I can only comment on my '96 Caravan with 3.3 liter engine. I have owned this car since it was new and have no regrets, it has been almost trouble free (water pump, fuel pump and starter) in 14 years of service. These vans have a large amount of storage room and if it is a stow and go that makes it very versatile. The van drives like a car and is very comfortable on the road. In 2007 I bought a sedan and was going to sell the van but the kids (40+ in years) said oh, no, what if we need it to haul something, I said I will sell it to you, no takers, so we still have the van and when our local daughter needs to haul stuff she does not take the Durango, but borrows the Caravan.
Just my 02 cents worth.
