SE vs. SXT. The rear seats and bench are comfortable for 5 people. The SXT is exactly the same, but leather is cooold in winter. Both have more room than other brands. see full Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan review |

I too love that the rearseats can both flip up. This offers me alot of rear floor space to haul my music gear instead of laying it out on the rear bed area. see full Honda Ridgeline review |
