The Dodge Grand Caravan has been Chrysler's family road warrior for generations, ever since it was introduced in 1983 as, simply, the Caravan. The most flexible minivan on the market today—save for one—it's also a 10-year-old offering that doesn't keep pace with the latest crash-test scores. The Grand Caravan easily outpoints its non-Chrysler rivals with a superior seating system and matches them for features that make long-distance trips go smoothly. It remains a good choice for carrying up to eight passengers, and for keeping them entertained along the way—if budget is a higher priority than safety.
