[noahluvssveggietales]

Its so cool about the dodge grand carvan having double DVDS

[toyotas2006]

Having a chest bag in the seat would be nice

Also the roof not buckling would also be an improvement

[diegodaudt]

0:29-0:30 MY EYE!

[WHOO222]

the glass was kinda cool

[loneknight97]

the glass wouldve killed the kid in the back row

[Captainbob25202000]

@loneknight97  true,but i rather have tons of paper cuts,than be in a car where i can die right away in a crash(hint:chinese cars)

[1993gandy]

@Captainbob25202000 those cars are designed to reduce the population of china

[BIOGENA]

this is bad... look how much it folds... bad bad bad

[seanrayscam]

look at the glass flying like blades man,i had a crash at 270 kmh i went thru a house. i wuz lucky to walk away,that wuz in an acura 3.2 tls dodge is a death trap

[Bl4ckFusion]

LOL that's bad the people would die if they got t-boned.

[bamac2008]

Did good even without torso airbags 4 the driver

[staRatings]

Ok very good

Dodge/Chrysler have finally made a sure MPV.

But frenchs MPVs have reached this level of security since 2003 !(Peugeot 807 & Renault Espace).

[Wiishit23456withvids]

Wow safe but not as safe as the Chevy Uplander!

[chryslerminivans1111]

Safer than the Uplander.

[USFCARTWRIGHT]

not as safe as the honda oddysey or toyota whatever it is... umm. siena.

[Captainbob25202000]

yes it is consumer reports gave the uplander --267% in reliability, safety they say if you buy hope it won't break down......My mom had an uplander and she returned it to the dealer within 2 months because it left her on the side of the road, the alternator stop functioning and the water pump a car with two months on it. Now she is a proud owner for 6 months of a 2008 Dodge grang caravan sxt 3.8l and it's fast and has not left her on the side of the road.....

[Captainbob25202000]

i understand hey i'm not criticizing you or anyone else. like some people lash out at each other. each auto maker has their worst and good cars it's inevitable. to some people a crappy car may seem like a great car to someone else. you never know until you try one yourself,that's how you know. My brother in law has a 1988 chevy truck not sure which model it is. but it's a great truck and i don't argue that every doge, gm or other countries car's has their goods or bads.

[Captainbob25202000]

all of these comments are in general to everyone here, when you build a car, you have to keep in mind you can't cut corners in the car's safety, your life is much more important , than saving a couple of hundred measely dollars in the assembly line.

[GMminivans9968]

Okay.

[yepdcxrox]

You can't take it can you? The Caravan is more reliable that the Uplander a.k.a. Shitlander.

[yepdcxrox]

An opinion? Are you serious? Anybody with a BRAIN knows that GM can't build anything that is dependable. The only thing that you can depend on a GM car to do is leave you stuck on the side of the road.

[yepdcxrox]

You say that GM cars are "dependable", but the only thing you can depend on a GM car to do is leave you stranded on the side of the road all pissed off and frustrated." -yepdcxrox

and you said you weren't going to reply, and here you are.

[yepdcxrox]

"We have different views."

FACT- I back mine up with FACTS and links!

FACT- YOU make yours up, you pull them out of god knows where! You lie 100000% of the time. You are nothing but a good for nothing dumbass liar!

[yepdcxrox]

If you say so liar.

[de7universe]

i agree with you... had a 98 venture, camshaft friggin broke... never have heard of that, not even in a lemon... but i have a Chrysler town and country... couldn't be happier :)

[yepdcxrox]

A camshaft breaking? In a family car? Only in a GM. lol. What year T&C do you have?

[de7universe]

yep, only in a gm. we have a 2004 with about 70k on it... runs perfect even though it doesnt have that many miles on it

[yepdcxrox]

What engine do you have? 3.3 or 3.8? That isn't that many miles, compared to some that have over 250,000 on them.

[de7universe]

yea it doesnt have that many miles lol but it is a 3.3 v6

[yepdcxrox]

The 3.3/3.5/3.8/4.0 are good solid engines. Known to last far in to the 200k range with little or no repair. So far I think I have seen 5 gen 2 Minivans with the 3.3 FWD and 3.8 AWD with 250k on them. They had some rust issues, but most of the body was okay and the powertrain was amazing.

[dollypartonrocks]

I have the Dodge Grand Caravan and i love it all around!!!!!

[iluvladygaga156]

@dollypartonrocks ME TOO!

[filipinoboy147]

2 pieces of glass went towards the cam where the kids r

[Wiishit23456withvids]

True this car is a piece of shit

[chryslerminivans1111]

How can they own? They don't even make them anymore!

[alexkvaskov]

And it moves so little! But there is still too much glass for the kids in the back.

[GMminivans9968]

But still offers extreme protection!

[Wiishit23456withvids]

WHAT??'?!11!$&r/i67u_ R THIS glasses are dangerous!

[alexkvaskov]

First to comment and rate. Hmm, those side curtains are not that bad. Is the front crash test available?

[GMminivans9968]

2nd to comment, 2nd to rate, 2nd to view!

Much better results!

[alexkvaskov]

The previous Caravan was shitty in the side impact.
