This van runs well with no mechanical issues after 63,300 miles. We are avid heavy metal fans, and the stereo works exceptionally well. We don't have Sirius radio or a Bluetooth stereo, but we can hook an MP3 player or cell phone and play our music through the speakers. We can listen to music for hours that way. The stow and go compartments are also wonderful. We put our jack, booster cables, 4 way, and other safety items in one and snacks, water, a pillow and blanket, and activities for my young daughter in the other, so that when we make longer trips, she doesn't get bored. This frees the cargo space for groceries, luggage or whatever else we need to transport. The one thing I am unhappy with is that there are no environmental controls for the rear of the van. There are controls for the passenger seat, but none for the third row. The seat belts are adjustable! I am 5'2", so having a seat belt that I can lower is amazing! Especially since my son who also drives is several inches taller than me. Many seat belts feel like they are choking me, but I can lower my seat belt in the front and it doesn't choke me. I feel I will be much safer if I'm involved in an accident with the belt not across my throat.

The Grand Caravan with captains seats in the second row has been a great family road trip vehicle. It has been so very reliable and required minimal work with over 130k miles. The interior has held up wonderfully. The second row of seats leans back where people can sleep easily on road trips.
