Pros: What do you like about 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan?
Lots of room, the stow and go seating is great! Very comfortable for my family of 5>.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan?
Have had too many problems so far. My van is a 2008 with less than 30,000 miles and have already needed the brakes replaced, the automatic doors dont always shut, I have to do it myself, and I am currently having the transmission replaced!

2008 Dodge Grand Caravan Review:
I will NEVER by a Dodge Caravan again! It's a nice van but not worth the headache!!

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan?
The stow and go seats are absolutely wonderful and they come in really handy! This is about the only good thing I can say about our van.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan?
Perhaps Dodge could ensure that the locking mechanism for the automatic locks actually works with the remote. We have been "locked" out of our vehicle multiple times before we were able to get into the dealership to have them fix/replace the remotes. (The tumble also didn't work in the door so we could gain entry manually!!!). Now we are having the same problem after the dealership "fixed it" but this time it's with the ignition! We (my husband, and my two young boys both under 5) were STRANDED! Good thing we were able to get to a car rental place before they closed! On top of that, our AC was busted this summer in the middle of a heat wave (our van is only a year old and has less than 20,000 kms on it!). There have been many other issues with it too but these are the main ones!

2008 Dodge Grand Caravan Review:
I would NEVER buy another Dodge again because the lack of customer service that we have received regarding the problems with our van!

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan?
I got the package that included the middle roll down windows, 3 zone temperature control, etc. I love all of these, not to mention the stow and go seats! But one of my very favorite items is the adjustable pedals for the gas and brake, I can move them closer or farther away and as a typical overweight gal this makes it easy to have my chair back and still be able to reach the pedals. I also love the space and versatility.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan?
I would like to have a few more hooks to tie down items to.

2008 Dodge Grand Caravan Review:
I love this car! It is great of overweight people, dogs, kids and long trips! Great gas mileage.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan?
I love everything about it pretty much. The radio, the room, the stow and go, comfort, storage and the interior. It cleans so nice! I am so comfortable riding in it. I had a 1996 Grand Caravan and loved it, it had 260,000 miles on it when I finally retired it! In Pennsylvania they use them to drive the Amish in and other than replacing the trannies they run like a champ, I have seen them with over 400,000 miles with my own eyes!!! (older models for driving the Amish)

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan?
Maybe just a bit more get up and go.

2008 Dodge Grand Caravan Review:
I would buy another one and recommend it to anyone!

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan?
I like the new look of the van, and the stay clean fabric on the seats.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan?
when you turn the seats around, you really can't use the table due to lack of space, it was a great idea,
but needs improving. I also like the idea of the mirror to look at the kids but they are so small in the mirror you can't tell if they are sleeping or what they are doing, making it pretty pointless! I have also had some problems with the van, like the back power doors don't close all the time, I always end up closing them myself, and now there is water traped inside the back doors! I fear the doors will rust for the inside out. also the van sometimes when driving the rpm. will stick and the ran will make a noise like a motorcycle.

2008 Dodge Grand Caravan Review:
Too many problems with this van, I'm NOT happy with this van, and I wish I had my old 2006 caravan back!

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan?
All the comon sense. Back seat that folds back for tail-gating. Side windows that go down. Center seats that swivel with the center table. I had 3 adults and 1 child that had a quick meal with plenty of room around the table. The AC inverter next to the audio/video inputs, just the right thing to do!

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan?
The video options were difficult to understand. I thougth I was getting one LCD in the top center but what I got was the LCD in the dash. Confusing! Even with the sales person

2008 Dodge Grand Caravan Review:
All in all great family van. Love it.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan?
If it's room your'e looking for, look no further. This can haul not only people, but most all of your household furniture too. The stow and go seating system is fantastic. I no longer needed a pickup truck after we got this.

I own the SXT, and the 3.8 L. engine has got the moveout power needed for any metropolis and the ride is remarkable for a mini van.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan?
Some of the exterior plastic trim has the look and feel of cheapness.

I am not a fan of the so called Smart keys. The bladeless fob key that starts the engine.

If stepped on, ran over, lost or whatever, then your going to have big problems in getting your Caravan and yourself back home.

To make a spare key is well over $100.00. To have one made in an emergency,,, you may have to take out a mortgage loan.

2008 Dodge Grand Caravan Review:
Good value for the money.
Past minivans costed comparatively more.
I would give this vehicle 2 thumbs up.
