What I have to say about the 1999 Caravan: No wonder why it was the most popular minivan about 20 years ago, it's list of many different configurations and aggressive styling made it a top seller and contender in the minivan market. It's ability to be the most fun to drive minivan compared to other minivans also made it sell. The seats were really comfortable even for being cloth, this van is excellent for hauling around a family. If you need way more room step up to the Grand Caravan. This minivan isn't perfect though, less than stellar reliability was an issue and the room for the third row bench seat is very cramped in the Caravan, like I said I would step up to a Grand Caravan. Models Range from the Base Model to the mid level equipped SE and to the top level LE. All in all great Minivan a new model should be introduced in 2001.
