1997 Dodge Caravan Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers generally appreciate the spaciousness and reliability of the 1997 Dodge Caravan, making it a great family vehicle. Many enjoy its performance on highways and decent fuel economy. However, some have experienced issues with the power steering and transmission durability, and the cost of ownership is noted to be high."
i drove a dodge grand caravan in the late 90's in and around fort frances ontario.i liked how it performed on the highways since i lived in the country at the time.it was great in all the seasons.the interior was so spacious that my dogs came with me.the gas was good to fill up and maintenance wasn't that bad either,EXCEPT for the heating controls for the windows,didn't work properly and had to be prepared lots of time.a great family van for dogs as well.
March 24, 2012The cost of ownership on this 1997 dodge caravan is really expensive the gas mileage is ok but this is another car that wasn't built the right way the 3.3 is a really good motor but the transmission on these vans are really weak.
October 12, 2009The engine is a 3.3 , Returns very good mileage/ 18-city,25 highway, Air condition performs well even when temp reach 100 degrees, The air ducts build into the drivers and passager doors,are well designed, Thus providing cool or warm air to the passenger in rear seats, later model carvans do not have this duct system in the front doors, Shame on Chrysler for deleting it. Future Carvans do not have the very efficient 3.3 V-6 engine thus the vehicle gas mileage decreases.

February 23, 2008It has a lot of room in it, because it can seat 7 people. But it is not the most stylish car you could own. It is decent on gas. It is comfortable and some luxuries to it. I would not reccommend this car if you are trying to attract anyone!
