The evergreen Grand Caravan continues through 2010 virtually unchanged. Power comes from a pair of V6 engines: a 175-hp 3.3-litre version, and the 251-hp 4.0-litre. Both get four-speed automatics and only come with front-wheel drive. Neat features abound inside, including either the Stow ‘n Go or Swivel ‘n Go seating options.

 

Pros

Big, inexpensive

Cons

Square, unrefined
