2009 Dodge Grand Caravan User Reviews

Pros

Great Gas Mileage

Cons

Shaky Brakes

Purchased As New

I have owned 3 of the body types of the Dodge Caravan, I've owned a 1995(used), a 2005(new lease) and now I have a 2008(lease as well). First thing I MUST SAY I financed through Chrysler and they got me out of the 2005 to the 2008 w/o any hassle. I loved that smooth transaction.

The van gets better in time. I love it sooooo much that I bought one for my mom(used). I LOVE the MY GIG infosystem it is a touch screen radio with a Hard drive to store songs and pictures. It is sooo much better than a satellite radio, you are the DJ. My playlist vary from Christmas, R&B, Gospel, Kid music, 90's music... so I can listen to whatever I'm in the mood for. I have the swivel seats with the table. OMG THE KIDS LOVE THIS! The caravan is for the entire family so it is important that everyone loves it, especially the kids. I purchased headrest DVD's and there is an outlet for them that turns off when the van turns off. There is an outlet to charge your phone that stays powered even when the car is off so your phone can continue to charge. There are outlets in the BACK that are awesome for a tail gate party, you can watch a portable TV. The stow and go lays down FLAT, so you can move things like in a pick up. There is plenty of room and the middle row slides up, so you can realistically fit 7 ADULTS IN THIS VAN. I am a marching band mom, and I can fit kids, and instruments in there. Also there is a cup holder for everyone in my van. My mom's van has the cool feature of the rear window letting down, and she has a regular radio, which still has a Sirius satellite radio system. However different the two vans are, it remains the same, reliable, safe, drives smooth, great mileage (even with low grade gas), comfortable, starts every time, and the service warranty - wow it is cool to have a lifetime power train, because something did mess up after 30,000 on my mom's used van but the warranty was transferable so she was able to not only find out WHY her check engine light was on but get it repaired at no cost to her. As others testifies my breaks shake too, maybe if we complain enough we can get a recall. Other than that. I LOVE IT!!!
