We bought this van because our family no longer fit in a hatch back. We bought the Grand Caravan after having an old beat up Windstar (which we also loved - it was pretty "sporty" for a van and had a removable VHS player) and decided to get something newer and more reliable - the Grand Caravan has the stow'n go seats which was an automatic win for us since we hated pulling the seats on the Windstar plus it had about the strongest engine and we needed to pull a trailer so it was an easy pick and years later I am convinced it has the best look of any van - no fidgety future lines or space ship sleakness, just classic car good looks. We love it. Also we have driven it across the whole dang country pulling a 5x8 trailer with everything we own (boats on the roof too) and it has never given us any trouble - some tire sensor issues but I blame the kids that changed the tires for that and a hose cracked in the winter once.
