Why the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan?

Rear seat room & comfort

Our four kids had plenty of room in the Dodge GC for them and their stuff on a 12-hour ride to Virginia.

Front seat room

My wife and I had plenty of room in the Dodge GC for them and their stuff on a 12-hour ride to Virginia.

Powertrain performance

The van was able to sail down the turnpike at 75-80 for hours on end.

Why Not the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan?

Past personal experience

The van we rented poisoned us with carbon monoxide and gas fumes spewed through the ventilation system. I passed out while driving and spent the night in the hospital. The rest of my family was sick for weeks.

Safety & braking

The braking was fine. The safety was not. Again, something was broken and the van vented carbon monoxide and gas fumes through the ventilation system.

Reliability & durability

Any van that could vent carbon monoxide into the cabin has serious issues. Also, Dodge has a history of poor reliability.
