TCC’s Bottom Line

With the best flexibility and infotainment in the minivan world, the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan also satisfies families with great safety scores and good gas mileage.

With the 2014 Odyssey, Honda continues to innovate and offer up the most space-efficient interior for families, while driving better than most crossovers and SUVs.

TCC Likes

Strong V-6 power
Quickly converts from people carrier to cargo mover
Stow 'N Go's brilliance

Thoughtfully designed interior
Responsive handling
Nearly as fuel-efficient as a sedan

TCC Dislikes

Base cloth, some plastics look cheap
Ride gets boundy
Handling's just average

Front seats lack support
Priced higher than other vans
It's definitely not mini
