I can get up to 2 adults and a child or 3 children, or 2 car seats and one child. The kids really like the rear seat and the middle captian chairs they love to recline and watch a movie. see full Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan review |

It will give you the power when you need it. We have the 3.8 and my wife likes to say that it does not make her feel like a soccer mom at all. Just make sure you stop all the way before you take off again to save the tranny in the long run. see full Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan review |

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. see full Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan review |

3.3 liter engine is pitiful compared to the competition. Slow, thrashy, harsh and unrefined. see full Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan review |

The engine is not as good performance wise as Sienna or Oddessey. see full Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan review |
