5. Dodge Grand Caravan

The original Minivan. The early years included some turbocharged 4 cylinders and 5 speed manual transmissions, but todays Caravan is a much quieter, smoother, and more reliable vehicle. The interior has come a long way over the years, with LED reading lights, Stow-N-Go seating, plenty of storage, leather seats, and a heated leather steering wheel available. In Ram C/V form, the rear side windows are replaced with sheet metal, and in the rear is a load floor made from aluminum, featuring storage compartments and anti-slide strips, and rear cupholders. Other options include bluetooth,satellite radio, GPS navigation, and rear seat entertainment. When parked, the third row seat can even be flipped to face rearward. How cool is that? With a powerful Pentastar V6 engine coupled to a six speed automatic transmission, the Caravan offers 283 horsepower and 25 miles per gallon on the highway for a base price of $21,395.
