Why We Drove It: The Dodge Grand Caravan exhibits a strong trend of high achievement in the annual J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study (IQS). The Grand Caravan also turned in an impressive performance in NHTSA crash tests, and is among the top three most fuel-efficient minivans on the market when equipped with the standard 3.3-liter V-6 engine, according to the EPA.
In surveys that J.D. Power and Associates has conducted with verified owners of the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan, the people that actually own and drive one told us:
“[I am] disappointed with the premium sound system. CDs sound good, but everything else is so-so.”
“I love my audio, entertainment and navigation system ‘cause we make a lot of long trips and it makes the trip more enjoyable.”
“When accelerating rapidly, as in to pass another vehicle, the engine noise is loud and shifting is rough.”
“The touch screen control unit is very difficult for the driver to use while driving [and] it is complex.”
“The cruise control knobs are down and to the right on [the] steering column [making it] hard to see and set.”
“I love the look and feel of [the interior lighting] and how it does not distract from driving.”
“The seats are not well padded; they need more foam and springs.”
“My wife keeps finding things that rattle.”
“The HVAC is very effective and functional, although the controls [are] not well located.”
“The…drive train [gives you] powerful acceleration, a smooth [ride], and good gas mileage.”
“The extremely flexible stow-n-go seating, for both passengers and cargo, is great!”
