| Pros: What do you like about 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan?
Fits us Big Guys - very good seats, leg & head room. I'm 6'4" and can sleep in back comfortably. Excellent 'road trip' vehicle. At last, a 'minivan' for "The Man's Man"!
Road handling is superb, far better than a full size van with effectively similar interior room.
Bought used, and the 'creature features' are amazing - I discover something new daily. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan?
The only real gripe I have is the left side door-mounted control panel hits my leg, causing a painful 'pressure point'. A bit of padding fixed it, but this is annoying. Probably only an issue for tall drivers.
Also, the parking brake release requires opening the door and NOT being belted in to reach - only an issue for us older fat guys..... 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan Review:
Overall, I like it! Never saw myself having a minivan, but this one fits my needs very well!
Checking the Net for reviews and recall history, I find only minor problems reported by most, and only three fairly minor recall issues.
Earliest Chrysler/Dodge minivan problems have been fixed in these later editions. |

Softer ride over bumps and a luminated steering wheel so I can see the cruise control buttons at night!! 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan Review:
Over all it is nice and reliable! |

Handles well in all conditions, with regular maintenance, you have very little issues.
Inside is comfortable with lots of room for adults and kids.
Outside is nice looking with tint.
Like the vehicle a lot for fact is it very practical and family friendly with stow and go and carriage capability. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan?
You do have to do front end repairs more often than I like to.
Wish I can manipulate the seats in second row to tilt back as you are driving when your child falls asleep. Kind of annoying to pull over and do it. 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan Review:
Overall I love the van. I have carried 5 teenage girls and 2 adults, with all their luggage for soccer tournaments and everyone has enjoyed the ride in the van. That is what I call practical. |

Performance is pretty good.
Looks nice on the outside. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan?
The seats are terrible.
Mechanical problems stink.
Front end, transmission, power drivers seat panel. 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan Review:
Don't like the van. The worst Chrysler product I have ever owned. I like Mopar but the newer minivans are uncomfortable. I will more than likely replace it with another Dodge, but definitely not a minivan. Now the airbag light is on and I hear thats a 200.00 dollar fix. Ouch. The seat belts are a pain in the neck (no pun intended)to use. I also think that Dodge's Traction control is a joke. The fuel mileage could be better as well. |

If it wasn't right the first time, don't make customer pay for corrections. 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan Review:
After 15,000 miles spark plugs, air bag, injectors, brakes (pads and rotors), air bag again, power steering leaks, noisy engine belts, cv joints, sliding doors don’t close properly, you can feel air coming thru doors rubber seals but the worst one is that after 4 months trying to get a roof paint warranty they told me that : Chrysler won’t participate in this repair knowing that 5 licensed body shops agreed that was a manufacturer problem but, because the service advisor manager said that those “cracks” were normal because another minivans are having the same issue, I pointed that it will experienced some rust and he agreed and said but later on. |

Stow & go seating is so awesome, it's by far the best thing yet.
It rides quiet.
Plenty of power.
DVD player with screen makes for entertaining with kids, and adults easy.
Rear heat and air controls is a plus.
Front seats are comfortable. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan?
Finding one reasonably priced is a real pain...
Rear seats are not comfortable.
DVD function supersedes all functions on the radio, you cannot listen to a cd, or fm while DVD is playing.
Is very top heavy. 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan Review:
This is an excellent vehicle, it was hard to find for the price we wanted to pay. We love the stow&go seating. If the kids are unhappy, just turn on the dvd player, and all is well. Although you can't listen to anything but the dvd while it is playing. The rear heat and ac controls are great. We really don't mind making long trips in this van. Plenty of room, plenty of options, and is great on gas (avg 23 mpg) although we had a bad experience at the dealer, we love the van. We will not buy from the same dealer again. |

Stow n Go Cons: How would you improve 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan?
Bigger engine, better electronics, better interior materials, improve the level of the build quality starting with the basic models on up... raise the standard of the overall quality without increasing the costs. 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan Review:
The 2005 version is an improvement, but it still is lacking behind the competition. Improve the build quality by improving the materials used. Increase the performance and be competitive with the imports. Lower your profit margins, and become the industry standard without being greedy would be my recipe for a successful industry leading company and product. |

Drives like a luxury car. Easy to get in and out. Fit and finish is good. Seats are a lot more comfortable than the Honda I test drove. |

remove lower driver air bag 2005 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan Review:
I really like my 2005 Dodge Caravan. But two months ago I was hit head on. The driver who hit me was going about 30 mph when she hit me. I would have walked away from the wreck with only a few bruses had it not been for my lower airbag. I now have permanent damage in both legs due to the lower airbag. It is my openion they are not safe. Had I had weak bones, but legs would have been breken. However I do have permanent nerve damage in both legs because of the air bags. |
