Surprisingly agile handling, quiet ride in V6 models, low price.

Some cheap interior bits, limited features and options, reliability record not as strong as some competitors.

SXT?

2003 Dodge Caravan SE Fwd 4dr Minivan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

We purchased our Caravan late in the '03 model year (there were already '04's on the lot) and paid about $19000 brand new. Our van is labeled as an SXT even though it is actually an SE with some extras. An end of year model change-up? I am really happy with the van and over the past year it has held up well. Only one small problem, the drivers side power window has failed on two …

never had a problem!!!!

2003 Dodge Caravan Sport Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 4A)

We bought it at 6 years old. We have had it 9 years. It has held up very well. The engine is still going strong. We are having to replace older parts wearing out and it has minor rust spots. The AC leaks on the passenger side floor but my husband puts AC fluid in and that helps. For a Dodge it has very comfortable seats. Three mechanics have told us to keep it and just continue to …
