Minivans are a vehicle built
for hauling—perfect for those who have young children, or personal belongings like
sports equipment or large items to haul. Minivans are perfect when taking road
trips and daily treks around town.
For their ability to move people
and things, minivans have long been praised as the best cars for families.
However, the vehicles have also caught the eyes of retirees for some of the
same reasons: easy access, high seating positions, and lots of passenger and
cargo space.
Buyers looking for a new car
should consider the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan at Melloy Dodge. It's not only one
of the best cars for families, but its capabilities are attracting others.
