This opinion is based on my company's service fleet of Dodge Caravans . I'm on my third one now, a 98.5 model. I have mixed emotions about this vehicle. When they are running they run great. They are comfortable, have plenty of power, and drive well.
Visibility is good, and the sound system and climate controls work very well.
There is plenty of cargo space, and the seats are easily removable. The problem is reliability, or the lack there of. We keep our vans for 2 to 3 years and usually rack up between 75,000 and 90,000 miles in that period of time. These are just some of the problems that I have seen. If you drive it hard, you can only expect about 20,000 miles out of the transmission.
