2007 Dodge Caravan SWB User Reviews

Pros

I bought it new for under 20K. Still running real strong with no problems.

Cons

Does not hold its value. Dodge needs to do something about after market value.

Purchased As New

For the price I paid and not having any problems, I think it is the best Mini Van for the buck. Since the Van does not hold its value this Mini-Van is a big winner for the budget minded familys.

Pros

Good Fuel Ecnomy

Cons

Ride is rough

Purchased As New

Nice ride, cheap, affordable and inexpensive. Plenty of cargo room and I get pretty decent fuel economy. Gotta test drive one yourself.

Pros

Good fule economy

Cons

The ride is a little rough on bumpy road

the dodge grand caravan se is the best looking and handling minivan that is also the most afordable.

Pros

Pros

great overall value for money, good overall mileage for size

Cons

poor starting acceleration, shift points sometimes annoying

This vehicle came well equipped for low 20k. Would like to have more power and adjustable rear captain seats for taller people. Disappointed that Chrysler has dropped the vehicle as it has very good versatility.

Pros

Looks OK

Cons

Generic cookie cutter van

Looked at Caravan, compared it to Honda Odessey/Sienna, no comparison.
Dodge seems cheap, cheap plastic parts, poor reputation on reliability and resale value.
Not worth purchasing.

Pros

Pros

looks and drives nice.

Cons

transmission shifts too hard

We bought an '07 Caravan in December '06. The only complaint I had is when I was on the highway and had to speed up - slowly not instantly, the transmission would shift hard and the van would jerk. Otherwise the van was very nice. It's not as big and bulky like other vans, which comes in handy when parking or trying to switch lanes. It was similar to driving my 2005 Ford Focus....read morehide

Pros

Very quiet, smooth ride, solid 25 MPG, great visibility, nice looking

Cons

Cup holders not deep enough to keep 16 oz bottles from tumbling out

Seriously . . . this 2007 model was a steel. It listed for over $25,000 but after discounts and rebates, we got it for $18,520. Our 1994 Plymouth Voyager listed for $20,025 and we paid over $16,000 for it.
Our goal with that unit was 10 years, and it rewarded us with 13+ years of troublefree service. So it is easy to see why we took the plunge and purchased another Chrysler product mini-van.

To date, we are VERY satisfied with the new 2007 SXT. The "popular equipment package number one" gave us the toys we were looking for, such as the luggage rack, six way power drivers seat, trip computer, split rear bench, etc. The fit and finish of this vehicle rivals my wife's Honda. I plan to tow a small utility trailer and have found six aftermarket hitch platforms that fit this vehicle. Trailer wiring is a snap too. I'm not sure the "Inferno Red" paint was worth the up-charge, but the quality of the paint job is A-1. Absolutly flawless!!!
Performance is very good and we are getting 25 miles per gallon with 80% freeway and 20% city driving. (We keep very accurate records.)

We learned that in 2008, Chrysled will discontinue the SWB (short wheelbase) van and only sell the "GRAND CARAVAN". We find the shorter unit is easier to parallel park and it takes up less garage space too. It also costs less.

In closing, I would recommend this van to anyone.

Sincerely, Michael and Ann...read morehide
