Replying to: hause7 (Feb 06, 2009 2:33 pm) I forget what year they changed it, but when the MPV went to a 5 speed auto trans they changed suppliers and went with JATCO.   Japanese Auto Transmission COmpany, I think is what is stands for. Definitely not Ford at that point.   Mazda had plenty of bad Ford transmissions, CD4E namely, but later MPVs were not among those.

Does anyone know what's wrong with it? It's been down since Thursday. I really wanted to go on there with some questions. Just wondering if anyone on here uses it or knows any of the people that run the site.

#3605 of 3643 Caravan by lavrishevo Mar 10, 2009 (9:06 pm)
Replying to: 442dude (Mar 04, 2008 4:03 pm) My 06 Sedona was in the shop for a new bumper and the insurance company gave me an 08 Grand Caravan as a rental for a week. I was sorely disappointed.   What I did not like   1: The van was fairly underpowered and the tranny shifted rather poorly but I am not sure hot badly it was abused being a rental. Still, the engine was loud and unrefined as well as underpowered as I mentioned before.   2: The interior layout was very poor. Everything was super cheap inside and the sight lines are terrible for reverse parking.   3: Seats were another fail. Quite uncomfortable and material was cheap.   4: The van was virtually new, an 08 with 12 K on it and already the fender panels were raised from the corresponding body section. If i pressed hard it would go into place for a few hours before popping back out of place. Something weird from the factory.   5: The standard features lacked big time compared to my Sedona.   6: The only good think was the MPG was decent in the city due to the undersized engine.   Overall I was not impressed at all and I could not wait to get my Sedona back. For those who are thinking about the Grand Caravan or any of its cousins I would suggest test driving the Sedona or Entourage as an alternative.

What the insurance gave you was a rental vehicle with the cheapest minimal options which doesn't really represent what most people purchase. It's sorta comparing apples to oranges. Replies to this message: stush (Mar 11, 2009 2:07 pm) aaron_t (Mar 17, 2009 6:15 am)

Replying to: dave594 (Mar 11, 2009 9:59 am) That may be true about the Caravan just being a base model, but, with a base Sedona or Entourage you still get about 75 more horses under the hood and traction & stability control, standard. Replies to this message: aaron_t (Mar 17, 2009 6:15 am)
