My Dodge Grand Caravan is a decent vehicle. I bought it used in 2009 and it has served us well. It is large enough to carry my family and friends as well as haul things, because of the fold in floor seating. There have been a few problems with the body and the air conditioner doesn't work well, but overall I've been happy with it and I would purchase another.

We have driven this car for nearly ten years, and it seems to still have a little life left in it. This vehicle has been on three cross-country moves hauling personal belongings and on many couple-day-drive round-trip traveling. We have had to do emergency tire changes three times, and they went quickly and smoothly. So far, the only major work needed was a rear axle replacement after it was bent (unsure how that happened, though). This has been our primary vehicle for almost ten years, and for two of those years, it was the only vehicle for the household. It handles well in all weather conditions it has encountered so far, including fair amounts of snow and ice. Once this vehicle reaches the end of its usefulness, we fully intend to replace it with a newer Grand Caravan and drive that one for another decade or more. We do not have any children, so we don't quite fit the stereotypical minivan customer ideal, but we have found it to be a useful and practical vehicle. As all the rear seats fold into the floor, we have used it several times to transport furniture, including a sofa sleeper.
