2009 4dr Minivan, ext. 251-horsepower 4.0L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 THEY DO NOT STAND behind their vehicle as one would expect from a manufacturer of a BRAND NEW Mini-Van. My last Dodge/Chrysler after 24 years of purchasing...as many of the family too. Employee or not discount or not...NO THANKS! We are going elsewhere. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2008 4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 2008 seems to have had many bad reviews and JD Power reliability is rated only 2 of 5. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review

5-speed manual FWD		 Early Focus models has some problems. The Focus seems to be marketed almost exclusily towards the younger crowd. see full Ford Focus review

2005 4dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4

6-speed manual FWD		 If you are going to buy a ford sports car why would you buy a focus when you can have a mustang. see full Ford Focus review
