| The Bottom Line |
The 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan defies the normal expectations for drivability in a minivan, while offering excellent entertainment features for families. Its few flaws are the kinds of things you might expect in a minivan.
|
The 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT hits the trifecta for tech options, including cell phone integration, navigation, and MP3 playback, but the implementation isn't always top-notch. Mediocre performance, handling, and fuel economy add to this car's compromises.
|
The 2007 Chrysler Town & Country does what minivans are supposed to do--carry people and cargo from point A to point B--but it's unlikely the driver will enjoy the trip, as the car's cabin gadgets are merely functional.
|
The 2006 Honda Odyssey EX-L is well set up for long trips with kids, getting decent highway mileage for a minivan, offering good in-cabin entertainment options, and keeping the driver informed with navigation.
|
Even with a redesign, the 2008 Honda Odyssey looks like a minivan from the last century, and its cabin tech barely gets it into this one. But it offers practical and economical transportation for a lot of people.
