bought a 2012 dodge grand caravan sxt for my wife

If people would buy what they need, everyone would buy a Mini-Van. Its the most common sense vehicle out there.
Room for 7, same as a Suburban.
Will go well on ice & snow, no need for 4WD.
Alot better fuel milage.
Great vehicles.
I have owned 5, my first one bought new in 1988.
I would still be driving one, but the wife was tired of them.
Good choice.
