Why the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan?

Why Not the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan?

Reliability & durability

Engine uses almost 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles. Dodge says this is "normal". Had to switch to synthetic oil to minimize problems. Makes me question long term durability of the engine. Had front end problems early on (tie rod ends, struts and strut mount

Depreciation

Vehicle seems to depreiciate quickly. Does not hold its market value

Brand reputation & image

Web reports/research states that oil consumption problem is not normal and one should worry about long term durability of the engine. Other research shows Daimler-Chrysler has overall quality and safety issues.
