I was heading to the airport two weeks ago and instead of leaving a LT car at the airport for six days, I carpooled home with Magrath. Upon discovering he had the Caravan, I slid open the rear door, Swiveled 'N Goed one of the Captain's chairs and yelled out "To Masselin Ave Jeeves!"
I shot the below video to showcase what it's like to ride backwards in the Caravan, but generally it's like riding in a train. I suddenly felt so Continental -- I actually took up smoking and ate a baguette later. Also, the Swivel 'N Go provides ridiculous leg room as the video shows, while raising the third row creates an ottoman (the footstool, not a Turkish guy). Throw in reversable dual video screens and this is quite the nifty vehicle to be a passenger in. To drive it and/or own it? Not so much.

Man, there is no love for this thing. Y'all might as well turn it in early. Why continue for a full 12 months of this constant beating?
This is a great car if you just get to interior decorating.
That huge living room in the back looks great. Just add some wallpaper, hardwood floors, flowers, coffee table, bowl of candy and chocolates, 2 paintings, and a ceiling mural that looks like a starry sky or Michelangelo's Creation of Adam.
Marble columns. We also need some marble Corinthian columns.
We rented a Caravan for a 4th of July road trip. Lots of room, decent ride. Drove just like I expect a van to drive; it's a van, not a sports car. I wouldn't want one for every day use, but it was very good for hauling 5 adults and luggage.
There maybe better vans, but this one was up to the task.
