After replying to the thread "what do you think of GM", I started to think of the past cars that I've owned and which vehicle would score highest on design, use, and reliability.
After owning Pontiacs, Chevy's, Fords and Dodges, I'd have to give the nod to the Caravans that I've owned.
Good looking? No.
Reliable? Yes. In fact, I have an 89 with 170,000 miles that stands out in the weather and always starts. And the 89 is pretty easy to work on.
Utility? I have hauled everything from bricks to a pack of girl scouts with no problems. Hauling both kids to college with all their crap then going camping.
And many other people must feel that way since you will see them everywhere. go to a parking lot and count. If there is a vehicle that defines the 80's and 90's, it is Dodge's Caravan.
Yeah, I loved my Nova and do so like my Monte Carlo but, in the broad spectrum of what a vehicle does, the Caravan beats them all.
