Used to own an '03 GC sport which was a very good vehicle. Got rid of it because it was my daughter's DD and the gas was killing her.

The wife is hinting about getting another.

Would like to get an '05-'07 with stow and go, but, would consider the shorty without S&G if the price is right.

My question is how much of a difference is there? Mileage, performance differences? How much lighter is the Caravan? Is it noticably quicker?

My last one was a 3.3 I remember reading somewhere here that I should try to find a 3.8 as it is much stronger and doesn't suffer a mileage penalty. Does the Caravan come with the 3.8 or is that just for the GC?

What about the 4 cylinder?
