  Just what our family needs.... - 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By mikesr11 - July 20 - 3:32 pm

  We have owned a windstar, and odyssey in the past, this 2012 grand caravan has them beat. This van has everything we need without breaking the bank. The SXT package is well equipped for our daily needs. The van drives more SUV like, and seems a bit wider than our 04 odyssey. The stow away seats are amazing, and are easily labeled: 1,2,3,4 so anyone who is not familiar with the van can follow the steps to put them into the floor. The stereo has excellent sound quality and is voice activated. The black seats look really nice and modern, and I prefer not having the 8 seats, and keeping the traditional captains chairs in the middle- Its much easier for the kids to get around this way.

  Good Value for the money at the lower priced models - 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By floridaflyer - April 14 - 1:22 am

  We bought our 2012 Grand Caravan back in February and four months later we have 5000 miles on it. We are enjoying it, my wife is more comfortable driving the minivan than my car and she really likes the stow-n-go seating. We have been getting better gas mileage (seeing 21 mpg city and 27 mpg highway, my calculations, not the display on the dash which reads a little higher) than the EPA sticker says and thats with running the A/C. I do keep the Econ Button on all the time, except when I am accelerating up this one onramp that is uphill. When I turn off the A/C and the Econ Button for that ramp, it has great acceleration, with the Econ Button on it suppresses the shifts/acceleration.

  I was always an SUV believer, until now. - 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By cindra471 - January 2 - 3:08 pm

  I just bought my first Mini Van. I thought I never would. But, after seeing all the bells and whistles I get in this baby, Ill probably never go back to a SUV. The price for what you get is unbeliveable. Id only be able to get a base model SUV for the price I got the CREW Model. Oh, and the gas savings, you cant be it. This little van has everything you can think of and then some. I cant say enought about this van. If youre considering you wont be sorry. Im very pleased with my purchase, did I mention I traded a Cadillac for this, I dont miss the Cadillac at all!!!

  Outstanding family vehicle! - 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By califamily - November 30 - 9:57 am

  We bought ours as our first minivan, coming SUVs, this was a big change. Ive been watching the 3.6l closely and it seems great in all vehicles so far. The engineering in this thing is genius, the top loading oil filter makes my life in the garage SO much easier! The level of attention and brilliance transfers to every part of the vehicle. We have 26k on ours so far and loved every minute. 0 problems. Its drivetrain is super smooth, it took a little getting used to but within the first day of ownership, any doubts that we had made the right decision were banished! This is an absolutely amazing family vehicle. We drive the competitors and this was by far most comfortable and most functional.

  Very comfortable cruiser - 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By homerkc - May 20 - 8:01 am

  Weve had the SXT van for a month, incl. one 2000 mi. trip, and it is great! We saw 28mpg on the highway (both by the dash display and by calculation at fill-up), 18-20 in town. For a van with the comfort and flexible space it offers, the mileage is terrific. Its also nice to drive; not too floaty over bumps, good steering feel. And the power from the pentastar engine is strong. All in all, Id buy another without question.

  A lot for the money - 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By homerkc - November 8 - 12:48 am

  We have 3,500 mi. on our van and it has exceeded many expectations. We took a 2000 mi trip shortly after buying (only 500 break-in miles) and saw 28mpg on the interstate. We can get 20mpg around town (suburban driving) if we watch what were doing. Very comfortable seats and ride, plenty of power, and the flexibility of the stow n go always amazes. For a very reasonable mid-20s price, its a lot of car that can do a lot of things (like haul 2 new exterior doors from Home Depot) without any fuss. Once you have had that capability at your disposal, it would be hard to give it up.

  Great Van (especially for the money) - 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By ryan4904 - November 8 - 2:48 pm

  Bought this van 2 months ago and it has been great so far. I certainly didnt expect to own a van at the age of 29, but with the kids and the dog, it was necessary. First of all the, the van looks great, inside and out, way better than the other minivans in the class. We test drove the Dodge, Toyota, and Honda minvans, and didnt notice too much of a difference in ride quality, although maybe the Toyota was a little smoother. But then again maybe the only reason I noticed was because I read the reviews ahead of time and expected it. This van is great, and a comparable Honda or Toyota with all the same features costs about $7K or $8K more (the Toyota salesman acknowledged that).

  couldnt ask for more - 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By joecerio - August 3 - 10:16 pm

  Ok I waited 1 year before posting review. Bought vehicle new in august 2012. Trans recall was right on. fixed prob. sat radio still doesnt work. Other than that this van is perfect in every sense. I am getting good gas mileage, comfort, storage, and hauling capabilities. There seems to be some very picky people out there. This van was way less than the others I checked them all out before buying. Ride may seem a little stiff but for what van can do well worth it. if you want a really smooth ride shell out 60k and get a Cadillac. In my opinion great vehicle for the money. will get another. This is my 4th dodge van. And next body change god willing and the creek dont rise I will get anothe
