2010 Dodge Grand Caravan SE

The 2010 Grand Caravan is Dodge's minivan, the one that competes with the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna. It drives like a proper van: easy to see out of, simple to park, and steady on the highway. The cabin is all about function, with Stow 'n Go seats that fold flat into the floor and a big cargo bay behind the third row. Reliability is a known strength here, with many owners reporting trouble-free miles well past 100,000. The SE is the entry-level Grand Caravan, so you skip the Hero and SXT's extra horsepower and standard power sliding doors, but you save thousands and still get the same Stow 'n Go seats and cargo space. Its 3.3L V6 makes 175 horsepower and pairs with a four-speed automatic, which is adequate for around-town driving but feels strained on steep highway grades. Fuel economy is 19 mpg combined, and the trade for the lower price is a four-speed automatic instead of the six-speed you get in the SXT.
