Best Bang for the Minivan Buck! 2005 Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan Pros and Cons Member5674 Despite having a limited amount of horsepower (compared to other modern vans), I rarely feel the need for more power. This thing shifts accurately and smoothly equipped with the 4-speed automatic. |

Dodge mini-van 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan Pros and Cons Member4893 My van is equipped with the 3.8 litre, 6 speed automatic transmission. Have had no problems with it. Far superior to the 4 speed automatic transmissions I have had in my 3 previous Chrysler vans. I currently have 141,000 kms logged. |

2012 Dodge Grand Caravan Pros and Cons Member5486 This thing has some ridiculous number of gears, and you can feel the shifts as you go along. The engine has to be spun up to get the big power-it didn't seem nearly as powerful as it's rating. |

2005 Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan Pros and Cons Member3373 3.3 liter engine is pitiful compared to the competition. Slow, thrashy, harsh and unrefined. |
