| 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2013 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I dislike the current emphasis on hard seats (and this applies to most other brands as well- Toyotas and Hondas are the worst). Enthusiast magazines can rave all they want about great support, etc, but the softer seats in friend's '92 Caravan are more comfortable than these in my 2013. I have an SXT model, which is sort of mid level in Grand Caravans, and it does have a power seat. However, that is an OPTION, and it should be standard above the SE model. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

Nice car, but front seats could be better. Close to a deal breaker. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

3.6 engine is very strong; acceleration is great. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |
| 2011 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The powertrain is smooth and powerful and shifts aggressive if pushed or economically if set to “eco” mode. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

6 speed transmission is clunky and unpredictable. One time it shifts great, the next it's shifting too hard or too soft. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |
| 2012 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This thing has some ridiculous number of gears, and you can feel the shifts as you go along. The engine has to be spun up to get the big power-it didn't seem nearly as powerful as it's rating. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |
