bought this "03" Sport off lease for $16,000 with 13,000 miles on it. Have driven it over 12,000 trouble free miles in 7 months. Average 20-21 mpg in a 60/40 city hwy mix. Looked at Oddesys and Siennas but they are way too pricey. Honda has too much road noise and cant get good features on the Toyota with buying items you may not want. Build quality and reliability for these Caravans has really improved in past 4-5 years. I highly recommend them!

    A solid value, it gives us 4 spacious bucket seats, we removed the rear bench and installed a power wheelchair winch, it has ample room for a large power chair, cargo, with space left behind the 4 seats, all which recline. My model has ample pickup, and very easy to manuever.

  • The Best Minivan there is - 2003 Dodge Caravan
    By -

    Just love this minivan, I would rather drive it than my Jag. It holds the road great, has lots of room, noise is quiet, looks good inside and I love the power door options.

  • 2003 Dodge Caravan SE - 2003 Dodge Caravan
    By -

    This is my fourth van built by Chrysler. I purchased each one new and have enjoyed driving them. My new 2003 Caravan SE to replaces the 2000 model I had. This van is wonderful for making long distance trips and for transporting my small family members.

  • My Minivan - 2003 Dodge Caravan
    By -

    This is a very well made and well though out van,the designers had parents in mind when building it.

  • New Car - 2003 Dodge Caravan
    By -

    So far I am generally happy. I like some features not available when I purchased my last van 9 years ago. There were a few quirks. For example, a hose was not tightened at the factory and I lost AC, and overheated-great billows of steam! It happened in front of the dealership, and I pulled in, I was immediately given a loaner to go on to work, and it was fixed for pick up on my way home. A recall was fixed at the same time. The service of the dealership, and my salesperson have been extordinary.
