2012 Dodge Grand Caravan User Reviews

Pros

beautiful van that is responsive and reliable

Cons

The driver seat just does not go back far enough...

Purchased As New

This is a spactacular automobile and it attracts attention wherever we go. I like keeping it clean because it responds to care so well. We own a 2002 Town and Country and we genuinely enjoy both vehicles.

Pros

Great interior layout and room

Cons

Wish it had standard luggage rails

The ride is comfortable and very responsive for a minivan. Didn't think I would like a minivan but I was wrong I guess.

Cons

The thought of being like my parents and owning a Minivan

Purchased As New

Having convinced my wife to trade her 2005 Land Rover Range Rover HSE for a Dodge Grand Caravan R/T was half the battle. It had to have some of the amenities that her Rover had and the R/T package bridged that gap nicely. Leather heated front and 2nd row seats, 6.5 radio display screen, power lift gate and power sliding side doors that open with the touch of a key fab and enough room with the stow n go feature to handle the whole gang (dogs, kid and luggage) The R/T has alot of other items that I did not mention but wanted to let readers know that my wife is very satisfied and on our last road trip we averaged 28.4 miles per gallon doubling her Rover's 14.1 miles per gallon....read morehide

Pros

Lots of Room, Strong Engine, Good MPG for Vans

Cons

None

Purchased As New

I have not had one problem with our Caravan. Drives great, averages around 21mpg (which nicely displays that info on the dash). Stow and Go seats are a plus which gives you even more storage space. The Flex Fuel option is nice if you can get it. This 2012 Grand Caravan is an addition to our 2007 Grand Caravan that has over 165,000 miles. This series of vehicles put out by Dodge have been known to be safe and long lasting and I expect this new one to be the same....read morehide

(last 22 years) I have owned four Dodge caravans 1987,1989,1991,1997 then 1999 Dodge Durango and 1998 ford aerostar van. Two Kia Sedona LX 2004 & LX 2008. I Traded my 2008 Kia Sedona LX van for a 2012 New Dodge Grand Caravan SE. $4000.00 chaper than 2012 Kia Sedona LX. Honda and Toyota over priced. Dodge Caravan drives very solid. I can not believe how much better it handles than Kia. I am back to the Dodge family. We love it. I don't know why so many people are giving this van bad reviews??? Good American Made Vehicle. Buy American :)...read morehide

Pros

Cons

bad on gas

Purchased As Used

We bought this van when I was expecting a third child. It was the biggest mistake. Air condition and heating problems, abs track control bas lights always on so then you have no cruise. Also it burns oil really bad. It was my worst purchase ever.
