Dodge has been making these vehicles longer than any other, they have much experience with these vehicles. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

I bought Dodge only because Ford was involved in supporting homosexuality. If I had waited until now I would have bought a Ford. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

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 seems to have had many bad reviews and JD Power reliability is rated only 2 of 5. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

The reputation though well deserved of inferior products. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

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. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

Extremely poor reliability expectations of virtually every component on the vehicle. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

Kia doesn't have the best reputation, though I get the sense that it's slowly improving. Speaking personally, I would have laughed at the idea of buying/leasing anything from Kia even three years ago. However, in that time, I've had two: a 2011 Kia Sportage EX and, now, a 2013 Kia Optima SX Limited. The mediocre brand image is a unfortunate, because if you slapped another make's emblem on this car, people would probably be absolutely gushing over it. As I said, I don't think their image is improving, though. see full Kia Optima review |
2007 | 4dr Sedan 161-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
poor trade in value but intend to keep long time due to great warranty; Kia discounting cars in USA to gain brand penetration; much better priced here than in Europe for the same car. see full Kia Optima review |
