  • In this video I give a short tour and test drive of a 2006 Dodge Caravan. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this van while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I show the van idling as well as take it on a thorough test drive through the city and highway on various surfaces. A thorough drive of this van designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

      A friend of mine had one, and when we took it up to Washington DC, it was num, unresponsive, and the seats were definitely not the most comfortable than what I sat in in my grandmother's old 2007 Chrysler Town and Country. Another thing about that van is that it was scary to merge with, because it did not push a lot of power at all. It barely had enough to get us up US 19 to parallel of I95. Don't take that van with you on a long trip.

    What's important is that it gets you where you need to go and as long as it doesn't cost you much to run it's doing it's thing. I used to drive an old 89 Mazda MX6, total junker but it was more faithful to me than newer fancy Euro cars. It had a stereo, working AC and it started on every turn, it more than did it's job.

    I've owned my base caravan since new in 2006 and it is a trooper. The 2.4L engine is an improvement over the 2.5 and 3.0L in performance on the caravan and on tight budget at 150hp (2.4L) on the base end of things. But it's basic transportation and you get what pay for!!! To me this engine sounds like the 2.2 with the smoother performance of the 2.5L but then I'm old enough to the difference and I've had the neon's 2.0 and all the K based products!! :)

It seems very overwhelmed, especially around the 5:28 mark where it struggles to reach 40mph. I can't imagine what it's like to drive around with 7 passengers in it!

    Really? I never knew that. Sienna is my favourite for minivans. And odyssey has the 6spd auto on high end models costing about the same as a new ml350.

    why does the engine make such a weird noise when you press the accelator

    In Canada we don't get the 4 banger. Its either the 3.3, 3.8 or now the 4.0. I bet fuel economy sucks in this van since the engine has to work so hard. Wonder how it performs when loaded up with 7 people?

      That’s what I thought. I had a 98 grand caravan many years ago with the 2.4 engine and surprisingly wasn’t bad for moving 6 people in it but the transmission failed after 2 years

    It’s not manual everything, because it’s not a stick shift.

    yeah i dont follow porches,not into that kind of vehicle but read that somewheres. not overdoing it there but a 9 speed is overdoing it a bit..unless its a transport truck or something that needs lots of gears.like i said 6 is the ideal number for a personal use type vehicle if you ask me.3 isnt the best but will do, 4-5 will serve well too.some real old vehices came with 2 speeds.hard on them with just 2. some electric vehicles and such have single speeds.different thig w/electric though.peace.

    imagine if chrysler still made these base vans with roll-up windows. would anyone still buy them?

      If they sold em for like 10 to 15 grand they might would. They would do good in developing countries like liberia or Nigeria

    No more in-depth tours anymore I assume and just only driving videos?
