Premium Group (power adjustable pedals, ParkSense rear park assist system, security alarm, 3 overhead storage bins, touring suspension.) Supplemental Side Curtain Air Bags for all rows, AM/FM Radio w/CD Player and GPS Navigation, 6-Disc CD/DVD Changer required with rear video. SIRIUS Satellite Digital Radio (1 year service provided by SIRIUS), UConnect Hands-Free Communication, Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror, Rear Seat Entertainment Video System, 2nd-Row Overhead 7" Video Screen, Wireless Headphones, Video Remote Control. Consumer Guide® Fuel Economy: 18.64 mpg (what's this?) Problems During Test: None From The Back Seat Chuck Giametta A grand machine. A Grand Caravan with Stow 'n Go is arguably, one of the best all-around vehicles of any type, from any manufacturer, at any price. Mark Bilek Though Dodge has kept Caravan current with the addition of Stow 'n Go and curtain side airbags and thrown in modern conveniences like satellite radio and rear entertainment I can't help but feel that this minivan is starting to get long in the tooth. The suspension is woeful at times and the engine archaic by today's standards. If Dodge wants to keep Caravan at the top of shoppers lists, a new model better be in the works. Tom Appel As useful as they are, I think Caravan and Town & Country have gotten pretty old. Great deals can be had on them, bolstering their appeal, but for ride, handling, and interior appointments, I'm thinking Odyssey. |
