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 Grand Caravan review |

Stow-n-go seating is very uncomfortable. Rotating seats have no room to sit face to face with rear seat passengers. Base model forces one to get a center bench. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

The 3.8 V6 is underpowered for the weight of the vehicle. It does OK in hills and mountains with my family of 4 and our luggage for a trip. When loaded down it struggles to get up to highway speed and to maintain speed in hills. The transimission clunks at times and sometimes hard shifts, but it has done that since we bought it to no adverse affects on the powertrain. We've had it for 100,000 miles and have had no issues with powertrain performance or reliability despite the clunking and being underpowered. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

This van has the 3.8L V6. It is very under power at 198 HP. The transmission bucks & bangs at inconsistent intervals. Sometimes it will do this a couple days in a row, then not for a week or more. The fuel mileage is not too bad. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

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. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

Very underpowered with the 3.8 L V6. The transmission is clunky, bucks and slams into gear at times. It doesn't do it all the time, but at inconsistent times. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

The 3.8 L seems not nearly as responsive as my 3.8 Ford windstar. I understand that the dogginess just started in 2008. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

Changed the original Yokohama tires after wearing out at 55,000 kms. Install Michelin XRV4 Progency and have over 85,00 kms logged to date see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |
