Recalls and complaints

There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Reading the spec sheet
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Inside and out
Being a car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives.
Who the Caravan suits
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Try before you buy
Rent the Caravan first, and buy only if it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Caravan answers the big questions.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Year and trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
